RISEffect of Eccentric Load on the Undrained Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings above Voids
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study employed finite element limit analysis (FELA) to investigate the influence of eccentric loads on the bearing capacity of footings above single and double continuous voids. Upper bound theorem (UB), lower bound ...
Vertical Load Transfer for Bored Piles Buried in Cohesive Intermediate Geomaterials
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In developing a vertical load transfer function for bored piles buried in cohesive intermediate geomaterials (IGM), it is essential to understand the shear behavior of the rough sidewall. The interface between the cohesive ...
Behaviors of a Laterally Loaded Pile Located in a Mountainside
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, the performance of a laterally loaded single pile located in a mountainside was predicted by a modified strain wedge (SW) technique and, in particular, the emphasis is on quantifying pile–soil interactions ...
Seismic Stability of the Slope Containing a Laterally Loaded Pile by Finite-Element Limit Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, the seismic stability of a slope containing a laterally loaded pile under seismic conditions is evaluated by the finite-element limit analysis (FELA) approach. The seismic action is idealized as a horizontal ...
A Limit Solution for Predicting Side Resistance on Rock-Socketed Piles
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The mobilization of side resistance of rock-socketed pile strongly depends on the shear behavior of the pile-rock interface. In this study, an asperity-based model was developed to investigate essential responses of interface ...

Quantitative Analysis of Human-Water Relationships and Harmony-Based Regulation in the Tarim River Basin
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In recent decades, the Tarim River basin in northwestern China has seen intense confrontation between economic development and environmental protection. How to balance sustainable socioeconomic development and harmony ...
Simplified Model of Column-Supported Embankment to Account for Nonuniform Deformations of Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposes a theoretical method to analyze the column-supported embankment. The emphasis is on quantifying the nonuniform deformation of the soft soil beneath the embankment by two deformed shape functions, and ...
Undrained Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings Placed Adjacent to Two-Layered Slopes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study used adaptive finite-element limit analysis (AFELA) to calculate the undrained bearing capacity of strip footings placed adjacent to two-layered slopes. Both the upper bound (UB) and the lower bound (LB) of the ...
Stability Analysis of a Layered Slope with Failure Mechanism of a Composite Slip Surface
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A great significance should be given to layered slope stability, because the actual slope is often heterogeneous with a composition of multilayer soils due to natural formation and artificial filling. Previous research has ...
