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 ...
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 ...
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 Evaluation of Ballasted Track Substructure Response under Repeated Train Loads
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The irrecoverable deformations in the substructure layers are detrimental to the track stability and demand frequent maintenance. With an escalation in axle load and traffic volume, the frequency of maintenance operations ...
Impacts of Drying-Wetting and Loading-Unloading Cycles on Small Strain Shear Modulus of Unsaturated Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The small strain shear modulus (Gmax) is an important parameter in geodynamic problems. To predict the Gmax of unsaturated soils that are normally subjected to complex drying and wetting processes, the effect of hydraulic ...
Analytical and Numerical Approaches to Attain the Optimum Tapering Angle for Axially-Loaded Bored Piles in Sandy Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study aims to establish an equation to obtain the optimum tapering angle (αopt) for bored tapered piles that is correlated with pile geometry and sand properties that vary with the relative density. This αopt corresponds ...
