... retaining walls. A variety of physical modellings have been performed to evaluate the traditional theories validation as well as investigate the earth pressure distributions on retaining walls under either completely dry or fully saturated conditions (Barros, 2006 ; Benmebarek et al., 2006 ; Cao...

... between the physical model test results and the simulations are discussed trying to identify the cause of the discrepancy when a discrepancy may have been observed and suggest improved procedures for parameter determination. However, in conclusion, the comparison generally shows good agreement...

...Michael O’Neill; Mark Randolph The design of large offshore drag anchors remains relatively primitive, relying on design charts that cover broad categories of soil type, and with no direct link to specific shear strength profiles at a given site. Physical modeling offers one way to improve...

...M. F. Randolph; A. R. House Physical modelling in geotechnical engineering is used extensively, in spite of the high investment costs for experimental facilities and the contrasting decline in computing costs. The paper discusses why physical modelling is still needed, and the manner in which...
