Investigation of the Shear Strength of Unsaturated Soils over a Wide Suction Range
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Unsaturated shear strength (τus) is a critical parameter in many geotechnical engineering designs, including embankment stability assessments and slope antiskid design. This paper investigates the hydromechanical behavior ...
Influence of Suction History on Hydraulic and Stress-Strain Behavior of Unsaturated Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental study was performed to investigate the effects of suction history on the hydraulic and stress-strain behavior of unsaturated soils. Test results show that, even if the same path of net stress and suction ...
Traffic Interactions between Motorized Vehicles and Nonmotorized Vehicles near a Bus Stop
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper studies traffic features in a mixed traffic flow composed of motorized vehicles and nonmotorized vehicles near a bus stop within a completely different framework. Our work has taken the nonlane based behaviors ...
Cellular Automaton Modeling of the Interaction between Vehicles and Pedestrians at Signalized Crosswalk
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Characteristics of mixed traffic on a road with a signalized crosswalk are investigated by cellular automaton modeling. The interaction mechanism between vehicles and pedestrians is taken into account. Also, the inordinate ...
Predicting Shear Strength of Unsaturated Soils over Wide Suction Range
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Unsaturated soils over a wide suction range are widespread in nature. The shear strength of unsaturated soils is a fundamental property in various geotechnical designs. In this paper, a systematic study was conducted to ...
