RISFracturing Pressure in Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydraulic fracturing in clayey soils can be triggered by either tensile or shear failure. In this paper, the physical meanings of various equations to predict fracture initiation pressure proposed in the past are discussed ...
Closure to “Fracturing Pressure in Clay” by M. Marchi, G. Gottardi, and K. Soga

Interpretation of Slope Movements Induced by Adjacent Large Landslide in Northern Italy
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The village of Corniglio, in the district of Parma, Northern Apennines (Italy), has been affected for the last 6 years by a huge landslide—currently one of the largest slope movements in Europe—which has caused considerable ...
Probabilistic Calibration of a Dynamic Model for Predicting Rainfall-Controlled Landslides
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Italy has a number of regions with mid to high vulnerable areas from a hydrogeological point of view. The causes are the result of both the fragility of territory and the anthropic influence on its continuous modifications. ...
Insights into the Hydromechanical Behavior of a River Embankment through Physical and Numerical Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the framework of a climate change scenario and growing land urbanization, a reliable assessment of river embankment safety conditions represents a key aspect to enhance the resilience of these critical infrastructures ...
A Quantitative Interpretation of the Response of Articular Cartilage to Atomic Force Microscopy Based Dynamic Nanoindentation Tests
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a quantitative interpretation for atomic force microscopybased dynamic nanoindentation (AFMDN) tests on the superficial layers of bovine articular cartilage (AC) is provided. The relevant constitutive ...
Concept for Monitoring-Based Stress Prediction in Structures by Means of Artificial Neural Networks and Synthetic Noise
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractAn approach for monitoring and simulation-based stress prediction employing feed-forward
neural networks (FNNs) is presented, where artificial noise is used to improve the
robustness of structural stress prediction. ...
Hydrologically Aided Interpolation of Daily Precipitation and Temperature Fields in a Mesoscale Alpine Catchment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ydrological modeling in mountainous regions, where catchment hydrology is heavily influenced by snow (and possibly ice) processes, is a challenging task. The intrinsic complexity of local processes is added to the difficulty ...
Numerical Tool for Prediction of Sand Boil Reactivations near River Embankments
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The article presents a three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model of the groundwater flow beneath a river embankment, aimed at developing a simple and reliable numerical strategy for the identification of hydraulic ...
Comparative Study of CPTU and SDMT in Liquefaction-Prone Silty Sands with Ground Improvement
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Following the 2012 Emilia-Romagna seismic sequence, widespread liquefaction of silty sands was observed, providing the opportunity to enhance our knowledge of the influence of fines content on seismic hazard and mitigation ...
