Model Test of Rock-Socketed Pile under Axial and Oblique Tension Loading in Combined Composite Ground
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)With the rapid development of transmission-line engineering in western China and the frequent occurrence of extreme natural disasters, a great deal of attention has been paid to the bearing capacity of foundation systems. ... -
Evaluation of Hydraulic Jacking Mechanism during In Situ Rock Grouting Using a Strain Energy Release Rate Method
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)During the hydraulic jacking process, the preexisting joints in a rock mass under grout pressure that exceeds the in-situ normal stress become unstable. This process thus causes the tensile opening and crack growth of ... -
Analytical Method for Determining Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Unsaturated Soils
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)The bearing capacity of foundations constructed on unsaturated soils depends on the soil saturation degree and thus the soil suction. This paper presents a simple limit equilibrium approach to compute the foundation bearing ... -
Effects of Soil–Water Interaction on the Mechanical Behaviors of Shear-Zone Soils
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)This paper reports the effects of soil–water interaction on the mechanical behaviors of shear-zone soils taken from a bedding landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area of China. Two types of wetting treatment, namely ... -
Method of Rigorous Characteristics for Seismic Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings Placed Adjacent to Homogeneous Soil Slopes
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Most studies try to establish a stress field and a compatible velocity field simultaneously to evaluate the seismic bearing capacity of strip footings placed adjacent to homogeneous soil slopes. However, the coupling of ... -
Improved Calculation Method for the Internal Force of h-Type Prestressed Anchor Cable Antislide Piles
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)An h-type prestressed anchor cable antislide pile is suggested for dealing with large-scale landslide disasters. At present, the internal force calculation of h-type antislide piles includes a great deal of cumbersome and ... -
Active Earth Pressure against Cantilever Retaining Walls with the Long Relief Shelf Rotating about the Bottom
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)A cantilever retaining wall incorporating a long relief shelf is a specific form of retaining wall. However, currently, there are no reports investigating this retaining wall rotating about the bottom. Herein, the failure ... -
Seismic Bearing Capacity of Strip Footing with Nonlinear Mohr–Coulomb Failure Criterion
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Many published studies on seismic conditions have focused on a pseudostatic method with a linear Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion. However, the pseudostatic method ignores the influence of time and spatial variables on seismic ... -
Analytical Formulation of the Ultimate Resistance for Piles in Undrained Clays Based on Threefold Failure Mechanisms
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Large-diameter piles (commonly called monopiles) are extensively used to support offshore wind turbines (OWTs) for withstanding large lateral and overturning moments. Results from monotonic tests suggested that the design ... -
Theoretical Analysis on Reduction of Load-Induced Excess Pore-Water Pressures in Roads with Geogrids
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Geogrids used in roads can not only stabilize granular bases on weak subgrade but also have the potential to reduce excess pore-water pressures and deformations in road layers under traffic loading. In this paper, the ... -
Analysis of the Response of a Single Pile Using the Disturbance State Concept Theory
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Based on disturbed state concept (DSC) theory, this paper reports an analysis of the progressive failure mechanism of a pile–soil system from a new perspective. Assuming that the strengths of the pile–soil interface elements ... -
Influence of Wavelength-to-Excavation Span Ratio on Dynamic Failure Characteristics of a Deep-Buried Tunnel Subjected to Disturbance
