Based on special engineering geological conditions of a cut-slope area at Heitanping hilly-pass along Yongzhou – Jishou highway, shear creep properties of weak interlayer in this slope (about 30 m deep) have been studied by shear creep test to obtain shear creep curves. Shear creep constitutive model can be obtained by stationary parameter fra...

The use of geosynthetics has been a common practice in geotechnical engineering when the improvement of local soil characteristics is necessary. This paper presents an experimental and numerical study of the performance of HDPE geomembrane as impermeable blanket installed upstream of embankment dams, a treatment technique for very permeable foundation. ...

The objective of this paper is to analyze the mechanical behavior of a clayey sand soil with added green coir fiber at 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1% by dry weight, through a series of laboratory tests that physically and mechanically characterize the samples in order to evaluate possible changes in the soil properties. Unconfined compression and indirect tensile te...

This paper presents a model to predict the ultimate pullout load (Pu) for a shallow single vertical plate anchor embedded in sand and fiber reinforced sand for depth (H)/diameter (D) ratios of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0. The model was developed based on literature field test results and wide laboratory investigation. The numerical analysis was performed using the...
