RISDiscussion of “Probabilistic Analysis of Coupled Soil Consolidation” by Jinsong Huang, D. V. Griffiths, and Gordon A. Fenton
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Elastic Dynamic Young’s Modulus and Poisson’s Ratio of Sand–Silt Mixtures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The significant influence of silica nonplastic fines content on the small-strain Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of silty sands has been evaluated through a comprehensive set of resonant column tests in the flexural ...
Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings Adjacent to Anisotropic Slopes Using the Lower Bound Finite Element Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Overlooking the anisotropic behavior of soil with directional shear strength parameters can lead to unrealistic estimation of the actual limit load. This research is focused on the effect of the shear strength anisotropy ...
Seismic Bearing Capacity of Geosynthetic Reinforced Strip Footings Using Upper Bound Limit Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, upper bound limit analysis that includes a horizontal pseudostatic seismic force is used for the first time to obtain the limit load on strip footings seated on cohesive-frictional soils reinforced with a ...
Noncircular Deterministic and Stochastic Slope Stability Analyses and Design of Simple Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Slopes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the behavior of simple soil slopes reinforced with geosynthetics using deterministic and stochastic as well as circular and noncircular limit equilibrium method (LEM) of slope stability ...
Lower-Bound Seismic Bearing Capacity of a Strip Footing Adjacent to an Existing Footing on Sand
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The ideal notion of footings placed in isolation is rarely implemented in practice and footings are often placed adjacent to each other, interfering with one another's performance. In this paper, the lower-bound finite-element ...
Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings Seated on Unreinforced and Geosynthetic-Reinforced Granular Layers over Spatially Variable Soft Clay Deposits
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the literature, the influence of spatial variability of the undrained shear strength of foundation soils on the bearing capacity of footings is limited to footings seated directly on the foundation. This is an unlikely ...
Nondestructive Shear Stiffness Evaluation of EPS-Sand Composites Using Quartz and Calcareous Aggregates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The influence of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads inclusion on the shear stiffness of a quartz-based material and a calcareous-based material has been examined by performing a comprehensive series of non-destructive bender ...
Investigation of Water-Retention Characteristics of Alkali-Activated Clay-Fly Ash Using Small Geotechnical Centrifuge
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In chemically treated soils, producing binding gels changes the soil structure and pore-size distribution, consequently affecting the treated soil-water-retention characteristics. Alkali-activated materials have recently ...
Limit Analysis of Modified Pseudodynamic Lateral Earth Pressure in Anisotropic Frictional Medium Using Finite-Element and Second-Order Cone Programming
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper aims at analyzing the active and passive lateral earth pressures exerted on retaining walls due to the anisotropic medium of dry and noncohesive backfill subjected to the modified pseudodynamic earthquake loading. ...
