Au cours des trente dernières années, divers chercheurs ont proposé des techniques
approximatives pour estimer la capacité d'arrachement des ancrages dans le sol. Comme la …

In the earlier companion paper (Ong and Choo, 2018), direct shear tests were performed on
reconstituted tunneling rock spoils for the development of equivalent tangential cohesion, c't …

Soil anchors are commonly used as foundation systems for structures that require uplift or
lateral resistance. These types of structure include transmission towers, sheet pile walls and …

An experimental study of uplift capacity of 22 circular helical anchors installed in sand with
peak friction angles between 40 and 50° was performed. Laboratory triaxial tests indicated …

The trapdoor problem is a useful model for providing a clearer understanding of stress
distribution around basic geotechnical engineering structures such as tunnels, conduits and …

Vertical soil arching, commonly known as the “trapdoor mechanism,” is a pervasive
phenomenon in various geotechnical applications that can be evaluated through a variety of …

Soil arching is relevant in various engineering applications such as tunnels, underground
pipelines, and culverts, where there is a relative movement between soil and structure …

Finite element limit analysis with plane strain condition is employed to determine the upper
and lower bound solutions of the undrained limiting pressure behind soil gaps and the …

A recent study on active trapdoor stability has been completed by the authors using
Terzaghi's three stability factors approach. It was concluded that the superposition approach …

Soil arching is relevant in various engineering applications particularly in cases where there
is relative movement between soil and structure. When a portion of the soil mass yields …
