Menthol as a Cementing Agent for Superficial Undisturbed Sands: Applicability and Soil Structure Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: At present, there is a lack of good sampling technology and methods for sandy gravel soil. The sampling quality of sandy gravel soil directly affects the accuracy of important parameters such as soil shear strength, ...
Investigations of the Effect of Artificial Rainfall on the Pore Water Pressure and Slope Surface Displacement of Loess Slopes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Understanding the rainfall-triggering mechanisms influencing loess landslides and developing targeted prevention and control strategies are critical challenges in engineering. This study focused on a representative ...
Thermomechanical Analysis of Fiber–Bentonite-Based Mixtures as Buffer Material in an Engineered Nuclear Barrier
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Buffer/backfill material is an important part of engineered barriers in deep geological repositories of high-level radioactive waste (HLRW). A good buffer material not only possesses good heat conductivity, expansion, and ...
Capacity Change of Piles in Loess under Cyclic Axial Tension or Compression Load
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study examines the capacity of single piles subjected to cyclic axial tension or compression load in the loess area under in situ compaction degree and extruding conditions. Four cyclic tension and compression loading ...
Improved Analytical Method for Stabilizing Piles in Loess Slope Considering Nonlinear Pile–Soil Interactions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In loess slopes, landslides are easily caused by rainfall and can be prevented by using retaining structures of stabilizing piles. This paper investigated the deformation and mechanical behaviors of the cantilever and fully ...
Compressive Deformation Characteristics of Sintered Loess after Being Saturated with Water
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Addressing the challenges of wet and soft loess foundations is crucial in geotechnical engineering due to their inherent low strength and high compressibility. High-temperature sintering technology is a leading method for ...
Prediction for Rock Conditions in a Tunnel Area Using Advanced Geological Drilling Predictions Based on Multiwavelet Analysis and Modified Evidence Reasoning
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Advanced geological prediction plays an essential role in disaster prevention and safety guarantee. In this paper, by combining multiwavelet analysis with modified evidence reasoning, a new geological prediction method for ...
Refined Bird Model Considering Soft and Skeletal Tissues for Bird Impact Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To more accurately characterize the load characteristics of birds under the impact of aviation structures, this study conducted computed tomography scanning of a 1-kg chicken and proposed a geometric model of the bird, ...
Lateral-Torsional Buckling of Shear Deformable Monosymmetric Steel I-Section Arches with Elastic Rotational-End Restraints under a Central Concentrated Load
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigates the elastic lateral-torsional buckling of shear deformable circular arches of monosymmetric steel I-section with in-plane elastic rotational end constraints under a central concentrated radial load. ...
