Geotechnical monitoring and instrumentation play a key role to assess the safety and
performance of the geotechnical structures. Conventionally used electrical instruments …

Bituminous pavements cover a large part of Canada's roadway network. Traffic and
environmental loadings cause distresses and damages in the pavement structure. A …

In this paper, influence of different types of soils and geosynthetics on soil/geosynthetics
interface behaviouris investigated by direct shear and pullout tests. Three different types of …

The direct shear test and the pullout tests are two widely used test procedures for
determining the properties of the soil–geosynthetic interface. It is evident from the previous …

This paper presents the results of experimental investigations and constitutive modeling of
cyclic interface shearing between HDPE geomembrane and cohesionless sandy gravel. A …

A series of monotonic and multistage pullout tests were performed using a large pullout
apparatus to study the monotonic, cyclic and post-cyclic pullout behavior of a uniaxial woven …

Presently, pond ash is accumulated in large quantities in thermal power plants. There is
potential for large-volume utilization of pond ash as a fill material. Applications involving …

This paper presents a study on the enhanced performance of ballasted tracks through the
implementation of geogrids. A series of large-scale direct shear tests and impact tests was …

Geosynthetics reinforced soil structures (GRSSs) have a tendency to be large and high,
resulting in high normal pressures on the geosynthetics. As one of the effective tests for …

In recent years, environmental sustainability concerns stemming from natural resource
depletion along with the need to ensure proper management of vast amounts of construction …
