The ultimate lateral resistance of free- and fixed-headed piles in cohesive soil is examined this paper using the three-dimensional finite element limit analysis with upper lower bound theorems. A special concern, that novelty study, devoted to combined effect three important dimensionless parameters; namely, overburden stress factor (n), pile length-diameter ratio (L/D), eccentric length diame...

Gelatin, a biopolymer derived from animal proteins, has been selected to stabilize three fine-grained soils by determining select index and engineering properties. Specimens for California Bearing Ratio (CBR) were tested using different curing methods, i.e., thermally cured at 60 °C, unsoaked, 7 days air-cured submerged specimens. The amount of gelatin added the soil ranged 0.5% 2% weight. sequ...
