Many analytical and numerical analysis and design methods for geosynthetic-reinforced soil
structures require a single-value (constant) estimate of reinforcement stiffness. However …

In the literature, the influence of spatial variability of the undrained shear strength of
foundation soils on the bearing capacity of footings is limited to footings seated directly on …

Geotechnical data used for reliability-based design (RBD) and load and resistance factor
design (LRFD) calibration can be parsed into subgroups based on material type, location …

This study evaluates the earthquake-induced movement of mechanically stabilized earth
(MSE) walls. A thorough investigation was conducted on an MSE wall model, utilizing a …

A surrogate model-based response surface method is proposed to predict the maximum wall
facing displacement of geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) segmental walls using the …

This paper reports the results of 3D numerical modelling of a 6-m-high mechanically
stabilised earth (MSE) wall constructed with concrete panels and steel or polymeric strip …

Analytical and numerical solutions for the problem of geosynthetic-reinforced fills over a void
have been the subject of investigation for the last four decades. A common feature of this …

Reinforced soil or mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall structures offer straightforward
construction techniques as an alternative to conventional retaining earth walls. The benefits …

This paper presents the results of load and resistance factor design (LRFD) calibration of the
facing limit states for soil nail walls. The current AASHTO facing load model and a modified …

The mean (point) estimate of reliability index (β) for simple limit state performance functions
is most often based on load and resistance model bias statistics taken from bias data of …
