Wave-Induced Response of Seepage Pressure around Shield Tunnel in Sand Seabed Slope
(ASCE, 10/1/2023 )With the increasing demand of transport construction in coastal areas, seabed instability around tunnels subjected to ocean waves and protection of the tunnels are becoming increasingly important. Current analytical solutions ... -
Failure Mechanism of Slopes Subjected to Embedded Strip Footing Loads under Seismic Conditions
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)The stability of slopes subjected to vertical embedded strip footing loads under static and seismic conditions was investigated. The pseudostatic method was considered to represent an earthquake load. Two-dimensional ... -
Energy Response Characteristics of Laterally Loaded Piles
(ASCE, 2/1/2023 1)A bounding surface plasticity p − y model is used to examine the internal energy responses of a laterally loaded pile in static and dynamic simulations. The model response is first compared with those observed in physical ... -
Small and Intermediate Strain Characteristics of a Partially Saturated Sand–Clay Mixture
(ASCE, 8/1/2023 1)Traditional soil mechanics idealizes geomaterials as being in a dry or fully water-saturated state. However, there is a zone between the ground surface and the groundwater table, where the soil is unsaturated, which means ... -
Prediction of the End-Bearing Capacity of Axially Loaded Piles in Saturated and Unsaturated Soils Based on the Stress Characteristics Method
(ASCE, 7/1/2023 1)This study proposed an analytical approach for predicting the end-bearing capacity of driven piles that are subjected to axial loads in saturated and unsaturated soils. This is a generalized approach in which the stress ... -
Physical Model Tests and Discrete-Element Simulation of Pile and Soil Displacement Response Induced by DOT Shield Tunneling Based on Transparent Soil Technology
(ASCE, 8/1/2023 1)With the advantages of saving underground space, small construction impact, and saving cost, the double-O-tube (DOT) shield tunneling construction technology has been used many times in the tunnel construction of particular ... -
Experimental Study on Treating Landfill Sludge by Freeze–Thaw Combined with Vacuum Preloading Using Prefabricated Horizontal Drains
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)The traditional chemical vacuum preloading method for landfill sludge (LS) often has problems of pollution, deformation, and blockage of the drainage plate. Consequently, we proposed a freeze–thaw process with vacuum ... -
Numerical Modeling of Rock Blocks with Nonpersistent Rough Joints Subjected to Uniaxial Compressive and Shear Loadings
(ASCE, 7/1/2023 1)Characterizing the mechanical behavior of jointed rocks is important to understand the behavior of structures in rock masses. Jointed rocks can be composed of persistent and nonpersistent joints where the impact of ... -
Modeling of a Slope Reinforced by an Anchored Geomat System to Investigate Global Loading Behavior and Slope Stability
(ASCE, 8/1/2023 1)Flexible reinforcements are a promising option in slope engineering owing to their mechanical strength and ecological restoration. An in-depth understanding of the mechanical behavior of a slope reinforced by an anchored ... -
Large-Deformation Finite-Element Analysis of Square Foundations in Spatially Variable Sediments
(ASCE, 8/1/2023 1)Square foundations often penetrate deeply into seabed sediments so that sufficient bearing capacity is obtained, which inevitably induces large-scale deformation in the surrounding sediments. Most of the previous research ... -
Nonparametric Representation for Seismic Fragility Assessment of Earth Dams with Spatially Variable Soil Properties
(ASCE, 8/1/2023 1)Seismic fragility is the conditional failure probability of reaching certain performance states under various intensities of seismic load, which is a significant part of the seismic risk and resilience assessment of ... -
Large Strain Consolidation of Unsaturated Soil: Model Formulation and Numerical Analysis
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)A nonlinear large strain consolidation model for unsaturated soils is presented in this paper. The model uses the Lagrangian–convective coordinate to track the flow of air and water through a deformed layer and the state ... -
