Abstract: This paper presents a simple method to estimate the directional dependency of granular soil strength using a modified shear box and a special specimen preparation procedure. This method is used to investigate the strength ...

Abstract: This paper studies pipe–soil interaction for pipelines subjected to combined horizontal and vertical (upward) movements in the oblique direction. An associative, hardening elasto–plasticity model is proposed in the ...

Abstract: Based on the theory of three-dimensional wave propagation, this paper proposed a method to evaluate the amplified seismic responses of two adjacent structures in horizontally stratified ground owing to seismic structure– ...

Abstract: The effectiveness of chopped carbon fibers to enhance the thermal conductivity of bentonite-based grout was examined. Fibers of 3 mm and 150 μm in length were added to sodium bentonite and silica sand mixtures at different ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical method to analyze the effect of the variation in the groundwater table on train-induced vibrations from subway tunnels. The soil above the groundwater table is considered as a dry single-phase ...

Abstract: An analytical model is presented in this paper to predict the three-dimensional dynamic response of a circular tunnel in an elastic multilayered half-space. By applying the transfer matrix method and wave transformation, ...

Abstract: The vibration prediction of a vehicle-track-tunnel-soil dynamic system is quite meaningful in engineering practice. However, the complexity involved in modeling the underground environment makes most previous studies ignore ...
