RISEstimation of Shear Wave Velocity and Seismic Site Characterization for New Nuclear Power Plant Region, India
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a new correlation between standard penetration test (SPT) N values and shear wave velocity (Vs) for a newly proposed nuclear power plant (NPP) region at Haryana state, India. The site location falls ...
Caissons in Cohesionless Soils Considering 3D Wedge under Earthquake Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Ultimate soil resistance that acts on a seismically induced caisson foundation and its distribution along the caisson height have been formulated by considering passive wedge failure analysis for both dry and submerged ...
Evaluation of Passive Earth Resistance Using an Improved Limit Equilibrium Method of Slices
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The present study proposes a new approach to solve passive earth pressure problems using the method of slices, coupled with the limit equilibrium (LE) technique. Unlike existing LE studies that adopted failure surfaces of ...
Semianalytical Solution for Buried Pipeline Subjected to Horizontal Transverse Ground Deformation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: For buried pipelines, it is not always possible to avoid active zones where there is a possibility of ground deformation either due to earthquake or topographical reasons, and hence it is necessary to understand the impact ...
Translational Seismic Failure Analysis of MSW Landfills Using Pseudodynamic Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Most of the municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills can fail in different modes such as sliding, rotational, or translational mode under both static and seismic loading conditions. These landfills constructed in the seismic ...
Serviceability-Based Finite-Element Approach on Analyzing Combined Pile–Raft Foundation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The present study proposes a finite-element approach to focus on the load sharing and deformation aspects of combined pile–raft foundation (CPRF) in a serviceability-based framework. Soil nonlinearity was considered by ...
Pseudostatic Approach to Analyze Combined Pile–Raft Foundation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A new simplified approach based on the pseudostatic method of analysis is proposed to investigate the response of a combined pile–raft foundation (CPRF) and a group pile considering the complex interaction. In this method, ...
Three-Dimensional Soil–Foundation–Superstructure Interaction Analysis of Nuclear Building Supported by Combined Piled–Raft System
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Recently, few nuclear facilities have been proposed on soil sites worldwide. Controlling the overall and differential settlement is a difficult task for a nuclear structure that rests on a soil site. Under these circumstances, ...
An Improved Method of Vertical Slices to Determine Seismic Passive Earth Pressure and Its Point of Application
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a new approach for calculating seismic passive earth pressure, its point of application, and the approximate stress-state within the rupture wedge. The method of vertical slices combined with the ...
