Assessing the Potential of Internal Erosion and Suffusion of Granular Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents a new empirical criterion for assessing the potential of internal erosion and suffusion of granular soils. This method considers the bimodal structure of a soil having a primary coarse fabric and loose ...
Laboratory and Finite-Element Investigation of Soil Disturbance Associated with the Installation of Mandrel-Driven Prefabricated Vertical Drains
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A series of large-scale laboratory experiments, along with numerical analyses, using the commercial finite-element software package, ABAQUS, were performed to investigate the installation of mandrel-driven prefabricated ...
Micromechanics-Based Investigation of Fouled Ballast Using Large-Scale Triaxial Tests and Discrete Element Modeling

Simulation Ballasted Track Behavior: Numerical Treatment and Field Application
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Experimental Investigation on Effectiveness of a Vertical Drain under Cyclic Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study examines the effectiveness of a prefabricated vertical drain (PVD) installed in reconstituted soft clay, where a large cyclic triaxial device was used to simulate repeated loading representing a rail track ...

Modeling the Performance of Stone Column–Reinforced Soft Ground under Static and Cyclic Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Installing stone columns is a convenient method of soft ground improvement. Although several analytical and numerical solutions are available to predict the performance of stone column–improved soft ground, these models ...
Geometrical Method for Evaluating the Internal Instability of Granular Filters Based on Constriction Size Distribution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Internal instability occurs when the finer fraction from a well-graded granular soil escapes with the infiltrates, rendering a filter ineffective. Thus far, numerous particle size as well as constriction size distribution–based ...
