This paper addresses the results of the experimental and numerical studies conducted on
4.2 mm thickness and 110 mm diameter high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes buried in …

Generally, foundations of many structures, such as transmission towers, bridge abutments,
ocean engineering structures, marine dolphins, dock-fendering systems, and moorings are …

This research aims to investigate the applicability and performance of piled rafts in soft clay.
This aim has been achieved by studying how the pile length, pile number, raft-soil relative …

In design, internal stability of EPS lightweight fills are provided either by applying load
distributing mechanisms (thick pavements or concrete slabs) or using more strong …

Soft clay improvement using lime columns is an effective and economic method; which used
mainly for enhancing the engineering properties of soft soil, reducing settlement and …

The EPS geofoam as a lightweight material has been widely used in recent years to boost
the performance of geotechnical structures. Both the internal and external stability of the fills …

Building on weak soils is very challenging in engineering projects, especially highway and
railway projects. To overcome these problems, especially in the construction of …

Abstract Modified Piled Raft (MPR) foundations have the potential to reduce seismic force
transmission to the superstructure compared to connected piled raft foundations. However …

The construction on the soft clay which extends in many areas in Egypt is considered a big
challenge. The soil of Port-Said is one of the inverted soils such as Frankfurt and Shanghais …

The recent and continuous industrial development at Port-Said necessitates many factories
and gas plants to be constructed on its thick graduated clay soil. Accordingly, suitable …
