Deformation Mechanisms in Stratigraphically Layered Liquefiable Deposits near Buildings on Shallow Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Most natural granular deposits are spatially variable due to heterogeneities in soil hydraulic conductivity, layer thickness, relative density, and continuity. However, existing simplified liquefaction evaluation procedures ... -
A Novel Analytical Solution for Slurry Consolidation Induced by a Vacuum-Assisted Prefabricated Horizontal Drain
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Vacuum preloading via prefabricated horizontal drains (PHDs) is an efficient technique to accelerate the consolidation of dredged soft soils. However, this technique lacks a clear and concise theoretical solution to the ... -
Contribution of Osmotic Suction to Suction Stress for Unsaturated Saline Clay and Its Suction Stress Characteristic Curve
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The presence of water and salt transport in complex hydrochemical environments allows for continuous changes in the suction state of clay (matric suction, osmotic suction, and their interactions). The interaction between ... -
Construction of Quasi-Site-Specific Geotechnical Transformation Models Using Bayesian Sparse Dictionary Learning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Transformation models commonly are used in geotechnical practice to estimate design parameters (e.g., friction angle ϕ) required for geotechnical design and analysis from measurement data obtained from laboratory or ... -
Conical Failure Surface of Medium-Dense Hostun Sand in Undrained Multidirectional Simple Shear Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Realistic seismic shearing is usually not limited to a single direction. A number of studies on the effect of multidirectional shearing have proven that soil behaves differently under multidirectional loading compared with ... -
A New Associative Yield Function for Suction-Embedded Plate Anchors in Undrained Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This study proposes a new associative yield function (f*) for suction-embedded plate anchors in undrained clay, addressing the limitations of the commonly used yield function (f). Firstly, 2,520 three-dimensional finite-element ... -
