...-dimensional numerical model. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the key factors affecting the GMB composite liner performance are the utilization of a GCL and/or a CCL, the CCL hydraulic conductivity when used, the AL thickness, and the aquifer potentiometric head. Most results show poor performance...

... reinforced soil Mini-pier Deformation Service load Numerical model The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has developed a large-scale test method to measure the deformation behavior of geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) composite structures, called the GRS mini-pier loading test (Adams et...

... models. The development of numerical models for simulating shaking-table tests on wrap-faced, reinforced soil-retaining walls, and their application in investigating the seismic response of physical wall models, are presented. Numerical models of the wrap-faced reinforced-soil walls are simulated using...

...H. Abuel-Naga; A. Bouazza; J. Bowders; O. Collazos The aim of this study is to investigate numerically the performance of a prefabricated vertical drain (PVD) as a soil vapour extraction well, and the pattern of the induced air flow. A validated numerical model for a single PVD extraction well...

.... the interface, the GCL and the underlying soil liner, which is a CCL, are partially saturated in the numerical modelling performed. The first aim of the paper is to evaluate the impact of this partial saturation on the flow rates and the lateral extension of the wetted area for circular defects and defects...
