RISStatistical to Fuzzy Approach Toward CPT Soil Classification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A soil engineering classification derived from the cone penetration test (CPT) involves the uncertainty of correlation between soil composition and soil mechanical behavior. This uncertainty results in overlaps of different ...
Strain Field Around Cones in Steady Penetration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The strain field during cone penetration is studied. The strain field is obtained by integrating the strain rates induced by the cone in steady penetration of an inviscid, incompressible fluid along paths of particle ...

Spatial Distribution of Excess Pore-Water Pressure due to Piezocone Penetration in Overconsolidated Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of an analysis of the spatial distribution of the excess pore-water pressure induced by piezocone penetration into overconsolidated clays. From the experimental results obtained for moderately ...
FEM Analysis of Elastic Stress Distributions in Embankments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Elastic stress distributions due to self-weight in embankments are analyzed with the finite element method (FEM). The results are compared with available analytical solutions. It is demonstrated that analytical solutions ...
Finite Strain Analysis of Pressuremeter Test
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this work, the plane strain pressuremeter test is examined using a finite strain elasto-plastic analysis. The pressure-meter expansion is analyzed as a finite strain problem using a Lagrangian formulation employing the ...
Finite-Element Analysis of Inclined Piezocone Penetration Test in Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A three-dimensional finite-element analysis was performed to analyze the effect of soil anisotropy on the inclined piezocone penetration test in normally consolidated clay. The piezocone penetration was numerically simulated ...
Research as a Means for Improving Infrastructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Research is a conscious and directed effort to increase understanding and discover new and better ways to achieve goals. Leading economists attribute a major share of the nation's economic growth since World War II to the ...
Quantification and Simulation of Particle Kinematics and Local Strains in Granular Materials Using X-Ray Tomography Imaging and Discrete-Element Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Microfeatures of granular materials have significant effects on their macrobehaviors. Unfortunately, three-dimensional (3D) quantitative measurements of microfeatures are rare in literature because of the limitations of ...
Cone Penetration in Very Weakly Cemented Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cone penetration testing in very weakly cemented sands with unconfined compressive strengths of 60 kPa or less is investigated in a calibration chamber. Monterey 0/30 sand is artificially cemented with 1% and 2% portland ...
