Abstract: This paper investigates the limiting force profile (LFP) for laterally loaded piles embedded in undrained clay. Based on the three- and two-dimensional finite-element limit analysis (FELA), the failure mechanisms and methods ...

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: Drained torsional shear tests were performed on hollow cylindrical intact soft clay specimens to investigate the anisotropic deformation, strength, and noncoaxial behavior in general stress states involving variations in ...

Abstract: As a typical form of internal erosion, suffusion refers to the detachment and migration of fine particles through voids among coarse particles driven by seepage flow. This paper studies the suffusion-induced evolution of ...

Abstract: The constant shear drained (CSD) test is considered an appropriate test to simulate the instability behavior of soils in slopes under water infiltration conditions or lateral stress relief. However, contradiction of the ...
