Back-to-back mechanically stabilized earth (BBMSE) wall is a specific case of modern earth retention technique, where the design of the wall system depends on the spacing between two walls as the limited space behind the wall controls the interaction between them as well as their stability and lateral earth pressure distribution along the wall heig...

An effort has been made to perform a detailed characterization of fine-grained soils considering the relative significance of plasticity index for liquefaction risk assessment of the alluvial soil along Indo-Gangetic River banks. To establish this, the author emphasizes the application of computational models in comparison to statistical or empiric...

Analysis of slope stability is a classic issue with immense consequences in geotechnical engineering. Using a two-dimensional finite element analysis tool, the present study investigates the influence of different distribution patterns in the soil slope reinforced with geogrid on the shear failure plane and stability of the slope under gravity and...

This paper presents the numerical study based on the adaptive finite element analysis of the bearing capacity of a strip footing on reinforced soil mass. A parametric study has been conducted to estimate the ultimate load-bearing capacity of footing having a width, B resting over reinforced soil mass (qult, R) using wraparound ends configuration of...

An essential requirement during the design of structures is a rational assessment of the ultimate bearing capacity of the footing resting on rock mass (qu). The qu is influenced by several parameters, and the simultaneous consideration of all such factors during the assessment of ultimate bearing capacity is a cumbersome process. Considering that t...

The land scarcity has built up the pressure on the engineers to bring a cost-effective and time-saving solution to utilize the ground with poor strength as a foundation bed for various structures. With the recent progress in the area of ground reinforcing techniques using geosynthetics, the extensive usage of geotextile materials as a reinforcing e...

With the advent of ever-growing urbanization and industrialization, there exists a requirement for heavy infrastructures that can retain heavy earth masses and are sustainable in its functioning. The conventional earth mass retention methods using rigid retaining walls are not preferred for most of the projects, as they are expensive and are time-c...

Over a previous couple of decades, there is a rise in research related to the use of synthetic fibers as soil reinforcement materials due to their availability, economy, and growth in recognition of sustainable development. As an outcome of rapid urbanization, an enormous amount of construction work is going on throughout the world, and due to the...

Soil nailing is an efficient in-situ ground improvement technique that is being used extensively in the field to stabilize the unstable artificial or natural soil slopes. In this paper, a parametric study is done by varying the soil nailing parameters, namely the length (L) and the inclination of soil nails (α), with respect to the horizontal for a...

Piled raft foundations (PRFs) are essential for improving the load-bearing capacity of the foundation and for controlling the total and differential settlements. For an efficient design of the foundation for high-rise buildings, components of PRF such as length, diameter, and raft thickness are important factors. This study aims to examine the inte...

The advent of industrialization and unrestrained urbanization created a demand for the construction of heavy engineering infrastructures which caused extensive environmental deterioration. Also, the construction industry generates huge waste in the form of demolished material and recycled material. Therefore, the need of the hour is to explore all...

The use of geosynthetic reinforcement to enhance the ultimate load-bearing capacity and reduce the anticipated settlement of the shallow foundation has gained sufficient attention in the geotechnical field. The improved performance of the shallow foundation is achieved by providing one or more layers of geosynthetics below the foundation. The full...

The scarcity of competent load-bearing strata for the foundation of the various structure has built pressure on geo-technicians to use the soil with poor strength employing numerous ground modification techniques. Reinforcing soil strata using geotextile material is a well-established, cost-effective, and proven methodology to improve the bearing c...

Soil nailing is commonly used to stabilize cut slopes and earth retaining structures, embankments and sometimes to reduce the lateral earth pressure on retaining wall. This is an in-situ reinforcement technique that uses passive rigid bars usually made up of steel that can withstand tensile forces, shearing forces, and bending moments. In the prese...

The usage of reinforcement in the soil mass has resolved the issue of scarcity of suitable land for construction. It has enabled the wise utilization of problematic soils with the application of geotextile as reinforcements. Out of many alternatives of the utilization of geotextile material as a reinforcement element for the soil, the provision of...

This study intends to examine the behavior of a GRS wall with static footing loading above it, while varying the positions of the footing. For the study of behavior of such complex structure, finite element modeling is handy and enables to look into the various stress/strain developed in the numerical model. In view of the above, a series of finite...
