RISDiscretization-Based Kinematic Analysis Method to Seismic Stability of Geosynthetic-Reinforced Slopes Involving Differing Earthquake Approaches
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: For soil slopes susceptible to a potential failure, some preemptive measures in the form of reinforced structures are commonly adopted to improve stability. In this study, the seismic stability of a geosynthetic-reinforced ...
Estimation of Strength Development of Cement-Stabilized Clayey Soils with Activity Number, Liquid Limit, and Apparent Void Ratio
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Cement stabilization is a soil improvement technique widely adopted for soft soils. The extent of improvement to the physical properties varies largely with soil type and often requires laborious laboratory tests to ascertain ...
Kinematic Stability of a Two-Stage Slope in Layered Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents a closed-form solution for kinematic stability of a two-stage slope with a strip footing placed near the slope crest of the layered soil strata. According to the upper-bound theorem of plasticity theory, ...
Revisiting Seismic Active/Passive Earth Pressure in Nonuniform Cohesive–Frictional Backfill
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A limit analysis of rigid retaining walls is presented to predict active/passive earth pressures for a flat backfill with a linear Mohr-Coulomb (MC) and nonlinear power-law yield criterion under seismic effect. The ...
Impact of Earthquake Characteristics on Seismic Slope Stability Using Modified Pseudodynamic Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Seismic slope stability analysis is often limited by the ability to encompass specific earthquake characteristics, such as shaking amplitude, frequency, and time as well as varying soil properties, such as cohesion and ...
Discretization-Based Kinematic Approach for Three-Dimensional Stability Analysis of Slurry Trenches in Cohesive–Frictional Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although trench failures observed in the field clearly show three-dimensional (3D) characteristics, the stability analyses of slurry-supported trenches are typically carried out under plane-strain assumptions. The factor ...

Bayesian Network Prediction of Stiffness and Shear Strength of Sand
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposes a Bayesian network approach to predict the shear modulus and maximum friction angle of sand. The nonlinear correlations between sand parameters can be incorporated in the probability distribution ...
Probabilistic Prediction of Consolidation Settlement and Pore Water Pressure Using Variational Autoencoder Neural Network
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper explores the use of a variational autoencoder to predict the embankment settlement and pore water pressure based on monitoring data. A variational autoencoder can learn intrinsic patterns in embankment behavior ...
Horizontal Static Impedances for OWT Monopiles Based on Timoshenko Beam Theory
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Euler beam theory is always used for soil–pile analysis; however, its use is questionable for laterally loaded large-diameter monopiles. In this paper, the solution on the static impedances of monopiles under a combination ...
