An assessment of the geometry effect of geosynthetics for base course reinforcements
Geosynthetic-reinforced base course is potentially a cost-effective solution for flexible pavement construction. With the recent advance in the mechanistic-empirical pavement design in the United States, there is a need to develop the next generation ...

Abstract Placing moisture store‐release (SR) soil covers over hypersaline tailings has been a promising way to rehabilitate closed tailings storage facilities. However, the performance of SR covers in limiting evaporation‐driven salt migration remains less investigated. A one‐dimensional numerical model that couples the transport of liquid water, water

Influence of Nonwoven Geotextiles and Geogrids on Shear Strength of Expansive Montmorillonite Clay
This study investigates the impact of different geosynthetic reinforcements on the shear strength and swelling behavior of expansive montmorillonite clay. The results highlight the superior performance of geogrids and biodegradable geocells in enhancing soil stability, reducing swelling, and improving soil strength under varying stress conditions ...

This study evaluates the effectiveness of soil–cement reinforcement configurations in deep excavations using 2D FEM analysis. It investigates two different approaches to represent soil–cement reinforcement and compares them, showing that blocks reduce lateral deflections by 60%–64% and bending moments by 22% compared to columns.

ABSTRACT In‐situ stress condition is an important aspect of buried unpressurized pipelines. Empirical approaches used for preliminary design are usually based on observations, which may be associated with some errors related to the measurement method. The photoelastic approach represents an alternative, nonintrusive measurement technique to model the ...

Groundwater Hydrodynamic Oscillations From Swash With Transparent Sand (GHOSTS)
Abstract Interactions between surface flows and groundwater in beaches can influence erosion and accretion, wave overtopping, groundwater levels and salinization, and transport of nutrients and pollutants. Laboratory experiments using transparent crushed quartz and optically matched mineral oil as proxies for sand and water allow the degree of ...
