Analytical Approach for Evaluating the Dynamic Self-Bearing Capacity of Tunnels
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The self-bearing capacity of tunnels possesses a dynamic evolution process. However, there is a limited advanced knowledge to evaluate the dynamic self-bearing capacity of tunnels quantitatively. In this paper, the ...
Axial Pullout Behavior of Buried Medium-Density Polyethylene Gas Distribution Pipes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation into the axial pullout behavior of buried medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) pipes under various pulling rates. Tests were conducted in a facility developed at the Memorial ...
Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Rigid Footing on Two-Layered Soils of Sand–Clay
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study widely investigates the ultimate bearing capacity of a rigid footing on the free surface of sand overlying clay using the rigid-plastic finite-element method (RPFEM). Interface elements were introduced with the ...
On the Dynamic Soil Behavior under Triaxial and Simple Shear Modes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although much has been discussed on the liquefaction phenomenon and cyclic behavior of saturated sands, relatively little has been clarified on the difference between their cyclic behavior under simple and triaxial shear ...
Empirical Model for Shear Strength of Artificial Rock Containing a Single Nonpersistent Joint
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposes an empirical equation to evaluate the shear strength of rock mass with nonpersistent joints. A novel specimen preparation method is proposed and is used to created plaster specimens containing nonpersistent ...
A Simple Approach for Evaluating the Bearing Capacity of Piles Subjected to Inclined Loads
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper deals with the behavior of piles subjected to inclined compressive loads. Some numerical results are first presented to document the influence of the load inclination on the pile response to high loads capable ...
Constitutive Model for Describing the Fully Coupled Hydromechanical Behavior of Unsaturated Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Many constitutive models have been developed to describe hydromechanical characteristics of unsaturated soils. However, most models lack the capability to adequately simulate the change of the yield stress with suction, ...
Shear Behavior of Soil–Rock Mixture Composed of Diorite-Porphyrite Considering Weathering Sequence
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Due to the weathering process, diorite-porphyrite dikes break up into a soil–rock mixture (SRM), which is crucial to the stability of dams and reservoirs that are under frequent fluctuations of water level. However, the ...
Strength Properties of Cement-Stabilized Dredged Sludge Incorporating Nano-SiO<sub>2</sub> and Straw Fiber
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study investigates the compressive and tensile strength properties of cement-stabilized dredged sludge (CDS) improved by straw fiber (SF) and nano-SiO2 (NS). The influence factors, including SF content, NS content, ...
Investigation of Soil Arching under Cyclic Loading Using the Discrete Element Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the soil arching effect associated with piled embankments under cyclic loading by developing a series of two-dimensional trapdoor discrete numerical models. After identification of the ...
