The Saint-Fabien landslide occurred in December 1976, 270 km northeast of Quebec City, Canada. took place a valley filled with glaciomarine sensitive clay covered by peat bog deposits and presenting an upwards hydraulic gradient. Unique features this event are the ground surface failure that both close to horizontal. In addition, passive active zones were observed debris after landslide, indica...

EPS geofoam has been used for about 40 years in many geotechnical applications in many countries around the world. EPS geofoam possesses properties which are often advantageous in geotechnical construction. These include: an extremely low density, a high strength-to-weight ratio and very small or virtually zero lateral expansion under compressive loading. It has been used for backfilling retain...

Trench is connected to very narrow and deep excavation filled with bentonite suspension. This paper presents estimation of its stability in cohesive soil. The stability is assessed by two calculation methods. The first involves the equilibrium of forces acting on the rigid wedge. The second one includes numerical calculations conducted in Plaxis 3D Foundations. A few examples having different d...

Bu çalışma İstanbul ili Bağcılar ve Zeytinburnu ilçelerinde yapılmış zemin etütleri sonrası geoteknik raporlar sonucunda elde edilen verilerle, yüksek plastisiteli kil zeminlerdeki düşey yer değiştirmenin azaltması için kum kazıkların performans değerlendirilmesini içerir. İncelemeler sonlu elemanlar yöntemi olan PLAXIS-2D ile yapılmıştır. kapsamda suya doygun (yeraltı suyunun olmadığı) kuru ki...

Abstract Due to their multiple uses and structural challenges they outline during normal circumstances seismic events, retaining walls constitute an important concern for civil engineers. Design of these structures requires accurate determination lateral earth pressure under various conditions. Considering the dynamical action excitation, total cohesion-less soil backfills is often estimated by...
