Seismic Analysis of the Zipingpu Concrete-Faced Rockfill Dam Response to the 2008 Wenchuan, China, Earthquake
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the findings from both the detailed site investigations and the computational analyses on the Zipingpu concrete-faced rockfill dam (CFRD), a 156-m high dam in which 100-cm permanent settlement and 60-cm ...
Strength and Dilatancy Behaviors of Dense Modeled Rockfill Material in General Stress Space
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The strength and dilatancy behaviors of modeled dense rockfill material were systematically investigated through a series of true triaxial compression tests at different minor principal stress and intermediate principal ...
Wave Propagation in a Pipe Pile for Low-Strain Integrity Testing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an analytical solution methodology for a tubular structure subjected to a transient point loading in low-strain integrity testing. The three-dimensional effects on the pile head and the applicability ...
Influence of Particle Breakage on Critical State Line of Rockfill Material
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The influences of particle breakage on the position of the critical state line (CSL) were systematically investigated in this paper through a series of large-scale triaxial compression tests on Tacheng rockfill material ...
Cyclic Response of Loose Anisotropically Consolidated Calcareous Sand under Progressive Wave–Induced Elliptical Stress Paths
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Observations of the performance of coastal and marine structures in weather events that produce standing and/or progressive waves have pointed to liquefaction of the seabed as a contributing cause of damage. The cyclic ...
