<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>The results of this study show that failure of the examined caisson quay wall is induced by the deformation of the foundation and backfill soils. For all the analyzed remedial methods, improving the top 10 to 15 m of foundation soil under the wall and first ...

<p>Most of the Egyptian irrigation structures were built many decades ago. Most of these structures may be classified as unsafe structures when making an assessment of their resistance to earthquake loads in accordance with the current specifications. This ...

Lateral load tests were performed on a full-scale pile cap in clay before and after construction of shallow soilcrete walls produced by soil mixing and jet grouting on either side of the pile cap. This relatively simple approach increased the lateral resistance ...

<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 ...

<p>In this study, application of modified dry bottom feed stone column as one of the dominant ground improvement methods in the region was introduced. Also, a numerical analysis is carried out to check its performance with respect to displacements. According ...

<p>The seismic performance of bridge structures and appurtenant components (i.e., approach spans, abutments and foundations) has been well documented following recent earthquakes worldwide. This experience demonstrates that<br />bridges are highly vulnerable ...

<p>In this paper, we present a broad overview of the field case histories available for improved sites that have been subjected to strong ground shaking. This work is part of a larger research project intended to establish relationships between remediation ...

The bearing capacity and settlement behavior of large diameter above ground petroleum storage tanks are critical in loose and soft soils. Deep mixing ground improvement program successfully limited settlement of the tanks exceeded predicted values.

<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 ...
