The present study is about under-reamed pile subjected to uplift forces. They are known to
be very effective especially against uplift forces. The objective is to develop a simple design …

In this paper, a detailed numerical study is conducted to evaluate the lateral earth pressure
acting on geosynthetic-reinforced retaining walls with an anisotropic granular backfill …

To study the settlement and dynamic response characteristics of shallow square footings on
geogrid-reinforced sand under cyclic loading, 7 sets of large scale laboratory tests are …

In the current study, an attempt was made to investigate the performance of two-tiered
mechanically stabilized earth walls (T-TMSEWs) under static footing loading using reduced …

Due to complexity and a variety of influential factors, interactions at the soil-reinforcement
interface are still not fully understood. In current research, pullout tests are conducted to …

This study analyses two full-scale model tests on mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls.
One test was conducted with a rigid and one with a flexible wall face. Other parameters were …

Stability of reinforced retaining structures under a variety of surficial loadings is of particular
significance in geotechnical engineering practice. In the current study, adopting the well …

The soil behind the retaining wall may be subjected to various cyclic loadings, for example,
machine vibration, traffic and earthquake loading. To reduce soil deformation and improve …

Waste foundry sand (WFS) is a sustainable backfill geomaterial with potential to be used in
retaining structures. In the present study, 28 distinct laboratory-scale physical model …

This paper describes a series of reduced scale tests, at unit gravity, performed on circular
footings supported by reinforced sand. Reinforcement by multiple layers of geocell was …
