ASCE ( American Society of Civil Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 150,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment.

Group Interaction Effects on Laterally Loaded Piles in Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of static lateral load tests carried out on
Effect of Microfabric on Undrained Static and Cyclic Behavior of Kaolin Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Microfabric plays an important role in the engineering behavior of soils. Although many studies are available in the literature on the effect of microfabric on the static behavior of soils, the effect on the cyclic behavior ...
Closure to “Effect of Microfabric on Undrained Static and Cyclic Behavior of Kaolin Clay” by Rakesh J. Pillai, R. G. Robinson, and A. Boominathan
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Static and Large-Strain Dynamic Properties of Sand–Rubber Tire Shred Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of experimental investigations on sand–rubber tire shred mixtures. The sand and rubber tire shreds considered were of uniform fine size (<2 mm). Static and dynamic characterization was ...
Finite-Element Studies on Factors Influencing the Response of Underground Tunnels Subjected to Internal Explosion
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The role of underground metro tunnels in a modern urban society is indispensable. Nowadays, these populous metro tunnel networks are becoming a prime target for terror strikes around the world. Considering these terror ...
Cyclic Simple Shear Response of Sand–Rubber Tire Chip Mixtures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The dynamic properties of mixtures of poorly graded sand and the fine rubber tire chips are assessed under undrained, strain-controlled cyclic simple shear (CSS) conditions. In this study, CSS equipment with a confining ...
Numerical Study of Liquefaction-Induced Uplift of Underground Structure
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A finite-difference modeling was performed to investigate the liquefaction-induced uplift of an underground structure. The liquefaction-induced uplift of a 5 m diameter underground structure buried at a depth of ...
Performance of Geo-Base Isolation System with Geogrid Reinforcement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To mitigate earthquake-related damage to buildings, a simple alternative method to conventional base isolation techniques is to provide a geo-base isolation (GBI) system, composed of a scrap tire–sand mixture, between the ...
Investigation of Geotechnical Seismic Isolation Bed in Horizontal Vibration Mitigation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Recently, a ground-borne vibration mitigation solution using rigid wave impeding blocks embedded in the foundation bed of buildings/embankments has emerged as a passive vibration isolation mechanism, wherein energy dissipation ...
