Borehole Group Effect during Pile Foundation Construction in Soft Soil Areas
(ASCE, 8/1/2023 1)Existing projects indicate that a large number of pile boreholes formed via cement fly ash gravel (CFG) pile construction in soft soil could produce a borehole group effect in the absence of timely backfilling. The borehole ... -
New RSM-FEM–Based Active Lateral Earth Thrust Coefficient Determination Method for Inverted T-Type Cantilever Retaining Walls Supporting Narrow Granular Backfill
(ASCE, 11/1/2023 )This study was aimed to (1) investigate the failure surface mechanism occurring behind the wall supporting narrow backfill with experimental and numerical approaches; (2) determine the effect of internal friction angle ... -
Thermo–Hydro–Mechanical Behavior of Unsaturated Loess Considering the Effect of Porosity and Temperature on Water Retention Properties
(ASCE, 10/1/2023 )Loess is featured by a metastable structure, which results in its significant volumetric decrease under self-weight pressure when subjected to the increase in moisture. The prerequisite for analyzing such a unique deformation ... -
Deep Learning–Based Enhancement of Small Sample Liquefaction Data
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)The liquefaction of sands remains an important topic in geotechnical earthquake engineering. The most widely used evaluation method is based on in situ testing means such as cone penetration test, standard penetration test, ... -
Viscoelastic Behavior of Rocks Saturated with Sorptive Gases: A Heuristic Internal Variables Approach
(ASCE, 10/1/2023 )Recent thermodynamics-based constitutive modeling has enabled robust formulations for complex coupled mechanical, hydraulic, thermal, and chemical interactions. Despite such advances, the constitutive modeling of fractured ... -
Development of Environmental Contours from Site-Specific Regression Parameters of Load–Settlement Curves for Piles: The Global Database
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)A database was compiled to establish the site-specific measured load–displacement responses of piles from different sites across the globe, which contains 188 curves from 12 sites. A curve-fitting technique was applied to ... -
Novel Spatial Soil Arching Effect on a Steep-Slope High Embankment in a Double-V Narrowing Gully
(ASCE, 8/1/2023 1)A novel spatial soil arching (SSA) effect and the arching mechanisms and characteristics of a steep-slope high embankment in a double-V narrowing gully (DVNG) were investigated. First, the consistency between the results ... -
Examining the Creep Characteristics of Basalt Fiber–Reinforced Polymer Grouted Bolts in Mixed Soil
(ASCE, 10/1/2023 )The use of basalt fiber–reinforced polymer (BFRP) bolts has been investigated for their potential in improving the properties of anchorage systems in mixed soil environments, particularly for their lightweight, high strength, ... -
Theoretical Solution for Stress and Strain Distributions Induced by Generalized Elastic Constant Variation in Rock Mass
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)Rock formations experience strength and stiffness degradation or enhancement, which is often reflected by an increase or decrease in the elastic constant. Such elastic constant variation in rock mass often causes the ... -
Semianalytical Solution for Earth Pressure of Narrow Granular Backfill with a Log-Spiral Failure Surface behind Retaining Walls under Translational Mode
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)A novel semianalytical method is proposed to estimate the earth pressure exerted on rigid retaining walls supporting a narrow granular backfill in this study, which is based on the assumption of a log-spiral failure surface. ... -
A Developed Constitutive Model for Sand and Clay under Monotonic and Cyclic Loadings
(ASCE, 8/1/2023 1)In this paper, a constitutive model is presented to model the behavior of various soils (sand and clay) in different loading conditions and the minimum required parameters are obtained. Although some practical features ... -
Remediation of Physical, Mechanical, and Microstructural Properties of Chemical Fertilizer–Contaminated Soil Utilizing Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> in Alpha Phase in the Form of Nanohybrid: Experimental Study
(ASCE, 11/1/2023 )In addition to creating environmental threats, the leakage and entrance of chemical fertilizers into soil, which is possible in various ways, dramatically changes the physical and mechanical properties of soil. Furthermore, ... -
Rapid Treatment of Mud Slurry Using a Vacuum-Assisted PHD and Solidification Combined Method
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)Mud slurries are characterized by high water content and low strength; therefore, treatment (which included volume reduction and strength improvement in this study) was required before they could be transported, handled, ... -
Laboratory Analyses of Noncoaxiality and Anisotropy of Spherical Granular Media under True Triaxial State
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)Anisotropy of the soil is responsible for its noncoaxial response. In simple shear and hollow cylindrical torsional shear tests, considerable noncoaxial responses were detected as a result of the stress-induced anisotropy ... -
