Implicit Algorithm for Modeling Unsaturated Soil Response in Three-Invariant Stress Space
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An implicit integration algorithm has been refined to predict the stress–strain–strength response of unsaturated soil under suction-controlled, multiaxial stress paths that are not achievable in a conventional cylindrical ...
Liquefaction Assessment in Unsaturated Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Liquefaction in soils has predominantly been associated with saturated soils. Under seismic activity, unsaturated soils are may also be susceptible to liquefaction. The implications of neglecting unsaturated soils that are ...
Modeling Essential Elastoplastic Features of Compacted Silty Sand via Suction-Controlled Triaxial Testing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experimental results from a comprehensive series of suction-controlled, consolidated drained (CD) triaxial tests, conducted on statically compacted specimens of unsaturated silty sand, are presented. The experimental program ...
Diffused Double-Layer Swell Prediction Model to Better Characterize Natural Expansive Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Evaluation of Swell Behavior of Expansive Clays from Internal Specific Surface and Pore Size Distribution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The interdependency of microsoil fabric-related properties and swell/shrink behavior of expansive soils needs to be identified to achieve a more thorough and accurate prediction of heave of expansive soils. In a recent ...
Resilient Moduli Response of Moderately Cement-Treated Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Aggregates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) aggregate materials in road construction reduces natural resource depletion and promotes the recycling of RAP materials for other applications. However, product variability and ...
Characterization of Cement-Fiber-Treated Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Aggregates: Preliminary Investigation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) materials in road construction has been proven to reduce both the amount of construction debris disposed of in urban landfills and the rate of depletion of natural resources. ...
Evaluation of Swell Behavior of Expansive Clays from Internal Specific Surface and Pore Size Distribution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The interdependency of microsoil fabric-related properties and swell/shrink behavior of expansive soils needs to be identified to achieve a more thorough and accurate prediction of heave of expansive soils. In a recent ...
Influence of In Situ Factors on Dynamic Response of Piedmont Residual Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Special Issue on Experimental and Computational Geomechanics for Unsaturated Soils
