There have only been a limited number of analyses of soil–steel bridges under seismic and
anthropogenic (rockburst) excitations. Rockbursts are phenomena similar to low-intensity …

To obtain the optimal load‐reduction scheme and calculation method of earth pressure on
the crown of the pipe, the load‐reduction efficiency of rigid pipe and flexible pipe with …

The increasing use of buried corrugated steel plate (CSP) bridges and culverts in
transportation infrastructure contributes to looking for the most optimal solutions regarding …

The effects of induced trench configuration and stiffness of compressible inclusion on the
high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe behavior were investigated through full-scale …

The induced trench construction method has been in practice across North America for the
last century, and the analysis and design of such structures are conducted in accordance …

The induced trench installation method is applied by placing material with high
compressibility on rigid pipes to reduce the earth pressures acting on them. Although the …

The application of compressible materials to reduce the impact of transferred pressure and
developed stresses in underground structures has gained significant attention in recent …

Full-scale experimental case studies have shown that the induced trench construction
method effectively reduces the vertical earth load that is exerted on culverts installed …

Due to insufficient backfilling and compaction, voids existing around the bottom of a buried
pipe can have a negative effect on the mechanical behavior of the pipe. Expanded …

This chapter introduces expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam as a relatively new material
for civil engineering applications. EPS geofoam is significantly lighter that common civil …
