To determine the influence of soil-structure interface behavior on the bearing capacity and deformations of geotechnical structures, suitable testing methods capable of simulating in situ conditions are required. This article introduces a novel test method for soil-structure interface tests. A hollow cylinder triaxial device is modified to conduct inter...
View ArticleSlope failures due to erosion effect are a well-established cause of civil engineering structure disasters. Streams passing at the toe of a slope are a severe threat to geotechnical safety, especially in urbanized areas. To increase global safety, a retaining wall is usually proposed to limit the risk of failure. However, such works could also bring the...
View ArticleReliability and safety assessments require optimizing decision-making throughout the lifecycle of systems such as the “soil mass – underground structure” system. Changes in the engineering-geological environment cause various geohazards that must be identified and evaluated during the project development stage, taking into ...
