A Testing Method for Measurement of Permeability Coefficient and Soil–Water Characteristic Curve of Unsaturated Soil Based on the Axis Translation Technique
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The permeability coefficient of unsaturated soil and the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) plays a significant role in the theory of unsaturated soil mechanics. The pressure plate can quickly obtain the SWCC. Still, ...
Physical Model Test Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Double Pipe Culverts Subjected to Vertical Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The performance of double-pipe culverts remains unclear due to insufficient research on double culverts. This study made use of polyvinyl chloride pipe to simulate culverts. The effect of culvert spacing and fill height ...
Rainfall Infiltration Test and Numerical Simulation Analysis of a Large Unsaturated Soil Slope
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rainfall infiltration is the primary factor affecting slope stability, which may lead to geological hazards such as landslides, collapses, and debris flows. Thus, it is crucial to investigate the rainfall infiltration ...
Fractal Shear Strength Model for Unsaturated Soils Considering the Combined Effects of Matric Suction and Surface Tension
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Existing shear strength models for unsaturated soils have paid limited attention to the effect of surface tension. Recent research has demonstrated that this effect cannot be disregarded. This paper examines the influence ...
Behavior of Tire-Geogrid–Reinforced Retaining Wall System under Dynamic Vehicle Load
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The surge in the number of cars has generated enormous numbers of waste tires in recent years. How to utilize the waste tires in engineering construction in an environmentally friendly way is a problem that China and many ...
