An international educational initiative to facilitate the exposure of geosynthetics to  undergraduate civil engineering students has been conducted by the International Geosynthetics Society  (IGS) for over a decade. Geosynthetics is a comparatively new topic within geotechnical engineering  and, consequently, has only been sp...

Geotextile tubes can be used to dewater materials such as sludge, sediments or residues aiming at reducing their moisture contents to acceptable levels. The tube filling process can be carried out using one or several filling stages, and the number of stages can influence the tube behaviour in terms of dewatering rate, final shape and geotextile strains...

In this case study of a soil nail retaining wall, the measured horizontal displacement is of the order of 0.023% H, where H is the excavation depth, while the two-dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis suggests horizontal displacements of the order of at least 0.5% H. This study aims to understand which parameters influence such displacements ...

The use of granular column is one of the ground improvement methods used for soft soils. This method improves the foundation soils mechanical properties by displacing the soft soil with the compacted granular columns. The columns have high permeability that can accelerate the excess pore water pressure produced in soft soils and increase the undrained s...
