General Axisymmetric Active Earth Pressure by Method of Characteristics—Theory and Numerical Formulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Active pressure for axisymmetric problem under general conditions is formulated and solved by an iterative finite difference solution of the characteristic equations in the present paper. A general lateral stress coefficient ...
Determination of the Critical Slip Surface Using Artificial Fish Swarms Algorithm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The writers have come across a difficult stability analysis problem where there are several “strong” local minima. Several well known heuristic global minimum methods fail to locate the global minimum for this case, and ...
New Soil Nail Material—Pilot Study of Grouted GFRP Pipe Nails in Korea and Hong Kong
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current method of steel bar soil nail construction is both labor intensive as well as expensive and many engineers are considering the use of new soil nail materials. In the present pilot test, an innovative soil nail ...
