Buried Flexible Pipes Behaviour In Unreinforced And Reinforced Soils Under Cyclic Loading
In this research, large-scale fully instrumented laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the behaviour of flexible high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes, in unreinforced and geogrid-reinforced sand, subjected to incrementally increasing cyclic loading; for example, due to different vehicle capacities or load increase with passing time. Results illustrated that the deformation rate in the pipe and footing, the strain generation […]
