The stress-distribution angle is an important parameter for the design of retaining walls and foundation beds has a non-negligible role in rationality engineering design. There lack research on stress distribution reinforced earth-retaining under cyclic loading. In order to study characteristics geogrid-reinforced soil-retaining (GRSW) loading, GRSW different number load cycles were analyzed by...

Fracture grouting is widely used for building foundation reinforcement, however the underpinning mechanisms are still not clear. Using numerical results about a single-hole fracture process as basis, model composed of soil and veins has been created to analyze reinforcement mechanism. The influence weights vein skeleton compaction effect have studied, thereby obtaining relevant information on c...

Abstract—This paper presents a numerical study for investigating the effectiveness of geocell reinforcement in reducing pressure and settlement over EPS geofoam blocks in road embankments. A 3-D FEM model of soil and geofoam was created in ABAQUS, and geocell was also modeled realistically using membrane elements. The accuracy of the model was tested by comparing its results with previous works...

Back-to-back mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls can sustain significant loadings and deformations due to the interaction mechanisms which occur between backfill material reinforcement elements. These are commonly used in embankments approaching bridges, ramps, railways. The performance of a reinforced wall depends on numerous factors, including those defining soil, reinforcement, soil/re...

Beginning of the twentieth century, population growth, urbanization and industrialization has led to depletion of rapidly building areas. Accordingly, each passing day, the opening of the new construction sites has become mandatory. Among these newly opened areas, geotechnical aspects of construction from time to time in areas not suitable for construction and deployment was seen to improve the...
