Mitigation of Dynamic Load-Induced Pipeline Displacements Using EPS Geofoam

Stress-Strain Response Characteristics of Buried Gas Pipelines Under Landslide Action

Typically, triggered by geological hazards such as landslides, ground displacement acts as the main cause for the failure of buried pipelines. To maintain the structural integrity of these pipelines, an in-depth investigation is required to understand how these pipelines, subjected to landslide thrust, respond mechanic...

Numerical investigation and parametric study of geocell-reinforced embankments under static loading

Geocell reinforcement has been increasingly applied in transportation infrastructure to improve the stability and serviceability of road embankments constructed on weak subgrades. The load transfer mechanism in geocell–soil systems involves complex interactions between soil confinement, lateral restraint, and membrane...

Geosynthetic-reinforced soil wall behaviour under high-speed railway moving cyclic loads

With the rapid expansion of high-speed railway (HSR) infrastructure, ensuring the long-term stability of geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) walls under repeated traffic loading is critical. This study investigates the dynamic mechanical behaviour of HSR GRS walls using a combination of physical model tests and three-di...

Mechanics of Buried Pipelines Loading under Localized Subsidence: A Three-Dimensional Soil-Arching Approach

The combined effects of localized subsidence-induced size effects and pipe–soil interaction render conventional load calculation theories inadequate for accurately evaluating pipeline loads after foundation subsidence. To overcome this limitation, the 3D transfer characteristics of vertical loads acting on buried pip...

Seismic Response and Failure Mechanisms of Tunnels Constructed Using the Pipe Roof Preconstruction Method

Analysis of Geosynthetic-Reinforced Tailings Dam Slopes Subjected to Surface Loads

This study presents an extensive numerical investigation of the stability of a geosynthetic-reinforced tailings dam embankment slope subjected to surface loads from retained pyrite tailings slurry upstream of the dam. The analysis was performed on an embankment with an inclination of 1V:2.5H on the upstream slope a...
