<p>In recent years, due to city development, excavation and building construction in the loose fill of the southside of Tabriz, Iran is inevitable. This paper presents a case study of stabilization of a 16m deep excavation in loose fill using soil nail wall ...

<p>In this paper the slope stability of Aydoghmoosh earth dam situated in the north west of Iran is evaluated by various methods of limit equilibrium, finite element and finite difference. Among numerous limit equilibrium methods, Simplified Bishop, Janbu ...

<p>The performance of diaphragm walls in excavation for Shandao Temple Station of Taipei Metro is evaluated by using the concept of wall deflection path which is a plot of maximum wall deflections versus depth of excavation. Finite element analyses were performed ...

<p>Since 1930, the analysis of slope stability is done according to the limit equilibrium approach. Several methods were developed of which certain remain applicable because of their simplicity. However, major disadvantages of these methods are (1) they do ...

<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 ...

Among soil improvement techniques used to increase strength of loose and<br>medium-dense sand deposits are the dynamic means, such as vibrocompaction and blasting. Sands often exhibit a drop in cone penetration resistance immediately after the disturbance, ...

Geosynthetic reinforcement over a grid of piles in soft soil can help transfer loads to the piles, and reduce settlements. This first part of a three-part study utilises a three-dimensional thin-plate model of the geosynthetic. The von Ka´rma´n theory, which ...

<p>This paper presents a case history of a distressed 6m to 10m high soil nailed slope formed for basement excavation at fill ground over a natural valley. Above the soil nailed slope, there is an existing 8m to 11m high reinforced soil wall, located 23m away ...

<p>This paper presents the results of an investigation on the characteristics of tunnelling-induced ground settlement in groundwater drawdown environment. The dynamics of the effect of groundwater drawdown on the ground settlements are first investigated using ...

The present study concerns analysis of the seismic response of earth dams. The behaviour of both the shell and core of the dam is described using the simple and popular non associated Mohr-Coulomb criterion. The use of this constitutive model is justified ...
