RISNear-Field and Far-Field Ground-Borne Vibration Mitigation Using Bamboo-Filled Wave Barriers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ground-borne vibrations generated by various man-made activities pose a perennial threat to nearby buildings, impacting their serviceability and causing annoyance to residents. This study addresses the pressing demand for ...
Large-Scale Experimental and Numerical Studies on the Dynamic Interaction of Closely Spaced Machine Foundations on Geogrid-Reinforced Soil Beds
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current study encompasses experimental and numerical investigations on the response of closely placed machine foundations resting on unreinforced and geogrid-reinforced soil beds. Large-scale field block vibration tests ...
Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Two Interfering Rough Strip Footings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The ultimate bearing capacity of two interfering strip footings was determined by using the method of stress characteristics. The analysis was performed by choosing two different possible failure mechanisms. The variation ...
Vertical Uplift Capacity of Two Nearby Horizontal Strip Anchors Using the Method of Stress Characteristics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The present study addresses the effect of interference on the uplift capacity of two closely spaced horizontal strip anchors embedded in cohesionless soil. The analysis has been performed using the method of stress ...
Seismic Stability of a Broken-Back Retaining Wall Using Adaptive Collapse Mechanism
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, the pertinence of a broken-back retaining wall with bilinear backface in mitigating the effect of earthquake is demonstrated using the method of stress characteristics coupled with the pseudodynamic approach. ...
Determination of Viscoelastic Properties of Soil and Prediction of Static and Dynamic Response
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper employs a general and direct method to determine the time-dependent stress–strain behavior of soil using a Prony series parameter fitting. The rheological stress–strain data obtained from the relaxation test of ...
Determination of Critical Slope Face in <i>c</i>–<i>ϕ</i> Soil under Seismic Condition Using Method of Stress Characteristics
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study proposes a plasticity-based approach to ensure the static and seismic stability of a finite soil slope supporting a uniformly distributed surcharge on the horizontal top surface. Most of the available investigations ...
Evolution of Limiting Slope Face in Rock Mass Using the Stress Characteristics Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The limiting stability of finite rock slopes is assessed in this paper by implementing the stress characteristics method (SCM) alongside the generalized Hoek‒Brown (GHB) yield criterion. By employing the SCM, a set of ...
Curvilinear Slope Profile–Based Seismic Stability for Rock Slopes Using Stress Characteristics Method and Generalized Hoek–Brown Criterion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper introduces a novel approach to analyze the seismic stability of rock slopes using the stress characteristics method (SCM). Based on a prescribed factor of safety (FS), the slope profile (SP) is forthrightly ...
