The performance of four sections of a full-scale embankment constructed on soft soil is
examined using a fully coupled and fully three-dimensional finite element analysis. The four …

This paper presents the case history of the construction of a 3 m high embankment on the
geocell foundation over the soft settled red mud. Red mud is a waste product from the Bayer …

A compilation of practical knowledge and new technologies, this book discusses all phases
of design and construction processes, from the first investigation step to the monitoring of …

The geosynthetic encased column (GEC) is a relatively recent method developed for soft soil
improvement. The method was firstly introduced as a concept in the 1980s and first practical …

This paper presents a numerical simulation using PLAXIS code of geosynthetic reinforced
embankment over locally weak zones. The case study concerns the reinforcement of the …

The combined effects of the viscoplastic nature of foundation soil and viscoelastic behaviour
of geosynthetic reinforcement (polyester, polypropylene and polyethylene) are investigated …

This study investigates the benefits of artificial inclusions placed underneath the ballast
layer. A series of large-scale cyclic triaxial tests were carried out on ballast with and without …

This paper compares the field response of two test embankments constructed on similar soft
soil deposits. The un-strengthened foundation had vertical drains underneath the …

It has been widely accepted that reinforcement made of polyethylene and polypropylene is
susceptible to creep and soil's hydraulic conductivity varies with its void ratio. However …

A two-dimensional coupled mechanical and hydraulic finite element (FE) modeling was
performed on a 7.6 m high built-to-failure reinforced soil retaining wall (RSW) on very thick …
