Urban excavations are frequently performed using anchored retaining walls. Overall stability is an important stability verification in such walls and is significantly influenced by geometrical and mechanical characteristics of the wall, of the anchors and of the soil. In the present work, particular emphasis is given to the role of the embedded length i...

This paper advances understanding of the key parameters controlling unconfined compressive strength (qu) of lime stabilized fine-grained soils by considering distinct specimen porosities (η), different lime types and contents and several curing temperatures and time periods. A sole empirical relationship is proposed establishing the normalized unconfine...

Present investigation intends to examine the mechanical behaviour of compacted coal fly ash – carbide lime mixes to assess their potential use as a sub-base/base material for low volume roads. This study plans to compute the impact of carbide lime content and dry density on the properties (durability and strength) of compacted coal fl...

Consolidation of soft sediments stored in the confined disposal facilities or mine tailing dams has challenged the scientists to come up with the best consolidation device for the past 50 years. Since the Terzaghi consolidation theory does not apply in soft sediments due to lack of permeability measurements and self-weight effect, the seepage-induced co...
