Effect of woven geotextile reinforcement on mechanical behavior of calcareous sands
The mechanical properties of calcareous sands are critical as potentially important material sources for marine geotechnical constructions. Brittleness and large deformations created in calcareous sands can affect the stability of marine structures and ...

Structures constructed on expansive soils are experiencing higher upward pressure due to swelling- shrinkage nature of expansive soil. India has 15–20% expansive soil, which causes severe damage to the existing structure, including pavements, dams, multi-

Utilization of Geotextile Tube for Sandy and Muddy Coastal Management: A Review
Threats to beaches have accelerated the coastal destruction. In recent decades, geotextile tubes were used around the world to prevent coastal erosion, to encourage beach nourishment, and to assist mangrove rehabilitation.

Experimental salt marsh islands: a model system for novel metacommunity experiments [PDF]
Shallow tidal coasts are characterised by shifting tidal flats and emerging or eroding islands above the high tide line. Salt marsh vegetation colonising new habitats distant from existing marshes are an ideal model to investigate metacommunity theory ...

Behaviour of micropiles in heterogeneous coarse soils [PDF]
This paper reports on an experimental investigation on the behaviour of small-diameter piles, commonly referred to as micropiles. This particular type of deep foundation is frequently used in many barely accessible Italian mountainous areas, often ...

Study of installation of prefabricated vertical drain through a geotextile tube bund [PDF]
Traditional coastal protection and containment structures, such as sand dykes and concrete seawalls and barriers, are increasingly being replaced by geotextile tube bund as a sustainable alternative. In this application, it is common to encounter a layer

Asperities effect on polypropylene & polyester geotextile-geomembrane interface shear behaviour [PDF]
The summary of this paper is focused on the result of a study that used quantitative measures of surface texture as the basis for examining the effects of asperities on the shear characteristics of geotextile-geomembrane interfaces. About 30 large direct

Impact of temperature on the pullout of reinforcing geotextiles from unsaturated silt [PDF]
This study investigates the thermal soil-geosynthetic interaction mechanisms of reinforcing geotextiles confined in compacted silt that may be encountered when using mechanically-stabilized earth (MSE) walls as geothermal heat sinks.

Development of shear resistance at cohesive soil – geotextile interfaces [PDF]
The shear resistance at cohesive soil – geotextile interfaces is important for the proper design of geotextile-lined structures. Although the interaction behaviour at cohesive soil – geotextile interfaces has been studied in the past, most of those ...
