The Effects of Temperature on One-Dimensional Consolidation and Creep Behaviors of Hong Kong Marine Deposits
(ASCE, 2023/12/01)The consolidation of Hong Kong marine deposits (HKMDs), a typical soft clayey soil in Hong Kong, is a serious concern in engineering practices, such as coastal embankment construction and marine reclamations. Previous ... -
Mechanical Behavior of Cement-Stabilized Silt with Rubber Fines and Buffings
(ASCE, 2023/12/01)The engineering properties of cemented silt with rubber fines and rubber buffings mixtures are investigated using compaction, unconfined compression, direct shear, and freeze–thaw (FT) cycle tests. The rubber fines (20-mesh ... -
Slip Line Solution for Active Earth Pressure of Retaining Walls with Relief Shelves Subjected to Base Rotation
(ASCE, 10/1/2023 )At present, the research on retaining walls with relief shelves mainly focuses on translational displacement mode, and the research on RB mode is less. Using adaptive software, it is possible to obtain the grid distribution ... -
Dynamic Analysis for a Shallow Isosceles Trapezoid Depression Impacted by SH Waves
(ASCE, 8/1/2023 1)This paper presents a series solution of shear horizontal (SH) wave scattering by a shallow isosceles trapezoid depression in half-space. An appropriate multiregion-matching technique was adopted to divide the analytical ... -
A New Frequency Domain Framework of Inverse Ground Response Analysis for the Determination of Dynamic Soil Properties in a Two-Layered System
(ASCE, 11/1/2023 )Ground response analysis (GRA) requires the use of dynamic soil property curves (DSPCs). However, because regional DSPCs are not always available, globally recorded DSPCs are utilized in regional GRA the majority of the ... -
Determination of Passive Earth Pressure on a Cantilever Retaining Wall in a Narrow Foundation Pit Based on Logarithmic Spiral Sliding Surface
(ASCE, 8/1/2023 1)The distribution of passive earth pressure on a cantilever flexible retaining wall in a narrow foundation pit is significantly affected by the adjacent retaining wall and the width of the foundation pit. The deformation ... -
Element Failure Risk Assessment of Soil Slope
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)Two traditional methods when calculating slope failure risk (R) are the rigid body limit equilibrium (LEM) and finite-element methods (FEM). However, the LEM requires the previous assumption of the location and shape of ... -
Experimental Study on the Failure Process of Fault Rock Bursts in Tunnels Based on a 3D-Printed Large-Scale Physical Model
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)To investigate the failure process of fault rock burst in tunnels, a large-scale physical model test is conducted. Using the 3D printing technology of the wet-material extrusion deposition molding process, a 2 m × 2 m × ... -
Coupled Hydromechanical Behavior of Compacted Loess during Isotropic Compression
(ASCE, 10/1/2023 )Compacted loess is a special collapsible unsaturated soil and is sensitive to hydraulic conditions. Understanding and modeling the coupled hydromechanical behavior of compacted loess during isotropic compression is essential ... -
Study on the Periodic Collapse of Suspended Sandstone Interlayer under Coupled Thermo–Hydro–Mechanical Environment
(ASCE, 8/1/2023 1)In the process of in situ heat injection mining of coal seams, a circular combustion chamber will gradually be formed. However, for the interlayer coal seam, the interlayer will gradually suspend in the combustion chamber. ... -
A Hyperbolic <i>p–y</i> Criterion for Flexible Piles in Weathered Rock Mass
(ASCE, 10/1/2023 )Bored piles (drilled shafts) socketed in weathered rock mass are frequently used to transfer higher lateral loads from superstructures to competent underlying rock mass. A common method for analyzing the response of laterally ... -
