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.

Optimization of Vibrocompaction Design for Liquefaction Mitigation of Gravity Caisson Quay Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Gravity-type caisson walls are a type of popular but easily damaged waterfront construction structure, especially in seismic regions. Various forms of mitigation have been successfully applied to improve their performance ...
Behavior of Slender Piles Subject to Free-Field Lateral Soil Movement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil movements associated with slope instability induce shear forces and bending moments in stabilizing piles that vary with the buildup of passive pile resistance. For such free-field lateral soil movements, stress ...
Statistical Assessment of Factor of Safety for Pile-Reinforced Slopes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Statistical design of experiments was combined with coupled and uncoupled pile-reinforced slope stability analyses to draw conclusions about the factor of safety (FS) sensitivity to pile-related properties (pile location, ...
Assessing Diagnostic Error of Factors of Safety of Slopes Applying Bayesian Inference
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Stability analyses are crucial for identifying soil slope failure susceptibility. Currently, several analytical methods are available to perform such analyses. However, the degree of agreement of the analytical factors of ...
