RISAnalytical Method for Determining Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Unsaturated Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The bearing capacity of foundations constructed on unsaturated soils depends on the soil saturation degree and thus the soil suction. This paper presents a simple limit equilibrium approach to compute the foundation bearing ...
The Effect of Foundation Shape on Subgrade Reaction Coefficient
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper numerically examines the effect of foundation shape on the subgrade reaction coefficient. The distribution of the subgrade reaction coefficient on the foundation area and the values of this coefficient in different ...
Effect of Shear Deformation on Bending of Laminated Composite Beams
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A higher-order shear deformation beam theory is utilized to analyze the bending of thick laminated composite beams. This theory accounts for parabolic distribution of shear strain through the ...
Effect of Natural Fiber on Durability and Strength of Problematic Soils Stabilized with Novel Persian Gum as an Environmentally Friendly Biopolymer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractBiopolymers are used for soil stabilization with no environmental impact. Due to the
hydrophilicity and solubility of biopolymers, their durability is of concern. This
paper investigates the effect of using kenaf ...
Influence of Optimized Tire Shreds on Shear Strength Parameters of Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the usefulness of optimizing the size of waste tire shreds on shear strength parameters of sand reinforced with shredded waste tires. A relatively, uniform sand has been mixed with randomly distributed ...
New Geometric Average Method for Calculation of Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Stratified Sands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Obtaining the bearing capacity of shallow foundations in a nonhomogeneous soil profile has been a challenging task in geotechnical engineering. In this paper, a new geometric average for the equivalent soil friction angle (
Analysis of Interfering Circular Footings on Reinforced Soil by Physical and Numerical Approaches Considering Strain-Dependent Stiffness
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper numerically examines the bearing capacity, settlement, and failure kinematics of two closely spaced circular footings on reinforced soil. A number of large-scale tests are performed to identify the influence of ...
Stability Analysis of Geocell-Reinforced Slopes Using the Limit Equilibrium Horizontal Slice Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Given the three-dimensional confinement, the geocell reinforcement can act as a beam that can carry both bending and membrane stresses compared with only the planar membrane effect of planar reinforcement. This study ...
Analytical Method for Estimating the Bearing Capacity of Stone Column Groups
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract Owing to their ease of implementation, cost-effectiveness, and environmental compatibility,
stone columns (SCs) are widely utilized in geotechnical engineering for ground improvement.
This study presents a novel ...
Analysis of Twin Large Circular Footings on a Geocell-Reinforced Bed Using Response Surface Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The pressure-settlement response and failure mechanism behavior of two interacting rigid rough identical footings resting on geocell-reinforced sand is investigated using finite-difference software, FLAC3D. The geocell is ...
