Abstract

     In this study, to study the interaction of soil and strip in the passive and active zoon, pull out experiments, direct shear test and numerical modeling of finite elements were performed. The expected results of this study saved the strip. Also, using genetic expression programming (GEP), new design criteria for soil stabilization in narrow and conflicting building spaces were extracted to estimate the pull out force.
