Evaluation of Passive Earth Resistance Using an Improved Limit Equilibrium Method of Slices
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The present study proposes a new approach to solve passive earth pressure problems using the method of slices, coupled with the limit equilibrium (LE) technique. Unlike existing LE studies that adopted failure surfaces of ...
Analysis of Stability of Concealed Cataclinal Slopes with Talus Deposits Accumulated at Their Toes with Respect to Biplanar Failure
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Talus deposits naturally form to a certain height in the toes of slopes because of the accumulation of collapsed material and small landslides. However, the stability of concealed cataclinal slopes with talus deposits ...
Stability Analysis of Pressurized 3D Tunnel Face with Tensile Strength Cutoff
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The aim of this study is to propose an effective approach to evaluate the stability of a shield tunnel face with tensile strength cutoff by using the upper-bound limit analysis method. Based on the discretization and “point ...
Structure–Soil–Structure Interaction Analysis for Lateral Seismic Earth Pressure of Deeply Buried Structure in Layered Ground
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Based on the theory of three-dimensional wave propagation, this paper proposed a method to evaluate the amplified seismic responses of two adjacent structures in horizontally stratified ground owing to seismic structure– ...
Theoretical and Numerical Analyses on Hydro–Thermal–Salt–Mechanical Interaction of Unsaturated Salinized Soil Subjected to Typical Unidirectional Freezing Process
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The freezing process of salinized soil is a complex, dynamic, and interactive hydro–thermal–salt–mechanical (HTSM) coupled physical phenomenon. In many recent studies, soil was assumed to be saturated, and the theoretical ...
Earth Pressures on Retaining Walls Backfilled with Sand Admixed with Building Derived Materials: Laboratory Scale Study
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Earth retaining structures are constructed to withstand lateral pressure from backfill soil and surcharge pressures from the foundations of adjacent structures. Although sands are considered as the most suitable backfill ...
Face Stability Analysis of EPB Shield Tunnels in Dry Granular Soils Considering Nonuniform Chamber Pressure and a Dynamic Excavation Process
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The support pressure at the tunnel face of earth pressure balance (EPB) shield machines is usually assumed to be uniform from the crown to the invert, which is a notable simplification of reality. In this study, the effects ...
Resistance of Caisson Tip with Internal Bevels for Suction Caissons Penetrating into Clay
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Suction caissons with internal bevels at the caisson tip can effectively reduce resistance to make them to penetrate into the seabed easily. This paper describes the failure mechanisms of the soil at the caisson tip with ...
Predicting Resilient Modulus of Cementitiously Stabilized Subgrade Soils Using Neural Network, Support Vector Machine, and Gaussian Process Regression
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), and Gaussian process regression (GPR) were developed in this study for predicting resilient modulus (Mr) values of cementitously stabilized subgrade soils. A ...
Prediction of Peak Shear Strength of Rock Joints Based on Back-Propagation Neural Network
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The shear strength model, a predictive method for effectively characterizing the shear strength of joints, can be used to evaluate the stability of the rock mass. However, the traditional shear model is difficult to apply ...
