To effectively mobilize concrete strength, a newly developed composite pile, the so-called
“Precast Concrete Piles Reinforced with Cement-treated soil (PCCS)”, has been used to …

Retaining walls are sometimes unavoidably constructed near existing stabilized structures to
maintain stability of narrow retained c-ϕ soils. Although some analytical approaches have …

The paper presents axisymmetric FEA solutions for the bearing capacity of conical footings
embedded in anisotropic and inhomogeneous clays using NGI-ADP model. The bearing …

Seismic bearing capacity of strip footings in cohesive soil slopes considering various
embedded depths is investigated in this study. Novel solutions using pseudo-static method …

This study employs a two-dimensional plane strain finite element limit analysis method to
examine the stability of fully-braced excavations in non-homogeneous clay. The excavation …

There is currently a lack of an available design approach to estimate the earth pressure in
narrow backfills behind retaining walls rotated about the top (RT). The considerations of …

Abstract Pit-in-pit (PIP) excavations in an aquifer–aquitard system likely undergo
catastrophic failures under the hydraulic uplift, the associated undrained stability problem …

This study presents a hybrid framework to predict stability solutions of buried structures
under active trapdoor conditions in natural clays with anisotropy and heterogeneity by …

Underground structures/machines may undergo upward and downward movements due to
construction activities or environmental changes. The ground state could be significantly …

When constructing superstructures on soft soils, severe issues including excessive
settlements, bearing failures, and large lateral displacements arise and cause challenges for …
