This thesis aimed to understand how Tensar’s current design methods work, in relation to the calculation of working platforms. Thereafter, a full breakdown of each design method’s limitations was addressed, with this thesis focusing on the problem of stratification, in the T-value method. This limitation …

There are a lot of problems associated with clayey soil. More geotechnical pathologies appeared as more developed project brighten up. The geotechnical engineers encounter problems with modelling the stiff clayey soil behaviour especially while using the classical methods for obtaining the input parameters …
