.... The monitoring results were presented, and long-term performance predictions were evaluated. Numerical modeling effort was utilized to model the both short- and long-term behavior of geofoam embankments. Time-dependent behavior of the embankments under service loads was compared with numerical simulations...

.... There is a paucity of studies on structure behavior under cyclic loading. In the study, three-dimensional numerical modeling using the finite element method (FEM) was performed with the objective of better understanding the cyclic behavior of GRPS embankments in terms of load transfer mechanisms and settlements...

... in bearing the applied load without transferring it to the utilities below. The improvement in system performance was most pronounced when higher geofoam density, thicker EPS beams, geogrid reinforcement and increased soil cover were used. Three-dimensional finite element (FE) numerical models were developed...

...-dependent behavior Numerical modeling Geosynthetic reinforcement is commonly used as a basal reinforcement to improve the stability and performance and to minimize excessive deformation of embankments on very soft foundations (Jewell 1987 ; Rowe and Li 1999, 2002 ; Bergado et al. 2002...

...K. Fakharian; I. H.

Axisymmetric numerical modeling provides an alternative approach for determining the vertical stresses that develop in the embankment and act on the geosynthetic reinforcement. In this research, axisymmetric numerical modeling is verified against: (1...
