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.

Discussion of “ p-y Criterion for Rock Mass” by Robert Liang, Ke Yang, and Jamal Nusairat
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Plastic Flow of Sand and Pullout Capacity of Suction Caissons
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Experimental Evaluation of Strength Characteristics of Stabilized Dredged Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A composite geomaterial (CGM) is developed using dredged soil, bottom ash, cement and air foam. The engineering properties of the CGM are characterized as a function of the content of the various admixtures and the curing ...
Buckling of Piles with General Power Distribution of Lateral Subgrade Reaction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A model for evaluating the critical buckling capacity of long slender friction piles is developed with lateral soil support included based on the concept of the subgrade reaction. A general power distribution of the ...
Discussion of “Representation of Compacted Clay Minifabric Using Random Networks” by J. Chen and M. A. Gabr
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
BTEX Extraction from Clay Soil Using Prefabricated Vertical Drains
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A pilot scale field test was conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of using prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) for in-situ point extraction of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) under vacuum. Results ...
Field Study to Investigate WIDE Technology for TCE Extraction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A full-scale field study was conducted using well injection depth extraction (WIDE) technology to remove trichloroethylene (TCE) from subsurface profiles with fine-grained soils. WIDE incorporates the use of geosynthetic ...
Representation of Compacted Clay Minifabric Using Random Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Prefabricated Vertical Drains Flow Resistance under Vacuum Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The results of experimental research are presented and discussed with focus on the internal well resistance of prefabricated vertical drains (PVD) under vacuum-induced water flow. Measured results included fluid flow rates ...
Shear Strength Parameters of Municipal Solid Waste with Leachate Recirculation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this study was to characterize relative changes in waste shear strength parameters during waste decomposition. Twelve direct shear tests (
