Freeze–Thaw Impact on Sandy Clay in Artificial Frozen Walls: An Investigation of Shear Strength and Pore-Size Distribution
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Artificial ground freezing construction is an effective and widely adopted method for reinforcement in constructing subway tunnels. Regarding sandy clay in artificial frozen walls, changes in its microstructure can affect ...
Mechanical Response of Granite Residual Soil Subjected to Impact Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: When constructing subway tunnels, blasting is commonly used to deal with granite boulders in weathered granite formations. It is, therefore, crucial to evaluate how the blasting-induced impact loading affects surrounding ...
Viscous Behavior and Constitutive Modeling of Peaty Soil in Kunming, China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The Kunming peaty soil exhibits distinct physical and mechanical properties from the inorganic clay due to the special soil-forming process and material composition. To better understand the viscous behavior of peaty soil, ...
Dynamic Evolution of Cracks in Slag-Modified Soil under Uniaxial Loading Using Real-Time X-Ray Computed Tomography
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The cracking behavior of subgrade filling is crucial for the stability of road embankments. Slag-modified soil (SMS), which is commonly used as a reinforcing material for construction in highway and railway engineering, ...
Shear Strength Anisotropy of Natural Granite Residual Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A significant feature of residual soil is the presence of a cemented structure and fissures that dominate its anisotropic behavior. Although the anisotropy of some sedimentary soils is well understood, that of residual ...
Time Dependence of Neutral Plane Position in a PHC-Supported Soft Subgrade
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This case study focuses on an International Circuit project in China where unmanned automobiles are to be tested in the future. The subgrade undergoes extensive settlement because of the widely distributed lacustrine ...
Dynamic Evolution of Desiccation Cracks and Their Relationship with the Hydraulic Properties of Expansive Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The desiccation cracking of expansive soil plays a crucial role in the structural integrity and long-term stability of infrastructure foundations. While the occurrence of surface cracks and shrinkage deformation in expansive ...
A General Method for Quantifying the Shear Strength Anisotropy of Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although extensive investigations have been performed on soil anisotropy, little information is available regarding its quantification. The quantification of anisotropy reflects the extent to which the inherent anisotropy ...
Advanced Nondestructive Monitoring and Detection Apparatus against Marine Concrete Durability: A Review
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Monitoring and evaluating the durability performance of concrete is crucial for predicting its remaining service life. This paper comprehensively discusses various types of monitoring and evaluation equipment used to assess ...
