Hypoplastic Model for Unsaturated Soils With Degree of Saturation Dependent Stiffness

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an enhanced hydro‐mechanically coupled hypoplastic constitutive model for unsaturated soils, developed by extending an existing framework, with particular emphasis on improving the stiffness formulation to better capture the influence of the degree of saturation. The existing framework links Bishop's effective stress to the

An Islamic Perspective on the Sustainable Development Goals: Exploring Key Challenges From the Ravi Riverfront Urban Development Project

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Projects are typically viewed as mechanisms for delivering products and services; however, this study examines projects from the distinct perspective of grand challenges (GCs). The selected case is the Ravi Riverfront Urban Development Project in Lahore, Pakistan—a grand challenge project (GCP).

Analytical solutions to evaluate bending failure of column supported embankments

, 2013
Design procedures for Geosynthetic Reinforced Column Supported (GRCS) embankments generally consider the sliding failure for external stability and the shear failure mode for internal stability. However, other failure modes such as collapse failure, slip

Railway embankments as new habitat for pollinators in an agricultural landscape.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Pollinating insect populations, essential for maintaining wild plant diversity and agricultural productivity, rely on (semi)natural habitats. An increasing human population is encroaching upon and deteriorating pollinator habitats.

Static and Dynamic Analyses of Micropiles to Reinforce the High Railway Embankments on Loose Beds [PDF]

Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil Engineering, 2013
Construction of railway embankments on loose beds without using any methods of soil improvement (e.g. stone columns in silt and clay beds, deep soil mixing method, jet grouting and also using micropiles individually or in groups form) leads to  reduction

Analysis of causes of construction failure of road embankments [PDF]

Biuletyn Wojskowej Akademii Technicznej, 2016
The paper proposes a methodology for conducting the analysis of causes of con-struction failure of road embankments. First of all, it is focused on damaged road embankments, which represent a substantial percentage of this type of failure.
