RISBootstrapping for Characterizing the Effect of Uncertainty in Sample Statistics for Braced Excavations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simple procedure for assessing the probability of serviceability failure in a braced excavation involving bootstrapping to characterize the effect of uncertainty in sample statistics is presented. Here, the failure is ...
CPT-Based Evaluation of Liquefaction Potential Accounting for Soil Spatial Variability at Multiple Scales
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Understanding and assessing the spatial extent of liquefaction requires that the spatial dependence of soil properties to be taken into account. In this work, a cone penetration test (CPT)-based approach for the evaluation ...
Prediction of Fatigue Life of Rubberized Asphalt Concrete Mixtures Containing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Using Artificial Neural Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Accurate prediction of the fatigue life of asphalt mixtures is a difficult task due to the complex nature of materials behavior under various loading and environmental conditions. This study explores the utilization of an ...
Rutting Resistance of Rubberized Asphalt Concrete Pavements Containing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Improved understanding of rutting resistance of a rubberized asphalt concrete pavement that contains reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is important to stimulating the use of rubberized asphalt mixtures. Use of RAP in the ...
Assessing Initial Stiffness Models for Laterally Loaded Piles in Undrained Clay: Robust Design Perspective
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The hyperbolic p−y curve method is commonly used to design laterally loaded piles. The initial stiffness (K) and the ultimate resistance per pile length (pu) are the two key parameters that are required to determine the ...
Simplified Approach for Reliability-Based Design against Basal-Heave Failure in Braced Excavations Considering Spatial Effect
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a simplified approach for reliability analysis of basal heave in a braced excavation considering the spatial variability of soil parameters, The first-order reliability method (FORM) with a variance ...
Bayesian Updating of Soil Parameters for Braced Excavations Using Field Observations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A Bayesian framework using field observations for back-analysis and updating of soil parameters in a multistage braced excavation is presented. Because of the uncertainties originating from the poorly known soil parameters, ...
Effects of Principal Stress Rotation on the Cumulative Deformation of Normally Consolidated Soft Clay under Subway Traffic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The authors investigated the effects of principal stress rotation (PSR) on the traffic load–induced settlement of subways in soft subsoil. Here, a series of hollow cylinder tests on normally consolidated, medium-plasticity ...
