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.

Effects of Pore Water Volume on K0 for Sand Subject to Freezing and Thawing
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, the coefficient of lateral earth pressure at rest (K0) for sand subject to freezing and thawing was investigated, focusing on the effect of pore water volume. Unfrozen (UF), frozen (FR), and thawed (TH) ...
Compressive Load-Carrying Behavior of Inclined Micropiles Installed in Soil and Rock Layers
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Micropiles are an effective option to enhance the load-carrying performance of buildings and infrastructure. In this study, the compressive load capacity and load-carrying mechanism of inclined micropiles in soil and rock ...
Lateral Load Behavior of Inclined Micropiles Installed in Soil and Rock Layers
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, the lateral load-carrying behavior of inclined micropiles installed in various soil–rock layer conditions was investigated based on the results from the model load tests and finite-element analyses. The ...
Lessons Learned from Field Monitoring of Instrumented Piled-Raft Bearing in Rock Layer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Piled rafts are increasingly used for various structures due to the enhanced load-carrying capabilities of raft and piles combined as a single structural unit. In this study, an experimental testing program using a full-scale, ...
Enhanced Data Utilization Approach to Improve the Prediction Performance of Groundwater Level Using Semianalytical and Data Process Models
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Methods for the estimation of groundwater level (GWL) are often based on knowledge- and data-based approaches, which are largely affected by the representativeness of input parameters and the quantity and quality of ...
Experimental and Numerical Studies on Load-Carrying Capacities of Encased Micropiles with Perforated Configuration under Axial and Lateral Loadings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, the axial and lateral load-carrying behavior of encased micropile (MP) with perforated configuration was investigated. The perforated casing adopted in this study was a casing with holes on the casing surface ...
Centrifuge Investigation of Groundwater-Induced Footing Settlement in Sand Considering Rising and Falling GWL Phases
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, the effect of fluctuating groundwater level (GWL) on the settlement of footing foundation placed on sand was investigated based on the results obtained from centrifuge tests. In the tests, rising and falling ...
