In general, the undrained strength anisotropy of clays is found in nature. Its effect on a
stability problem during undrained loading should be considered in order to get a more …

Road-related sinkholes are of great concerns nowadays, appearing frequently in media
stories. In the undrained stability analysis, a dimensionless stability number that is known as …

Plate anchors are frequently used to provide resistance against uplift forces. This paper
describes the reinforcing effects of a geocell-reinforced soil layer on uplift behavior of anchor …

The problem of trapdoor stability is a crucial problem in geotechnical engineering. This study
is the first to introduce novel neural network-based metaheuristic models for the stability …

In this paper, the internal pressure required to be offered by a support system to support the
periphery of circular tunnels excavated in granular soils in the presence of groundwater …

Use of geosynthetic reinforcement may improve the performance of many geotechnical
systems, including anchors. In this study, the uplift capacity of geocell-reinforced sand is …

Various types of anchors are used in civil engineering projects to resist uplift forces. A plate
anchor is one of the most common anchors which was used for bearing static or cyclic uplift …

To optimize the distance between the bells in pile design, this paper reports a series of small
scale tests on the uplift capacity of double belled piles embedded in dry dense sand …

The decrease in undrained uplift capacity of horizontally placed square and circular plate
anchors due to presence of a nearby saturated undrained clayey slope has been analysed …

Percussion driven earth anchors (PDEAs) are driven into soils using an installation steel
hammer rod. PDEAs are relatively easy to install and have gained wide applications …
