.... 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...

... Geosynthetic-reinforced soil Field instrumentation Numerical modeling Well-documented case studies have proven that geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) bridge abutments (BAs) perform well under static and dynamic loading, despite their simple and low-cost structure (Abu-Hejleh et al. 2002...

... the field and numerical initial pore water pressure, numerical simulations of infiltration and stability analyses were conducted considering the unsaturated soil strength. Results showed that water infiltration in the field occurred faster than in the numerical modeling with hydraulic parameters determined...

.... 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...

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...

... the shear strength progressively from the top to the bottom. Therefore the use of the residual friction angle as the friction angle of the interface element in the numerical model is expected to give a conservative result for the 2.46 m-circumference dam, but produces a comparable result for the 2.31 m...
