...S. Xiao; H. Shi; T. Dai; G. He The confining effect of geosynthetics renders stability analysis of embankments on geosynthetic-encased stone columns (GESCs) distinct from conventional columns. A simplified method addressing this issue is practically important. This study proposes such a method...

...H. Liu; Q. Luo; M. H. El Naggar; K. Liu; T. Wang Field observations and centrifuge tests indicate that progressive column bending failure accompanies most instabilities of rigid-column-supported and geosynthetic-reinforced (RCGR) embankments. However, recognized guidelines specifically...

...D. T. Bergado; T. Nghia-Nguyen; P. Jamsawang; N. Kovittayanon; J. Rementilla; K. C. Chao The influence of the initial improvement through prefabricated vertical drains (PVD) and surcharge embankment on the second improvement by vacuum PVD has not been comprehensively explored in the existing...

...W. Guo; X. Wang; C. He; L. Jiang; Y. Long; Z. Guo; Q. Yan; L. Zhao; Y. Lin The seismic performance of embankments is an important consideration for the design and construction of high-speed railways (HSRs) in near-fault areas. Incorporating geosynthetics into embankment soil can improve seismic...

...E. M. B. De Guzman; M. C. Alfaro; L. U. Arenson; G. Doré An embankment underlain by permafrost foundation was reinforced with wicking woven geotextiles at its side slopes to reduce slope displacements when the fill material that was compacted at frozen condition thaws during subsequent spring...
