The performance of passive battered piles resisting the embankment-induced lateral soil movements may differ from that active pile and axially loaded existing vertical adjacent to embankment constructions. This study was part a preliminary feasibility investigation for reinforcement plan an actual project, aiming experimentally investigate under movement. To this end, sequence reduced-scale mod...

We have shown previously that anti-fecundity immunity can be induced experimentally against recombinant 26 kDa glutathione S-transferase (reSjc26GST) in Chinese water buffaloes (Bos buffelus), important reservoir hosts for Schistosoma japonicum in China. In the field study described here, we immunized buffaloes with reSjc26GST to induce protective immunity against S. japonicum and to evaluate i...

To study the deformation behavior of high rockfill (HRF) embankment during construction and operation, based on more than a 50-m second-class road reconstruction project from Xunyang to Ankang national 316 in Shaanxi, China, centrifuge model test was performed laws HRF embankment. The results showed following: (i) stable operation; (ii) construction, settlement occurred at top, uplift slope foo...

In practice, the performance of structure is studied based on a seismic scenario composed independent single earthquakes. But in real life, subjected to multiple earthquakes during its typical design working which will produce an evolution damage with time.The main purpose this paper quantify liquefaction-induced embankment due sequential defined life. Moreover, non-parametric survival analysis...

In order to study the working mechanisms of pile foundations applied embankment engineering on weak slope foundations, a finite element model foundation reinforced by is established. The influence position and length stability studied, mechanical response are also studied. results show that different positions have great safety factor deformation embankment. varies greatly from one reinforcemen...

The collected field data from well-instrumented reinforced embankments in the framework of a real project for extension inner-city area at HafenCity Hamburg is used to study effect environmental changes on load transfer process over structure lifetime. A particular focus put improve understanding mechanism soil embankment pile foundations through geosynthetic layer and investigate corresponding...

In recent years, the ground penetrating radar (GPR) is increasingly used in the detection of riprap embankments. In order to analyze the costal embankment with explosive compaction, model experiments are conducted to investigate the influence of seawater on the signal and image of GPR, especially to figure out the image variation of riprap bottom boundary. The influence of immersion of seawater...
