Geogrid Mechanical Damage Caused by Recycled Construction and Demolition Waste (RCDW): Influence of Grain Size Distribution

April 06, 2020
Recent studies have shown that recycled construction and demolition waste (RCDW) can be used as backfill material in geosynthetics reinforced soil (GRS) structures. However, besides the environmental and economic benefits of this practice, it is necessary to evaluate the mechanical damages that RCDW could cause to the reinforcement elements. This study aims to i...

Numerical Investigations on Seismic Bearing Capacity of Interfering Strip Footings

April 30, 2020
The interaction between footings placed at close proximity affects the ultimate bearing capacity, settlement, and tilt of adjacent footings, especially under seismic loading. This paper reports the numerical finite element analysis to investigate the interference effect on the seismic bearing capacity of closely spaced rigid strip footings for a wide range of fo...

Effects of Hydraulic Gradient Variation on the Structure and Strength of a Compacted Tropical Soil

May 26, 2020
Tropical soils have been extensively studied to evaluate the technical feasibility of their application in hydraulic earthworks such as compacted clay barriers in landfills. In these earthworks, the water flow in the porous medium generates percolation forces that can promote structural changes in the soil, with possible deleterious repercussions on its mechanic...

Orientational Analysis of the Vesics Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations

February 13, 2020

The determination of the bearing capacity of shallow foundations can be considered as a complex elasto-plastic deformation problem, which is often studied phenomenologically. The phenomenological equations are naturally constructed based on the typical dimensions of the variables involved (unit weight, foundation size, etc.) - all physical laws must gua...
