...N. Luo; R. J. Bathurst This paper presents the results of numerical simulations of one physical full-scale unreinforced embankment and two reinforced embankments taken to failure using a strip footing. The embankments were 3.4 m in height and were constructed with the same slope using the same sand...

... of centrally and eccentrically loaded model strip footings resting on reinforced and unreinforced sand were determined under plane strain conditions. Sand was placed in a tank at a relative density of 0.74 to obtain general shear failure. Numerical simulation of the experimental set-up was carried out using...

... and geogrid for a quay-wall, which is referred to simply as an ‘SG-WALL'. The seismic performance of the SG-WALL structure was investigated through a series of shaking-table tests. The test results showed that the SG-WALL structure has a high seismic resistance. A numerical simulation of the shaking-table...
