The deficiency of high-quality soils in Saudi Arabia's southern and northern regions, as well
as along the Arabian Gulf coasts, is regarded as one of the most common issues with the
construction of roads. High compressibility, low shear strength, substantial volume change
(particularly in Sabkha), and low bearing capacity are the most typical issues with these
problematic soils. In this study, finite element simulations were performed using the Plaxis
3D software v20 to simulate the performance and study the critical responses (fatigue, rutting …
