This study aims to demonstrate the effects of geogrid reinforcement on bearing capacity strip footing under eccentric loading. Numerical analysis using finite element program called (PLAXIS 2D Professional v.8.2) are presented. The effect each depth ratio topmost layer (u/B), vertical distance between consecutive layers (h/B), number (N), and effective (d/B) were studied, where (B) is width. Al...

Taş kolon, yumuşak zeminin taşıma kapasitesini artırmak, zemin konsolidasyonunu hızlandırmak ve oturmasını azaltmak için kullanılan etkili bir iyileştirme yöntemidir. Bu çalışmada, literatürde geçmiş laboratuvar çalışmasından alınan doğrulanmış sayısal model parametreleri kullanılarak taş kolonun zamana bağlı davranışını değerlendirmek dizi çalışma yapılmıştır. kolon ile iyileştirilmiş birim hü...

A Boundary Element Method (BEM) approach was developed for the analysis of pile groups. The proposed method includes: the non-linear behavior of the soil by a hyperbolic modulus reduction curve; the non-linear response of reinforced concrete pile sections, also taking into account the influence of tension stiffening; the influence of suction by increasing the stiffness of shallow portions of so...

1 Pedro Lamas, Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, [email protected] Abstract The Bologna Process assigns new challenges in higher education and in geotechnical engineering courses in particular. The ECTS (European Credit Transfer System), based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a program study, implies reduction of contact hours between tea...

High transportation demand has led to widening of existing roadways to improve traffic flow. In some cases, the space available on site is limited and the construction of earth retaining walls is done in front of previously stabilized walls. This can lead to retaining wall designs that are narrower than those addressed in current design guidelines. Narrow walls are Mechanically Stabilized Earth...

The present paper provides a case study and an overview of the stability high banks bordering eastern basin largest central European lake, Lake Balaton, in Hungary. External factors such as rain, lake-water level, or pore water pressure are considered analysis. slope was assessed using two software with different approximations calculation methods. results models Plaxis Rocscience Slide2 compar...
