11th Peck Lecture: Predesign Geotechnical Investigation for the OII Superfund Site Landfill
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The predesign geotechnical investigation for closure of the Operating Industries, Inc. (OII) Superfund site landfill significantly advanced the state of the art for solid waste landfill engineering. Contributions to solid ... -
1907 Static Liquefaction Flow Failure of the North Dike of Wachusett Dam
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)A static liquefaction flow failure occurred in the upstream slope of the North Dike of Wachusett Dam near Clinton, Massachusetts on April 11, 1907 during the first reservoir filling. The fine sands of the upstream dike ... -
1D Time-Domain Solution for Seismic Ground Motion Prediction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)A full time-domain solution for predicting earthquake ground motion based on the 1D viscoelastic shear-wave equation is presented. The derivation results in a time-domain equation in the form of an infinite impulse response ... -

3D Analyses of Open Trench Barriers Filled with Water
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)This study uses three-dimensional time-domain finite-element analyses to study the isolation efficiency of open trenches filled with various levels of water. The trench is generated along the -
3D Analysis of S-Wave Propagation in Soft Deposits
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)During the 1985 Michoacan earthquake (surface-wave magnitude = 8.1), large-amplitude seismograms of extremely long duration were recorded in the lake-bed zone of Mexico City. Large amplification in soft surficial deposits ... -

3D Experimental Measurements of Evolution of Force Chains in Natural Silica Sand
(ASCE, 2020)The mechanisms of force transmission in granular materials is a classic physics problem that has been addressed since the 19th century, when Heinrich Rudolf Hertz investigated the interaction between two similar objects ... -
3D FE Analyses of Buried Pipeline with Elbows Subjected to Lateral Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)This study investigates the interaction between soil and pipeline in sand subjected to lateral ground displacements with emphasis on the peak force exerted to a bended elbow-pipe. A series of three-dimensional (3D) ... -
3D FEM Back Analysis of the Observed Performance of a Very Deep Excavation in the Historical Center of Naples, Italy
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)Chiaia station is one of the art stations of Line 6 of the Naples underground network; it was constructed in a 50-m-deep excavation, a few meters from historic buildings and 4.5 m from the main façade of a sixteenth-century ... -
3D Modeling of an NATM Tunnel in High K0 Clay Using Two Different Constitutive Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)This paper studies the accuracy of the three-dimensional finite-element predictions of a displacement field induced by tunneling using new Austrian tunneling method (NATM) in stiff clays with high -
3D Numerical Analyses of Column-Supported Embankments: Failure Heights, Failure Modes, and Deformations
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )Design of column-supported embankments (CSE) requires the evaluation of global stability using the conventional limit equilibrium method (LEM). Yet, for CSEs using unreinforced concrete columns and load transferring geogrids, ... -
3D Numerical Assessment of Rammed Aggregate Pier Performance under Dynamic Loading in Liquefiable Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2023/03/01)Ground improvement (GI) techniques have shown promise in effective liquefaction mitigation, but the physical mechanisms governing their three-dimensional (3D) response during dynamic loading are not yet fully understood. ... -
3M Analytical Method: Evaluation of Shaft Friction of Bored Piles in Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This study presents 3M, an analytical method to estimate the skin friction of bored piles in sands. It is based on the fundamental mechanic behavior of sands and keeps track of the major mechanisms occurring in the soil ...
