A Conceptual Geogrid–Soil Interaction Framework for GRS Integral Abutments under Cyclic Deck Movements

Geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) integral bridge abutments are subjected to cyclic horizontal displacements induced by seasonal thermal expansion/contraction of bridge decks, resulting in progressive settlement and lateral earth pressure development. While previous studies have...

Analytical formulation of overturning moments in retaining walls under two-phase arching

Soil arching plays a critical role in governing stress redistribution and stability of rigid retaining walls, yet its influence on overturning moment is commonly evaluated considering only the active phase of wall movement. This study presents an analytical formulation for estima...
