Abstract: Up to now, the postconsolidation bearing capacity enhancement of jack-up spudcan foundation has been explored using centrifuge model tests and numerical analyses, which however ignored the realistic jack-up lattice leg. ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a simple effective stress method for modeling the strain rate-dependent strength behavior that is experienced by many fine-grained soils in offshore events when subjected to rapid, large strain, undrained ...

Abstract: In estimating the vertical bearing capacity of spudcan foundation, the effect of the realistic lattice leg extending from the top of the spudcan is often ignored. This paper examines both the lattice leg and sleeve effect ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a framework for describing the modulus degradation behavior of cement-treated soft clay. The results show that effect of the mix ratio on the modulus degradation behavior can be captured through the ...

Abstract: The deep vertical bearing capacity of rectangular foundations of varying aspect ratios (0.2–10) are explored within a coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian (CEL) finite element modeling framework. The CEL model is verified against ...

Abstract: At present, there is no well-accepted method for the design of tunnels built in cement-admixed soils. Moreover, spatial variability and heterogeneity in strength have been reported for such treated soils. This paper presents ...
