Analytical Solution to Analyze LTP on Column-Improved Soft Soil Considering Soil Nonlinearity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a mechanical model to idealize the load-settlement response of the load transfer platform (LTP) on column-improved soft soil is proposed. This model simultaneously considers the nonlinear and time-dependent ...
Development of a Constitutive Model to Predict the Behavior of Cement-Treated Clay during Cementation Degradation: C3 Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many researchers have indicated how cementation allows treated soft clays to sustain a higher yield mean effective stress at the same void ratio as its reconstituted state, and thus, the strength of clay treated with cement ...
Influence of Size and Load-Bearing Mechanism of Piles on Seismic Performance of Buildings Considering Soil–Pile–Structure Interaction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pile foundations are usually used to transmit foundation loads through soil strata of low bearing capacity to deeper soil or rock strata with a higher bearing capacity and stiffness. The type and size of a pile foundation ...
Axisymmetric Consolidation in Unsaturated Soil Deposit Subjected to Time-Dependent Loadings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an analytical solution to predict the axisymmetric consolidation in unsaturated soil deposits subjected to different time-dependent loadings. The mathematical procedure uses the separation of variables ...
Improving Rockbolt Design in Tunnels Using Topology Optimization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Finding an optimum reinforcement layout for underground excavation can result in a safer and more economical design, and is therefore highly desirable. Some works in the literature have applied topology optimization in ...
Experimental and Numerical Investigations to Evaluate Two-Dimensional Modeling of Vertical Drain–Assisted Preloading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, the efficiency of proposed formulations for plane-strain modeling of vertical drain–assisted consolidation was evaluated. For this aim, the vertical drain–assisted preloading process was experimentally ...
Assessment of the Elastic-Viscoplastic Behavior of Soft Soils Improved with Vertical Drains Capturing Reduced Shear Strength of a Disturbed Zone
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil disturbance induced by the installation of vertical drains reduces the horizontal soil permeability and shear strength in the disturbed zone. Thus, the soil disturbance contributes to the reduced overconsolidation ...
Three-Dimensional Simulation of Seismic Slope–Foundation–Structure Interaction for Buildings Near Shallow Slopes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Buildings constructed adjacent to the slope crest in seismically active areas might be exposed to serious danger when they are subjected to strong earthquake excitations. The ground conditions can influence the seismic ...
Interpretation of Dynamic Pile Load Testing for Open-Ended Tubular Piles Using Finite-Element Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: For a foundation to perform safely, the ultimate strength of each pile must satisfy the structural and geotechnical requirements. Pile load testing is considered to be a direct method for determining the ultimate geotechnical ...
Analytical Solution for Pollutant Diffusion in Soils with Time-Dependent Dispersion Coefficient
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: According to the characteristics of the time-dependent dispersion coefficient of pollutant migration in soils, a one-dimensional pollutant migration model considering solute decay is established in the finite thickness ...
