RISLimiting Force Profile for Laterally Loaded Piles in Undrained Clay
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigates the limiting force profile (LFP) for laterally loaded piles embedded in undrained clay. Based on the three- and two-dimensional finite-element limit analysis (FELA), the failure mechanisms and methods ...
Mechanical Behavior of Granular Materials under Neutral Loading: Stress-Probing Analysis and Constitutive Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractUnderstanding the behavior of granular materials under neutral loading can provide
valuable insights into the fundamental principles that govern their responses and
aid in developing sophisticated constitutive ...
Prediction of Turbulent Convective Heat Transfer to Supercritical CH4 /N2 in a Vertical Circular Tube
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cooling of supercritical CH4 /N2 mixture is the most important heat transfer process during coalbed methane (CBM) liquefaction. In this paper, numerical studies of the turbulent convective heat ...
Interactive Influence of Water and Fines Contents on the Strength of Compacted Cement-Stabilized Clayey Sands: Insights and Predictive Framework
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Compacted cement-stabilized soils are important geomaterials for construction projects involving backfilling, embankment construction, and ground improvement. In general, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) serves as an ...
Multidirectional Cyclic Shear Behavior of Gap-Graded Soils Considering Fines Loss due to Suffusion: A DEM Perspective
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractSoil grounds serving as primary support for traffic loads are often subjected to multidirectional
cyclic shear loading and are particularly vulnerable to suffusion during extreme weather
conditions. This study uses ...
Upper-Bound Limit Analysis of Bearing Capacity and Failure Mode of Strip Footings Considering Cohesion and Friction Anisotropy
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract An upper-bound limit analysis is proposed to determine the failure mechanism and bearing
capacity of strip footings on soil exhibiting anisotropy in both cohesion and friction.
The failure mechanism consists of a ...
Prediction of Viscoelastic Behavior in Asphalt Concrete Using the Fast Multipole Boundary Element Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes an application of the fast multipole boundary element method (FMBEM) in simulating the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt concrete (AC). FMBEM has some merits including easy meshing of complicated ...
Influence of Intermediate Principal Stress and Principal Stress Direction on Drained Behavior of Natural Soft Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Drained torsional shear tests were performed on hollow cylindrical intact soft clay specimens to investigate the anisotropic deformation, strength, and noncoaxial behavior in general stress states involving variations in ...
Suffusion-Induced Evolution of Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of Gap-Graded Soils Using CFD-DEM
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As a typical form of internal erosion, suffusion refers to the detachment and migration of fine particles through voids among coarse particles driven by seepage flow. This paper studies the suffusion-induced evolution of ...
Characterizing the Liquefaction Potential and Pore Pressure Generation of Silty Sands through the Energy-Based Approach in the Framework of Critical State Soil Mechanics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Evaluation of the liquefaction susceptibility of soils is one of the most important subjects in geotechnical earthquake engineering. The energy-based liquefaction evaluation procedure, with a focus on seismic energy ...
