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.

3D Discretized Rotational Failure Mechanism for Slope Stability Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The kinematical approach of limit analysis has been historically employed to assess slope stability in the geotechnical community, for which most three-dimensional (3D) failure mechanisms are generally based on a composite ...
Earth Pressure Estimation of Undrained Soil–Wall Systems with Head Rotation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Semianalytical or analytical models for calculating active and passive earth pressure coefficients for undrained soil–wall systems subjected to head rotation are rare. To fill this gap, this study proposes a semianalytical ...
A Semianalytical Model for Three-Dimensional Stability Analysis of Potentially Rotational Slopes in Unsaturated Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Stability analysis of slopes subjected to steady infiltration is a hot topic in geotechnical engineering. However, the existing three-dimensional (3D) upper-bound limit analyses of unsaturated rotational slopes failed to ...
Stability Assessments of Reinforced Tunnel Face Using Improved Homogenization Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this work, the stability of a reinforced tunnel face is examined by combining the homogenization method with the kinematic approach of limit analysis. A three-dimensional (3D) heterogeneous and anisotropic failure ...
