Mitigation of Ground Vibration Generated by High-Speed Trains on Saturated Poroelastic Ground with Under-Sleeper Pads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Train-induced track and ground vibrations accelerate the deterioration of track, cause nuisance to nearby residents, and even damage adjacent structures. Past research has shown that under-sleeper pads (USPs) are effective ...
Closure to “Mitigation of Ground Vibration Generated by High-Speed Trains on Saturated Poroelastic Ground with Under-Sleeper Pads” by Zhigang Cao, Yuanqiang Cai, and Jie Han
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Predicting Postconstruction Settlements Generated by Moving Traffic on Highways Built on Soft Soil in China Using Mechanistic-Empirical Design Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Excessive postconstruction settlement of a highway seriously affects its service performance, a problem that deserves attention urgently. This paper describes an exploratory study on predicting postconstruction settlements ...

Investigation of Suffusion in Soil with Arching Based on CFD–DEM Simulation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The nonuniform stress distribution caused by soil arching can affect suffusion in soil under seepage. To investigate the development of suffusion in soil with arching and the evolution of soil arching during suffusion, ...
Experimental Investigation of the Evolution of Suffusion in Gap-Graded Arched Soils at Different Soil Arching Ratios
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil arching is a common phenomenon existing in the earth structures such as pile-supported embankments and buried pipes. Suffusion would be triggered in these structures during flood events after rainstorms and pipe ...
Closed-Form Analytical Solution for Vibrations from a Tunnel Embedded in a Saturated Poroelastic Half-Space
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Thermal Effects on Shear Characteristics of Unbound Granular Materials under Drained Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, the thermally induced changes in the shear characteristics of unbound granular materials (UGMs) were investigated. A series of drained shear tests were conducted using a large-scale triaxial apparatus under ...
Solution of the Ultimate Bearing Capacity at the Tip of a Pile in Anisotropic Discontinuous Rock Mass Based on the Hoek–Brown Criterion
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An analytical method will be proposed to investigate the bearing mechanism of piles in an anisotropic discontinuous rock mass. Based on the characteristic line method, the discontinuous part of the rock is considered as ...
