Load-Transfer Mechanism of Helical Piles Under Compressive and Impact Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Helical piles are currently used to support large compressive loads, which requires accurate evaluation of their bearing capacity. High strain dynamic load testing is increasingly used to determine the capacity of helical ...
Mechanism of Enzyme Stabilization for Expansive Soils Using Mechanical and Microstructural Investigation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Expansive soils are susceptible to ground movements and are problematic to overlying geotechnical structures. There is a growing shift to use nontraditional sustainable and economical alternatives. To date, limited research ...
Factors and Failure Patterns Analysis for Undrained Seismic Bearing Capacity of Strip Footing Above Void
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study aims to predict the undrained seismic bearing capacity and failure mechanisms of a shallow strip footing that is placed on homogeneous and heterogeneous cohesive soils above a single unsupported rectangular void ...
Interpretation of Undrained Hollow Cylinder Shear on Natural Shanghai Soft Clay Using Three-Dimensional Constitutive Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The mechanical response of natural clays can exhibit significant directional dependence due to loading history and layered soil structure. We report an experimental investigation of the stress–strain-strength response of ...
Influence of Excavation Time, Tension Crack, and Rainfall on the Stability of Unsupported Vertical Cuts in Unsaturated Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study focuses on the stability of unsupported vertical cuts in unsaturated soil. For this, a series of numerical analyses were carried out to estimate the stability of unsupported vertical cuts excavated in an unsaturated ...
Numerical Investigation of Coupled Effects of Temperature and Confining Pressure on Rock Mechanical Properties in Fractured Rock Mass Using Thermal-Stress-Aperture Coupled Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The mechanical performance of rock mass subjected to the coupled influences of the elevated temperature and in situ stresses has always been a hot topic in underground rock engineering projects. In this study, a ...
DEM Analysis of Mechanical Behavior of Unsaturated Silt under Strain-Controlled Constant Stress Ratio Compression Tests
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The three-dimensional discrete element method (DEM) is employed to investigate the macro- and microscopic mechanical behaviors of unsaturated silt subjected to one-dimensional (K0) and constant stress ratio loadings. A DEM ...
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 ...
High-Precision Forward Analysis and Field Test of Boulder Detection on Zero-Offset Elastic Wave Method in Shield Tunnel
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Efficient and accurate boulder detection technology is essential for shield tunneling safely under complex floodplain geological conditions. The traditional seismic reflection method is not suitable for complex geological ...
New Simple Breakage Index for Crushable Granular Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Degradation of geomaterials, that is, particle breakage, can be harmful to the full life-cycle stability of practical engineering; for example, rockfill dam, energy-pile foundation, railway embankment, and retaining wall. ...
