Influence of Particle Breakage on Critical State Line of Rockfill Material
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The influences of particle breakage on the position of the critical state line (CSL) were systematically investigated in this paper through a series of large-scale triaxial compression tests on Tacheng rockfill material ...
Prediction of Safe Bearing Capacity of Noncohesive Soil in Arid Zone Using Artificial Neural Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Estimation of safe bearing capacity (SBC) of noncohesive soil based on Indian Standard Code requires a lot of field work, viz, conducting direct shear tests to determine cohesion and angle of internal friction, performing ...
Modeling the Mechanical Behavior of Carbonate Sands Using Artificial Neural Networks and Support Vector Machines
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Carbonate sands that are specific soils have some unusual characteristics, such as particle crushability and compressibility, that distinguish their behavior from other types of soil. Because of their large diversity, they ...
Three-Dimensional Slope Stability Charts for Frictional Fill Materials Placed on Purely Cohesive Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper investigates slope stability and produces a set of stability charts for three-dimensional (3D) slopes for a specific case in which frictional fill materials are placed on purely cohesive clay. As slopes are not ...
Pressure Distribution around Rigid Culverts Considering Soil–Structure Interaction Effects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Heger pressure distributions are considered a fundamental tool in the design of RC culverts, according to the direct-design method. However, some factors known to affect soil–structure interaction are neglected when using ...
LEM for Stability Analysis of 3D Slopes with General-Shaped Slip Surfaces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) slope stability analysis is a present research interest for geotechnical engineering. This work established a new 3D limit equilibrium method (LEM) to solve 3D slope stability with general-shaped ...
Mechanical Properties of Brown Coal under Different Loading Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Latrobe Valley in Victoria, Australia has the largest brown coal deposit in the world, where large-scale brown coal mines were established in the early 1970s. The geotechnical stability of mining batters requires a ...
Coupled Effects of Pore-Water Pressure Evolution, Slope Curvature, and Mass Variation on the Kinematics of Rapidly Sliding Fine-Grained Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The analysis of the complex kinematics of fine-grained masses, from the moment they rapidly slide along mountain streams until they stop, is crucial to the identification of potentially vulnerable areas and the design of ...
New Vacuum-Preloading Technique for Ultrasoft-Soil Foundations Using Model Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effectiveness of vacuum preloading is a very important aspect of the improvement effect of dredger fill. This study experimentally investigated this issue using four different vacuum-preloading methods with a physical ...
