RISCPT-Based Evaluation of Liquefaction Potential Accounting for Soil Spatial Variability at Multiple Scales
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Understanding and assessing the spatial extent of liquefaction requires that the spatial dependence of soil properties to be taken into account. In this work, a cone penetration test (CPT)-based approach for the evaluation ...
Prediction of Fatigue Life of Rubberized Asphalt Concrete Mixtures Containing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Using Artificial Neural Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Accurate prediction of the fatigue life of asphalt mixtures is a difficult task due to the complex nature of materials behavior under various loading and environmental conditions. This study explores the utilization of an ...
Rutting Resistance of Rubberized Asphalt Concrete Pavements Containing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Improved understanding of rutting resistance of a rubberized asphalt concrete pavement that contains reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is important to stimulating the use of rubberized asphalt mixtures. Use of RAP in the ...
Assessing Initial Stiffness Models for Laterally Loaded Piles in Undrained Clay: Robust Design Perspective
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The hyperbolic p−y curve method is commonly used to design laterally loaded piles. The initial stiffness (K) and the ultimate resistance per pile length (pu) are the two key parameters that are required to determine the ...
Simplified Approach for Reliability-Based Design against Basal-Heave Failure in Braced Excavations Considering Spatial Effect
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a simplified approach for reliability analysis of basal heave in a braced excavation considering the spatial variability of soil parameters, The first-order reliability method (FORM) with a variance ...
Bayesian Updating of Soil Parameters for Braced Excavations Using Field Observations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A Bayesian framework using field observations for back-analysis and updating of soil parameters in a multistage braced excavation is presented. Because of the uncertainties originating from the poorly known soil parameters, ...

New Sampling Method and Procedures for Estimating Failure Probability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new sampling method on the basis of a distance index and spherical subset simulation is proposed in this paper, with which the samples of uncertain variables are equally generated in the possible domain of uncertain ...
Model Uncertainty in Normalized Shear Modulus and Damping Relationships
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Model uncertainty associated with normalized shear modulus and material damping ratio relationships developed in a previous study is discussed in terms of standard deviations in this paper. The relationships were originally ...
Normalized Shear Modulus and Material Damping Ratio Relationships
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Predictive equations for estimating normalized shear modulus and material damping ratio of Quaternary, Tertiary and older, and residual/saprolite soils are presented in this paper. The equations are based on a modified ...
