Generally speaking, geocells can be used to alter the geometry of a soil pressure bulb beneath an applied load through a phenomenon known as the mattress effect. ...
Stabilization for Higher-Performing Pavements Ports and intermodal yards in coastal areas are more prone to pavement problems due to inherent soft, unsupportive soils and high water levels. Heavy traffic patterns and the constant weight of loaded parked trailers and stacked containers at these facilities can accelerate the degradation of the paved or unpaved surfaces and subbase materials. The ...
During each field test, data were recorded from strain gages, linear variable differential transformers, and earth pressure cells by computerized data acquisition units.Review of the deflection data from 14 tests revealed a pattern on the initial deflection that can be explained by considering a dimensional ratio between the rib spacing, S, and ...
Readings from earth pressure cells that were flushmounted in an instrumented retaining wall exhibited progressive change with time (drift) after backfill placement. ...
