Soil Arching over Deeply Buried Thermoplastic Pipe

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2003
Soil arching associated with buried thermoplastic pipe is discussed. First, the soil arching phenomenon is described. Then two different approaches are mentioned from the literature to represent the degree of soil arching (or vertical arching factor). The elastic solutions of Burns and Richard are revisited to derive expressions for the vertical soil ...

Can Soil Arching Be Insensitive to ϕ?

International Journal of Geomechanics, 2010
Arching is a common phenomenon that is encountered in backfilling behind retaining walls, trenches, or underground voids in the mine. Marston’s equation has been widely used and modified for computing stresses within backfills, duly accounting for the reduction in stresses due to arching.

Analysis of Soil Arch under Dynamic Load

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012
Aroused by the differential stiffness of pile and soil, the upper load on subgrade is apt to be transferred to pile rather than soil among piles in pile supported embankment(soil arching effect), which optimizes the load-transfer path and effectively limits total settlement of the subgrade.

Kinematics of soil arching in piled embankments

Géotechnique, 2019
The transfer of embankment stresses towards pile heads in piled embankments is attributed to the mechanism known as soil arching. Three-dimensional physical models of piled embankments were built to simulate this mechanism. The progressive settlement of subsoil beneath an embankment was modelled and paused at increments of displacements to allow ...

Arching in Soils Applied to Inclined Mine Stopes

International Journal of Geomechanics, 2011
Determination of stress distribution, giving due consideration to arching mechanism within minefill stopes, is of great importance because of its influence on the ground stability, ore recovery, and cost effectiveness. Most of the past studies on the stress determination have been applied to vertical stopes, and there is a lack of research study ...

Slope stability enhancements through soil arching

Earth embankments built over soft foundations require the use of ground improvement measures of the foundation such as installation of rigid inclusions or piles. The vertical piles improve the settlement and the overall stability of the embankments.
