<p>This paper presents a thorough study on various available modern ground improvement techniques and their applications in civil engineering in present scenario. On the basis of long term performance results of various ground improvement techniques and its ...

<p>A series of finite element (FE) simulations are carried out to evaluate the benefits of integrating a high modulus geo-fabric as reinforcement into the soil-layers in this paper. Finite element analysis can handle complex geometry, different boundary conditions ...

<p>This document presents information on the analysis, design, and construction of permanent soil nail walls in highway applications. The main objective is to provide practitioners in this field with sound and simple methods and guidelines that will allow ...

<p>Consideration of soil as a living ecosystem offers the potential for innovative and sustainable solutions to geotechnical problems. This is a new paradigm for many in geotechnical engineering. Realising the potential of this paradigm requires a multidisciplinary ...

Black cotton soil is a typical expansive soil which loses its strength in presence of water résultant in swelling of the soil and in absence of water it shows multiple cracks due to shrinkage. Present paper describes the strength behaviour of Black cotton ...

<p>Numerical methods combined with centrifuge tests are used to investigate the distribution and development of soil stresses and reinforcement tensile loads in geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) structures. In this study, system stability indicated by the ...

This paper introduces the assumptions, procedure and results of a number of three dimensional numerical analyses for simulating the behavior of an encased, versus unencased, stone column group installed in a very soft soil layer; the finite element technique ...

This report describes intelligent compaction, a new method of achieving and documenting compaction requirements. Intelligent compaction uses continuous compaction-roller vibration monitoring to assess mechanistic soil properties, continuous modification/adaptation ...

The site of a warehouse expansion in Tampa, Florida was underlain by sand overlying limestone. The performance criteria required ground improvement to densify the upper sand in order to maintain a maximum total settlement of 25 mm (1 inch) for an applied subgrade ...

<p>When dealing with deep soil improvement, there are two widely known methods, Deep Soil Mixing and Jet Grouting. The Combined Deep Mixing and Jet Grouting method (DMJG) is a relatively new technique integrating the two traditional methods into a single operation ...
