Penetration Lengths of Agar Gum and Gellan Gum Used for Injection Grouting into Porous Media at Different Pressures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)In the context of ground improvement applications, this study analyzes the radial penetration length during the permeation grouting of thermal gelation biopolymers (TG-BP) into granular soil. Two types of TG-BP were employed, ... -
Large-Strain Consolidation of Sludge in Geotextile Tubes Considering Vacuum-Induced Rapid Consolidation and Soil Reconstitution
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Clogging represents a crucial factor severely hindering the vacuum preloading treatment for clayey sludge. However, the underlying mechanism of this occurrence remains insufficiently investigated, limiting the application ... -
Infiltration Model of Rheological Bentonite Slurry through Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Bentonite grouting is utilized widely in geotechnical engineering to stabilize the excavation and prevent seepage in sandy soils. However, the infiltration behavior of bentonite slurry in sandy soil is not well understood, ... -
Experimental and Coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian Numerical Analyses of the Pullout Behavior of a Bearing Bar Reinforcement System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)In recent years, there has been a re-emerging interest in using inextensible reinforcement systems in reinforced earth structures. Regarding the pullout mechanism, optimum arrangements of inextensible reinforcement systems ... -
Load Transfer Mechanism Variations of Bored Piles in Collapsible Loess Subjected to Water Infiltration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Currently, bored piles are commonly designed based on saturated soil mechanics with an assumed drained condition, even though in most cases the loess is unsaturated. Upon water infiltration, the matric suction reduction ... -
