Clayey soil in its natural state usually has a low bearing capacity, high compressibility, and high sensitivity to changes in water content. These properties represent an obstacle to the use of this type of soil in construction industry projects, so it is necessary to stabilize it before its application for construction purposes. This paper presents the results ...

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...

Slope 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...

Reliability 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 ...
