Data Analysis of the Effect of Different Nanomaterials on Antislide Pile Performance in Railway Landslides by Kai Guo, Mingxin Zheng, Yongjiang Ren

“…The large deformation of soil in front of the pile will easily cause the phenomenon of soil sliding and peeling, which will increase the technical difficulty of antislide pile construction. Based on this, this study firstly briefly introduces the relevant theories and technologies of railway landslide antislide pile technology and then establishes the static model of railway landslide antislide piles with different nanomaterials. …”
