<p>Taksim&ndash;Kabatas&cedil; Funicular System Project is planned to integrate the metro system and sea transportation routes by connecting the Taksim Station of the Metro System and the Kabatas&cedil; Sea Bus Pier. The system is also connected to the tramway ...

<p>The ground improvement performed at the site of two 190-ft (57.9 m) diameter, 40-ft (12.2 m) high, 8 million-gallon (30,300 m3), circular steel water storage tanks consisted of installation of stone columns to mitigate liquefaction and lateral spreading ...

This paper describes numerical analyses of multiple tunnelling undertaken using the commercial finite element software Plaxis. The aim of the study is to improve prediction of minimum interaction distance between multiple driven tunnels at shallow depths in ...

This paper presents a new concept of the seismic countermeasure for a structurally special part of tunnel such as ramp of road tunnel and a crossover of double-truck railway tunnel, in which a flat and large cross-sectional tunnel and a junction of tunnels ...

The original subgrade conditions generally consisted of loose, liquefiable sands, expected to significantly lose strength during the design earthquake and soft, compressible clays. To mitigate the risk of liquefaction-induced instability and to mitigate the ...

<p>The proper selection and evaluation of a soil improvement technique for use at a particular site is neither a simple nor a single-outcome proposition. Local conditions and specifical as well as expertise and judgement are integral parts in the desicion-making ...

This report reviews five low vibration ground improvement techniques suitable for remedial work near existing structures. The five techniques are: - compaction grouting, permeation grouting, jet grouting, in situ soil mixing, and drain pile. The factors which ...

<p>This Guide to Earthwork Construction has been prepared to provide construction engineers and technicians with information on all aspects of earthwork construction. Although it is not intended to be a design manual, it does contain considerable backgournd ...

<p>Soil compaction is defined as the method of mechanically increasing the density of soil. In construction, this is a significant part of the building process. If performed improperly, settlement of the soil could occur and result in unnecessary maintenance ...
