Geomembranes are used worldwide as basin liners in tailings ponds to decrease the
permeability of the foundation and prevent further transportation of harmful contaminants …

The importance of the buried pipelines lies in two main topics: the first is related to the very
long length of these pipes, and therefore protecting them is expensive. The second topic is …

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the numerical and parametric study of
geocell-reinforced cohesive soil beds, focusing on different infill materials. The numerical …

There have been many studies that have investigated the behavior of buried corrugated
metal pipes (CMPs) in culvert applications. However, full-scale testing of buried culverts is a …

Induced trench method is a well-known technique usually used to reduce the soil pressure
applied on buried pipes. This method involves the use of a lightweight compressible …

This study conducted large-scale cyclic loading experiments on the base layer overlying a
weak subgrade soil. Geotextile and cement-treated geotextile were utilized to reinforce the …

High density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes are generally not used in applications that will be
exposed to high filling stresses. For this reason, there are not enough experimental and …

The recent increase in the use of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) geofoam in construction and
geotechnical projects has driven researchers to investigate its behavior, more deeply. In this …

In pipes made of HDPE used in city water supply networks, a specific type of failure is
commonly noted, called the parrot's beak failure. It requires expensive intervention. The …

Featured Application The findings of this study can be applied in engineering practice for the
protection of buried pipelines and other underground life lines crossing under or near …
