Abstract: The at-rest lateral stress coefficient (

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 ...

Abstract: A hyperbolic model-based normalized shear modulus reduction (G/Gmax) formulation for cement treated clay is presented. This three-parameter normalized shear modulus reduction model can be constructed using maximum shear ...

Abstract: Compacted cement-stabilized soils are important geomaterials for construction projects involving backfilling, embankment construction, and ground improvement. In general, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) serves as an ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: A common source of error in bender element testing lies in the determination of the shear wave arrival time arising from the near-field effect, which is attributed to shear wave–like motion of the compression wave obscuring ...
