Considering unsaturation conditions of soil significantly helps to produce relatively real results. Numerical methods have been assumed as conventional methods in soil mechanics to examine soil behavior. However, the accuracy of numerical methods dramatically depends on applying the appropriate behavioral model to solve problems. One of the known elastoplastic models for unsaturated soils i...

This study aims to investigate the impact of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on seismic behavior reinforced concrete buildings. An advanced numerical model for SSI was developed and verified using ABAQUS software. The response a 12-story building four types soil (rock, dense soil, stiff soft soil) examined Normalized Response Spectra based Moroccan paraseismic regulation RPS 2011. global later...

Nowadays, the geotechnical design trend is increasingly heading towards serviceability limit state. However, current practice in of geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) walls mostly relies on ultimate Commonly available software programs provide typical factor safety values against various failure modes. With increasing height and variability GRS walls, deformation characteristics also become an ...

several relationships to assess at-rest pressure coefficient in retaining walls, have been developed by different researchers. these suggested relationships are generally a function of mechanical soil parameters such as internal friction angel, poison ratio and over-consolidation ratio. in integral bridges, however, this coefficient is also a function of many other parameters other than soil ch...

electro-thermo-elastic stress analysis of piezoelectric polymeric thick-walled cylinder reinforced by boronnitride nanotubes (bnnts) subjected to electro-thermo-mechanical fields is presented in this article. the electro-thermo-elastic properties of piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (pefrc) was studied by a modified xy micromechanical model capable of exhibiting full coupling relation be...

buildings with wall or frame-wall systems are more effective against earthquake forces and sustain less damage than buildings which their lateral resistance is solely depends on frames. four reinforced concrete (rc) structural wall specimens were subjected to cyclic loading using finite elements method with abaqus software in order to study influence of diagonal web reinforcement. the research ...

• Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil with Retaining Wall (GRS-RW) vs conventional embankment. The experiments are carried out in a full-scale testing facility laboratory. Two track forms considered: three-sleeper concrete slab and ballasted track. GRS-RW structure showed good performance under both static cyclic loading. pressure levels found the experiment were compared against literature. This pape...

this research examines the behavior of soil-reinforced piles and applied loads based on the analytical method and by using the numerical results of flac3d software for comparison with the analytical results. the analysis was based on a method called virtual retaining wall, the following into consideration: an imaginary retaining wall that passes the footing edge the bearing capacity of footing ...
