RISInfluence of Relative Density of Soil on Performance of Geocell-Reinforced Sand Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper brings out the influence of relative density of foundation soil on performance improvement of geocell reinforcement; through model load tests on geocell-reinforced and unreinforced sand beds. Tests were carried ...
Effect of Geocell Type on Load-Carrying Mechanisms of Geocell-Reinforced Sand Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a series of model tests has been carried out to develop an understanding of the influence of the geocell material on the load-carrying mechanism of the geocell-reinforced sand foundations under strip loading. ...
Geogrid Reinforcement for Stiffness Improvement of Railway Track Formation Over Clay Subgrade
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Weak subgrade condition generally develops large settlements in ballasted tracks, leading to adverse performance. To ameliorate such problems, a commonly adopted technique is to provide a thick cushion of granular ...
NAELH, RANS, and ANN-Based Analysis of Aspect Ratio Influence to Improve Aerodynamic Predictions and Design of Y-Shaped Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Y-plan architectural configuration, characterized by three limbs converging at a central core, is widely adopted in commercial construction due to its ability to enhance privacy, ventilation, and external visibility. ...
Influence of Lime on Shrinkage Behavior of Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Damage due to soil shrinkage is a serious problem in many parts of the world. Lime can significantly improve the performance of soils, both in terms of increase in strength and reduced swelling. However, its efficacy in ...
Lime Stabilization of Soils: Reappraisal
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lime generally improves the performance of soils. However, some cases reported an adverse effect. To develop an understanding of the underlying mechanisms, a systematic study covering a wide range of plasticity and mineralogy ...
Volume Change Behavior of Fly Ash–Montmorillonite Clay Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the consolidation and swelling characteristics of fly ash–montmorillonite clay mixes. Nine types of fly ash samples collected from different thermal power plants of the Eastern part of India have been ...
Load-Carrying Mechanism of Vertical Plate Anchors in Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental study on the load-carrying mechanism of vertical plate anchors is presented and discussed. It was found that, with a shallow anchor, the rupture surface reached the ground surface, leading to a general shear ...
Experimental and Numerical Study of Wind-Pressure Distribution on Irregular-Plan-Shaped Building
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a detailed study on an E-plan-shaped (asymmetry about both plan axes) building under wind excitation (wind angles varied from 0° to 330° at an interval of 30°). This study is conducted by the wind-tunnel ...
