Comparative analyses and discussions are performed under floating and end-bearing conditions to investigate the influence of floating piles on the soil arching evolution and membrane effect under cyclic loading. The results indicate that floating...

A series of unconfined compression tests under monotonic and cyclic loading were conducted to investigate the static bearing capacity...

...F. B. Ferreira; C. S. Vieira; M. L. Lopes; P. G. Ferreira The understanding of soil-geosynthetic interaction under cyclic loading conditions is essential for the safe design of geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures subjected to repeated loads, such as those induced by road and railway traffic...

... reinforced with geosynthetics. Cyclic loads experienced by geosynthetics in reinforced roadways produce both creep and stress relaxation. Current test standards use a load form corresponding to cyclic stress relaxation. This test standard does not address whether a simpler load form involving non-cyclic...

.... 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...

A one-third scale Model Mobile Load Simulator (MMLS3) was used to simulate cyclic loading on a scaled rigid highway pavement that has experienced some loss of load transfer. The results from four tests...

When no geotextile layer is used, softening of the subgrade soil occurs both outside the subbase particle-subgrade areas of contact due to swelling, and under the subbase particle-subgrade areas of contact due to cyclic loading. This softening causes the penetration of the subbase particles...
