Existing studies have focused on the behavior of the retaining wall equipped with expanded
polystyrene (EPS) geofoam inclusions under semi-infinite surcharge loading rather than …

In this study, the influence of transient flow on the active and passive lateral earth pressures
of variably saturated backfills is thoroughly evaluated employing the lower bound theorems …

Assembled multi-step cantilever retaining walls pulled locally with geogrids is a novel
structure with light weight, quick installation, and good applicability for high fill earthworks. In …

Expanded polystyrene geofoam has long been used as a compressible lightweight
alternative for soil backfills to reduce lateral pressure behind retaining walls. Uncertainty in …

Expansion of bridge girders in summer moves integral bridge abutments toward backfill,
causing high lateral earth pressures behind the abutment. Some backfill material slumps …

In the present study, a series of shaking table model tests were performed on a slope with a
gabion reinforced retaining wall. Transfer functions were employed to compute the inherent …

In this study, the seismic behavior of a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall with inclined
backfill is investigated under sinusoidal acceleration excitations using a series of 1-g …

Although there have been a lot of studies on landslides in geologic hazards in China, the
study on tuff landslides in southeast coastal areas is relatively lack. In view of this, based on …

A sheet-pile wall was adopted to fortify the expansive soil slope in 4970 Special Railway
Line in Dangyang City, China. Due to a water-swelling property of expansive soil, a …

The present study has two objectives for the design of cantilever walls based on the local
site conditions: i) estimating the minimum foundation width in the seismic loading condition …
