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.

Rate Sensitivity of Asphalt Concrete in Triaxial Compression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There is ample evidence based on uniaxial (unconfined) compression that asphalt concrete exhibits behavior that depends on the loading or straining rate. This paper describes the results of an experimental program aimed ...
Constitutive Model for Static Liquefaction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A general, three-dimensional formulation of the elastoplastic refined Superior sand constitutive model is presented. The model is aimed at realistic simulation of liquefaction phenomena occurring in loose saturated granular ...
Nonlinear Failure Criterion and Passive Thrust on Retaining Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effect of nonlinearity of the failure criterion on the passive thrust on smooth and rough vertical retaining walls is studied theoretically. Limit analysis upper bound estimates based on block-type failure mechanisms ...
Viscoelastic Behavior of Asphalt Concrete in Diametral Compression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A viscoelastic solution of the diametral compression of short cylinders has recently been presented by Zhang et al. The solution is based on Hondros's elastic solution and applies to any load history. In this paper, the ...
Viscoelastic Analysis of Diametral Compression of Asphalt Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The diametral compression of short cylinders is generally accepted as the convenient and accurate test method for evaluating the mechanical properties of asphalt concrete mixtures. In particular, the test serves to determine ...
