Sensitivity Analysis and Prediction Method for Water Inflow of Underground Oil Storage Caverns in Fractured Porous Media
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)A sensitivity analysis method is proposed for the water inflow assessment and prediction of underground water-sealed oil storage caverns in fractured porous media. First, sensitivity analysis was carried out based on the ... -
Direct Application of the Soil–Water Characteristic Curve to Estimate the Shear Modulus of Unsaturated Soils
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The small-strain shear modulus of soils is a key parameter in the design of geotechnical systems and analysis of the soil–structure response to earth and earth-supported infrastructure. However, the small-strain shear ... -
Seismic Slope Stability Analysis of a Hydraulic Fill Dam
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)This paper presents a seismic slope stability assessment study of an inherently heterogeneous hydraulic fill dam in Texas. Extensive cone penetration soundings conducted at the dam site were interpreted to estimate different ... -
Interpretation of Japanese Wood Building Damage Based on Soil–Foundation Connection Modeling
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Japanese wood building damage was concentrated on the first story of buildings in previous large earthquakes. The main reason was attributed to an undesirable layout (lack of shear walls) in the first story. However, it ... -
Experimental Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Ballast Contaminated with Wet Sand Materials
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Considerable parts of worldwide railway networks cross deserts where there are frequent sandstorms, which cause contamination of ballast. One of the most important challenges for railway industries is the adverse effects ... -
Stability of Unlined Rectangular Tunnels in Rock Masses Subjected to Surcharge Loading
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)This paper investigates the stability of unlined rectangular tunnels in rock masses subjected to surcharge loading using adaptive finite element limit analysis based on the generalized Hoek-Brown failure criterion. Both ... -
Investigation of Development of the Earth Pressure Coefficient at Rest in Clay During Creep in the Framework of Hyper-Viscoplasticity
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The in situ earth pressure coefficient at rest (K0) for clay has been widely discussed in the literature. In engineering practice, the empirical relationships between K0, the overconsolidation ratio (OCR), and the normally ... -
Impact of Irregularity, Initial Stress, Porosity, and Corrugation on the Propagation of SH Wave
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)The present model is established to analyze the characteristics of SH wave propagation in a fluid-saturated porous layer interfaced between a corrugated heterogeneous layer and an orthotropic half-space under an initial ... -
Vertical Vibration Analysis of a Pile Group in Multilayered Poroelastic Soils with Compressible Constituents
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)This paper will investigate the vertical vibration of a pile group connected to a rigid cap in multilayered poroelastic soils with compressible constituents. Individual piles in the pile group are modeled as one-dimensional ... -
Response and Stability of Piles Subjected to Excavation Loading
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)This paper develops new models and normalized solutions to capture the response of piles subjected to a mixed translation–rotational soil movement. A flexible pile is divided into upper and lower portions, which join ... -
Geotechnical Properties of a New Transparent Clay
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )This paper presents a study of the mechanical properties of a synthetic transparent clay to be used in physical geotechnical models. The manufacturing processes of a synthetic transparent clay consisting of Carbopol polymers, ... -
Numerical Simulation and Performance Assessment of Seepage Control Effect on the Fractured Surrounding Rock of the Wunonglong Underground Powerhouse
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )Seepage control is a key technical problem in large-scale underground cavern engineering, and seepage analysis plays an important role in realizing engineering optimization design and safety. The long-term seepage control ...
