Deformation Behavior of Lignosulfonate-Treated Sandy Silt under Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although many traditional soil stabilizers (e.g., lime, cement, gypsum, and fly ash) have been widely and effectively used for ground improvement, they often adversely affect the surrounding soil and groundwater environment. ...
Experimental and Theoretical Investigations on Evolution of Soil-Arching Effect in 2D Trapdoor Problem
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Soil arching effect has been widely recognized as one of the most critical factors governing load-transfer mechanism in the design of various geotechnical infrastructures. However, most existing studies on soil arching ...
An Efficient Dissipative Particle Dynamics Based Algorithm for Simulating Ferromagnetic Colloidal Suspensions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the algorithm, Euler schemethe modified velocityverlet algorithm (ESMVVA) based on dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method, is applied to simulate a twodimensional ferromagnetic colloidal suspension. The ...
Improved Vacuum Preloading Method Combined with Sand Sandwich Structure for Consolidation of Dredged Clay-Slurry Fill and Original Marine Soft Clay
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An improved vacuum preloading method combined with a sand sandwich structure (SSS) was developed to facilitate the consolidation of dredged clay-slurry fill and original soft marine clay for land reclamation. In this method, ...
New Technique for Ground Vibration Mitigation by Horizontally Buried Hollow Pipes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Mitigating the ground vibration initiated by the passage of trains to safeguard the surrounding structures is a challenge for geotechnical engineers. Among various existing methods, open trenches are one of the most common ...
Laboratory Analyses of Noncoaxiality and Anisotropy of Spherical Granular Media under True Triaxial State
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Anisotropy of the soil is responsible for its noncoaxial response. In simple shear and hollow cylindrical torsional shear tests, considerable noncoaxial responses were detected as a result of the stress-induced anisotropy ...
Strength, Durability, Corrosion Resistance, and Microstructure of Cemented Soil Incorporating Nano-MgO under Static and Cyclic Loading: A Laboratory Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Coastal regions often face challenges with the degradation of cementitious foundations that have endured prolonged exposure to corrosive ions and cyclic loading induced by environmental factors, such as typhoons, vehicular ...
Determination of Active Earth Pressure on Rigid Retaining Wall Considering Arching Effect in Cohesive Backfill Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new simplified method is proposed to compute the active earth pressure acting on the backface of a rigid retaining wall undergoing horizontal translation. The effect of soil arching for cohesive backfill soil and friction ...
Estimation of Passive Earth Pressure against Rigid Retaining Wall Considering Arching Effect in Cohesive-Frictional Backfill under Translation Mode
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a novel analytical approach is proposed to calculate the passive earth pressure against a rigid retaining wall subjected to the translation mode. Effects of arching in cohesive backfill soils as well as ...
