Abstract: Conventionally, when the method of slice is adopted to assess the earth pressures behind the retaining wall considering a curvilinear failure surface, the mobilized soil mass usually is discretized into vertical slices. The point of… read more here.

Abstract: Rigid pipes under high embankments are often installed using the induced trench technique by introducing a compressible zone above the pipe. Made from discarded tires, tire-derived aggregate (TDA) ... read more here.
