This paper numerically investigates deformation behavior of coarse‐grained granular
materials with emphasis on the effect of grain size distribution (GSD). Biaxial compression …

Abstract Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls have been widely used as retaining
structures due to their flexible nature, a better tolerance against differential settlement, and …

Abstract Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls constructed on unsuitable foundation
soil are prone to large deformation and bearing capacity failure. A variety of techniques can …

The soil properties characteristics are the object of the current study. Determination of the
soil properties characteristics is a complex and responsible engineering and geological …

This chapter discusses the literature review which was conducted to summarize the
engineering properties of recycled waste materials (rubber and carpet fibres) and their …

Matting systems are used for many applications for the military as temporary surfaces to
reduce ground pressure exerted by aircraft, heavy equipment, vehicles, and construction …

Shear strength is a very important property of soils. Shear strength of granular soils can be
determined from angle of internal friction. To determine angle of internal friction direct shear …

Washington has one of the fastest growth rates in the nation, and unfortunately also is
among the most landslide-prone states. With increased population density and urban …

Soil particle characteristics like mineralogy, particle shape and size have a significant impact
on the soil mechanical behavior of the soil mass. In cases of high stress loading (deep …

Shear strength is a crucial engineering property of soil, representing its ability to withstand
shear stress without failure under specific normal stress conditions. However, shear strength …
