Abstract New York City faces accelerating inundation risk from sea level rise, subsidence,
and increasing storm intensity from natural and anthropogenic causes. Here we calculate a …

In order to control the differential settlement between the existing and widened
embankments, lightweight foamed concrete (LWFC) was proposed as a filler of the widened …

Increased traffic volume in China has made it necessary to increase road capacities by
widening embankments. Some of these widened embankments are located in thick soft …

The reconstruction and expansion of highways have become the dominant focus of current
infrastructure development. However, this process often results in significant differential …

This study aims to investigate the lateral response of a single precast concrete pile
reinforced with cement-improved soil through a series of theoretical studies and 3D finite …

The objective of this case study is to evaluate the development of soil arching in an
embankment being widened. In two test sections, earth pressures at different locations were …

More and more expressways built on soft soil foundations need to widen their embankments
because they cannot fulfill the demand for the traffic volume. Geosynthetic-reinforced pile …

A geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported (GRPS) embankment that consists of embankment
fill, geosynthetic, piles, and foundation soils is a complex soil–structure system. Its key load …

Soil arching effect results from the non-uniform stiffness in a geosynthetic-reinforced and
column-supported embankment system. However, most theoretical models ignore the …

Generally, the maximum differential settlement appears at the overlapping area of existing
and new road pavement after highway widening project. However, lots of longitudinal cracks …
