Seismic performance of pile-reinforced slopes
<p>Shallow embankment slopes are commonly used to support elements of transport infrastructure in seismic regions. In this thesis, the seismic performance of such slopes in non-liquefiable granular soils has been investigated and an extensive programme of centrifuge testing was conducted to …

Harvesting impacts on steep slopes in Virginia
… with conventional rubber-tired skidders on slopes greater than 30 percent in Virginia. Special emphasis was placed on erosion, compaction and soil movement. Ten randomly selected study areas were clear-cut between September 1988 and August 1989; measurements followed between March 1989 and …

Dynamic Pile-Soil Interaction in Laterally Spreading Slopes
The collapse of buildings and infrastructure is an unfortunate consequence of major earthquakes (e.g., the 1964 Alaskan earthquake, the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan and the 2007 Pisco earthquake in Peru). Liquefaction-induced lateral spreading is known to be one cause of severe damage to deep …

Seepage in earth slopes with longitudinal drainage trenches
… tested at three slope angles. For each of these slopes, three different values of trench spacing were tested. For each of these, tests were conducted at three seepage levels. Measurements of seepage removal rate were taken along the longitudinal direction of the trench under transient and steady …

Seismic Stability of Slopes in Sensitive Cohesive Soils
The use of the field vane shear test for measuring the undrained peak and residual shear strength was also reviewed. A correction factor for use of the vane shear strengths in seismic stability evaluations was proposed. The validity of the proposed correction factor was verified using the Fourth …

Progressive failure of slopes in lined waste impoundments
… analyses for evaluation of the stability of slopes in which failure occurs along displacement-softening interfaces. Sliding on such interfaces can occur in a progressive manner with the result that the available interface strengths are reduced below their peak values. The amount of strength …

Bed shear stress under wave runup on steep slopes
… fixed-bed laboratory wave flumes with steep slopes (1:3 and 1:6, respectively). The hydrodynamics of swash flows were found to adhere surprisingly well to principles from classical fluid mechanics, considering they are far from the uniform, steady conditions for which the principles were …

Optimization of Pile Reinforced Slopes Using Finite Element Analyses
… landslides as well as in marginally stable slopes. Many practical empirical design and analysis methods of slope stability and piled-slope stability have been proposed. However, the solutions of analysis and design methods proposed vary due to different analysis methods used and the design …

Wind pressure coefficients for gable roofs of intermediate slopes
… and edge regions of the roofs with intermediate slopes. As a result of the present study, an alternative zoning and loading definition is attempted, accompanied by a set of new curves. At the same time, the codal roof categories are rearranged. The proposed design roof wind pressure coefficients …
