In this paper, a thorough numerical study is conducted to rigorously evaluate the lateral
earth pressures exerted on the retaining walls backfilled with geosynthetic-reinforced soil …

A new discretization technique is proposed for a three-dimensional (3D) tunnel face in weak
strata with a random position in space. This method limits the angle, height, and thickness of …

Vertical ground acceleration is a component in an earthquake loading, and in some cases,
the vertical to horizontal acceleration ratio (V/H ratio) may be very large. However, the …

In the present study, a semi-analytical model that couples the three-dimensional (3D)
kinematical approach of limit analysis and the modified pseudo-dynamic method was …

The existing analytical models for predicting earth pressures based on the kinematical
approach of limit analysis are limited to soil masses with homogeneous internal frictional …

This paper presents a stochastic seismic analysis of geosynthetic-reinforced soil slopes
(GRSS) using the probability density evolution method (PDEM). The combination of the …

Seismic stability analysis of geocell-reinforced slopes (GRSs), considering shear and
moment strength in addition to tensile resistance for geocells, is a novel topic for which …

Reinforced subgrade for railways (RSR) is a construction method in which reinforced
subgrade is constructed first and a rigid facing wall later to minimize the residual settlement …

In geological engineering, the unsaturation and non-uniformity of soil have significant
influence on slope stability. However, they were common neglected in published literature …

This study developed a finite-element lower-bound procedure to investigate seismic slope
stability in homogeneous and non-homogeneous soils. In order to account for dynamic …
