Estimating Spatial Variations in Bedrock Depth and Weathering Degree in Decomposed Granite from Surface Waves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In Singapore, sudden changes of bedrock depth and highly variable weathering degrees in residual soils are commonly observed. This study employed the dispersive characteristics of Rayleigh-type surface waves from combined ...
From Direct Simple Shear Test to Soil Model Development and Supported Excavation Simulation: Integrated Computational-Experimental Soil Behavior Characterization Framework
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A constitutive model that represents soil behavior under a wide range of loading conditions is necessary for the simulation of complex boundary value problems. However, most laboratory tests are interpreted with an assumption ...
Stress Dependency of Shear-Wave Velocity Measurements in Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Based on an extensive in situ shear-wave velocity (Vs) database, this study aims to not only examine the stress-dependent characteristics of in situ Vs from a generalized Vs-stress model [Vs=α×(σc′)β], but also provide ...
CSA-Treated Sand for Geotechnical Application: Microstructure Analysis and Rapid Strength Development
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper studies the effectiveness of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA), which has a much lower carbon footprint than conventional ordinary portland cement (OPC), in geotechnical applications which use high water:cement ratios. ...
