Expansive soils exist in many countries worldwide, and their characteristics make them
exceedingly difficult to engineer. Due to its significant swelling and shrinkage characteristics …

This study investigates the performance of granular anchor piles and helical piles in
expansive soils. Expansive soils pose challenges for engineering due to their significant …

The redistribution of stresses caused due to relative induced displacements of the soil
particles and the displacement between soil and structure is termed as soil arching. The …

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 …

This study compares the performance of various foundation systems in expansive soils, such
as mats, granular anchor piles, and concrete piles. Expansive soils experience volumetric …

Lunar industrialisation will require access to in situ material resources. The lunar surface
itself provides a wide range of resources that may be extracted and utilised in different ways …

Loose sandy soil poses foundation challenges due to weak compaction and cohesion,
leading to settlement risks and structural instability. The earlier used techniques …

An efficient and affordable foundation technique to combat pullout forces experienced by
transmission towers or foundations in expansive soils is the granular pile-anchor foundation …

In the present study, the finite element limit analysis is used to investigate the undrained
stability of dual trapdoors in non-homogenous soil. The dual trapdoors system is modeled in …

Helical anchors are tension members widely used to provide tension resistance to structures
that are prone to uplift. A relatively new method called granular pile anchor is a modified …
