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 study presents the results of experimental tests carried on buried uPVC (unplasticized
polyvinyl chloride) pipes with an external diameter of 160 mm. The behavior of buried pipes …

The paper attempts to evaluate changes in the load-bearing capacity of buried flexible
structures in the aspect of using geotextiles as reinforcement of backfill. The laboratory tests …

In recent years, much research has focused on the use of various materials for relieving and
strengthening soil, eg, steel reinforcing ribs, geosynthetics, geocell, waste tires, and …

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 …

Low-strength substrates and anthropogenic soils are always an issue in civil engineering.
Based on the soil layer types, several methods could be used to improve the …

Laying geogrids and compressible materials, such as expandable polystyrene (EPS), on the
tops of culverts under high fill can improve the stability of the fill and reduce the earth …

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 …

Corrugated metal pipes (CMPs) corrode over time. To maintain structural performance,
deteriorated CMPS must be replaced or rehabilitated. Spray-applied pipe liners (SAPLs) are …

Building on weak soils is very challenging in engineering projects, especially highway and
railway projects. To overcome these problems, especially in the construction of …
