Sustainable Ground Improvement Method using Recycled Plastic Pins
(2019-05-14)
Failure of civil engineering infrastructures due to insufficient bearing and shearing capacity of the unsuitable foundation soil is a common problem in the area of North Texas which results in significant maintenance issues ...
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF RECYCLED PLASTIC PINS IN TWO LAYERS TO STABILIZE DEEP SLOPE FAILURES
(2022-12-09)
Slope failures are a common occurrence in highway embankments throughout Texas due to the presence of high plastic clays with expansive behavior. Although shallow slope failures are prevalent, slope failures extending ...
Long Term Performance Monitoring of Shallow Slope Stabilization Utilizing Recycled Plastic Pins
(2019-05-14)
Shallow slope failures are prevalent within the North Texas region. As highway slopes are underlain with high plastic clayey soils that experience cyclic shrinking and swelling, the soils shear strength generally decreases ...
Effect of Modified Moisture Barriers on Slopes Stabilized with Recycled Plastic Pins
(2019-08-09)
High plasticity expansive clayey soils are prone to repeated swelling and shrinkage due to cyclic climatic variations. These variations lead to desiccation cracks that act as pathways for rainfall intrusion into the slope, ...
EFFECTIVENESS OF RECYCLED PLASTIC PIN FOR IMPROVING BEARING CAPACITY OF EMBANKMENT OVER SOFT SOIL
(2021-08-16)
Construction of embankment over soft foundation soils is incredibly a challenging task due to the risk of bearing failure and excessive settlement of foundation soil. Most of the available conventional methods for addressing ...
Driveability of Recycled Plastic Pin (RPP) in North Texas
(2019-12-10)
The Recycled Plastic Pins (RPP) have been extensively used as an alternative to the conventional slope stabilization methods in stabilizing shallows slope failure in Texas, Missouri, Kansas, and Idaho in the United States. ...
PERFORMANCE OF RECYCLED PLASTIC PINS FOR INCREASING BEARING CAPACITY OF FOUNDATION SOIL
(2021-08-10)
Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls constructed on unsuitable foundation soil are prone to large deformation and bearing capacity failure. A variety of techniques can be applied to address this issue, such as removal ...
