Stability of reinforced slopes is almost always carried out using limit equilibrium methods and controlled by the shear strengths of the slope materials and the extension force of reinforcements. According to limit equilibrium methods, the stability of slopes is assessed by dividing the whole failure wedge into several vertical elements. In order to determine the safety factor of the reinforce...

The mechanical behavior of earth concrete for sustainable construction has been studied in this paper. effect flax fibers on the fracture monitored using digital image correlation (DIC) and acoustic emission (AE) techniques to better understand process damage mechanism. Three-point bending tests have conducted prismatic specimens with different percentages (0%, 0.3% 0.6%) lengths (12 mm, 24 50 ...

Considering unsaturation conditions of soil significantly helps to produce relatively real results. Numerical methods have been assumed as conventional methods in soil mechanics to examine soil behavior. However, the accuracy of numerical methods dramatically depends on applying the appropriate behavioral model to solve problems. One of the known elastoplastic models for unsaturated soils i...
