Simplified Procedure to Evaluate Earthquake-induced Residual Displacement of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Retaining Walls
Based on a series of shaking table model tests, it was found that the eŠects of 1) subsoil and backˆll deformation, 2) failure plane formation in backˆll, and 3) pullout resistance mobilized by the reinforcements on the seismic behaviors of the geosynthetic reinforced soil retaining walls (GRS walls) were signiˆcant. These eŠects cannot be taken into account in the conventional pseudo-static ba...
متن کاملShear Strength of Fiber-Reinforced Clayey Sands
Consolidated-drained triaxial compression tests were conducted to compare the stress-strain and volume change response of sands and clayey sands reinforced with discrete randomly distributed poly-propylene fibers. The influence of various test parameters such as fiber content (0.0%, 0.5% and 1.0% by weight), clay content (0%, 10% and 20% by weight), relative density (50% and 90%) and confining ...
متن کاملShear Strength of Soil
One of the most important and the most controversial engineering properties of soil is its shear strength or ability to resist sliding along internal surfaces within a mass. The stability of a cut, the slope of an earth dam, the foundations of structures, the natural slopes of hillsides and other structures built on soil depend upon the shearing resistance offered by the soil along the probable...
متن کاملPeak Vs Residual Shear Strength for Landfill Bottom Liner Stability Analyses
The decision whether to use peak or residual shear strengths for a stability analysis must be made in the context of a specific design situation. Yet even when the specific situation is defined, the decision of whether to use peak or residual shear strength is often unclear. In general, if there are potential construction, operation, or design conditions that might cause relative displacement b...
متن کاملShear Strength of Reinforced Web Openings in Steel Beams
The floor beams of steel buildings, cold-formed steel floor joists in particular, often require large web openings, which may affect their shear capacities. A cost effective way to mitigate the detrimental effects of such openings is to weld/fasten reinforcements. A difficulty associated with an experimental investigation to establish suitable reinforcement schemes for openings in shear zone is...
