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 …

Geosynthetics-reinforced soil (GRS) foundation can improve the bearing capacity of the
foundation and reduce the settlement of the footing, which has been widely applied to the …

This paper investigated effects of geogrid reinforcement on the load transfer in pile-
supported embankment under cyclic loading using self-moving trapdoor tests. In the self …

In this study, the contribution of single and multiple layers of geogrids to bearing capacity
and stress behavior was determined by laboratory experiments. The effects of parameters …

In recent years, there has been a concerning increase in road collapses triggered by failures
in urban drainage systems. Concrete pipes, commonly uesd in urban drainage pipelines …

This paper reports full scale experiments, under simulated heavy traffic, of geocell and EPS
(expanded polystyrene) geofoam block inclusions to mitigate the pressure on, and …

In this study, large-scale fully instrumented laboratory tests were conducted to investigate
the behaviour of buried flexible high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes, in sand beds with …

Accurate measurement of particle shape is necessary to properly investigate the cyclic shear
behavior of a soil–geogrid interface. In this study, the particle shapes of crushed limestone …

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 …

Buried pipes may transport substances that can be harmful to people and the environment.
These structures may be subjected to damages caused by soil movements and external …
