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.

Fault Rupture Propagation through Sand: Finite-Element Analysis and Validation through Centrifuge Experiments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The three notorious earthquakes of 1999 in Turkey (Kocaeli and Düzce) and Taiwan (Chi-Chi), having offered numerous examples of surface fault rupturing underneath civil engineering structures, prompted increased interest ...
Normal Fault Rupture Interaction with Strip Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Observations after earthquakes where surface fault ruptures crossed engineering facilities reveal that some structures survived the rupture almost unscathed. In some cases, the rupture path appears to divert, “avoiding” ...
Resonant Column Testing of Sands with Different Viscosity Pore Fluids
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effect of pore fluid viscosity on the stiffness, damping, and liquefaction characteristics of sands was investigated to assess the potential contributions to a centrifuge model seismic response for soils saturated with ...
Numerical Study of Mobilized Friction along Embedded Catenary Mooring Chains
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Understanding the soil resistance along an embedded anchor chain is imperative for efficient and economic design of an overall mooring system as it determines the magnitude and direction of the load at the padeye of the ...
Difference between Load-Transfer Relationships for Laterally Loaded Pile Groups: Active <b><i>p</i></b> - <b><i>y</i></b> or Passive <b><i>p</i></b> -δ
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) finite-element analyses were carried out to study undrained soil deformation around piles displaced laterally through soil. The load-transfer
Effect of Stress Level on Response of Model Monopile to Cyclic Lateral Loading in Sand
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Monopile foundations supporting offshore wind turbines are exposed to cyclic lateral loading, which can cause accumulated pile displacement or rotation and evolution of the dynamic response. To inform the development of ...
Permeable Plate Anchors: Accelerating Capacity Gain in Soft Clay
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Plate anchors have become an attractive technology for anchoring offshore floating facilities such as floating renewable energy devices because they provide high holding capacity relative to their dry weight. This allows ...
