Investigating Soil-Geogrid Interaction: Insights from Long-Term Pullout Tests [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThe study investigates the impact of soil confinement and interaction on the long-term tensile response of geosynthetics. To achieve this goal, a novel large-scale laboratory apparatus was developed; it allows us to investigate the pullout behaviour of ...

2H and 18O depletion of water close to organic surfaces [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2016 Hydrophilic surfaces influence the structure of water close to them and may thus affect the isotope composition of water. Such an effect should be relevant and detectable for materials with large surface areas and low water contents.

Elasto-plastic Modelling of the Behaviour of Granular Soil-structure Interfaces
, 2004 It is well known that interfaces usually play a major role in the definition of the mechanical behaviour of engineering structures having interactions with the soil. In this paper the general framework of an elasto-plastic constitutive model developed on purpose for describing the interface behaviour is presented.

Enhancing reinforced soil performance: Polymeric coated steel woven wire mesh and geogrid interaction in composite systems [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThe pullout resistance at the interface of composite reinforcement systems is a fundamental element in the design of reinforced soil structures. A correct evaluation of this strength allows for the proper sizing of the reinforcement and ensures that the ...

Issues involved with thermoactive geotechnical systems: characterization of thermomechanical soil behavior and soil-structure interface behavior [PDF]
DFI Journal - The Journal of the Deep Foundations Institute, 2014 This paper focuses on the main issues discussed during a session on the impact of thermohydromechanical behavior of soils on thermoactive geotechnical systems, and how they could affect the performance of thermoactive geotechnical systems. Both soil behavior as well as soil–structure interaction behavior was discussed.

Effects of Surrounding Earth on Shell During the Construction of Flexible Bridge Structures
Studia Geotechnica et Mechanica, 2019 A characteristic feature of soil-steel structures is that, unlike in typical bridges, the backfill and the carriageway pavement with its foundation play a major role in bearing loads.

Numerical Simulation of Hysteretic Live Load Effect in a Soil-Steel Bridge
Studia Geotechnica et Mechanica, 2014 The paper presents numerical simulation of hysteretic live load effect in a soil-steel bridge. The effect was originally identified experimentally by Machelski [1], [2].

Karl Popper and the Mechanisms of Hydrogen Embrittlement
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Representation of the beginning of loss of ductility rather than embrittlement. Small concentrations of hydrogen in a diffusible form within iron are well‐established to harm the mechanical integrity of steels. There are theories that attempt to explain the pernicious role of hydrogen.

Effect of Tunnel Progress on the Settlement of Existing Piled Foundation
Studia Geotechnica et Mechanica, 2019 Tunnel construction below or adjacent to piles will affect the performance and eventually the stability of piles due to ground deformation resulting in the movement of piles and changes in the axial force distribution along the piles. A three dimensional
