Numerical Modeling of Cone Penetration Test in Unsaturated Sand inside a Calibration Chamber
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Cone-penetration resistance in unsaturated soils may differ from that in dry or saturated soils. A finite-element numerical model simulating the cone penetration process in soil inside a calibration chamber is explained. ... -
Porosity and Permeability Alteration around Wellbore during Injection Process
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods were processed to increase the amount of oil extracted from a reservoir after primary and secondary recoveries, typically by injecting water or gas. Fluid injection has been vastly applied ... -
Numerical Modeling of Consolidation of Unsaturated Soils Considering Hydraulic Hysteresis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The consolidation of soils is important to geotechnical engineering practice, such as when assessing the rate of settlement of shallow foundations, embankments, and landfills. In this paper, numerical analyses are performed ... -
Pseudostatic Analysis of Shallow Strip Footing Resting on Two-Layered Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In geotechnical engineering, determination of the bearing capacity of a shallow foundation in nonhomogeneous soil is an intriguing task. In the present study, an effort was made to evaluate the ultimate bearing capacity ... -
Strata Behaviors and Rock Burst–Inducing Mechanism under the Coupling Effect of a Hard, Thick Stratum and a Normal Fault
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The study of strata behaviors of hard, thick stratum (HTS) and faults in underground coal mines is significant to understanding and predicting the mechanism of rock bursts. By considering the occurrence of a HTS and a ... -
Deformation Analysis of Shallow Gas-Bearing Ground from Controlled Gas Release in Hangzhou Bay of China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Ground disturbance and deformation caused by a controlled gas release prior to engineering construction are commonly encountered geotechnical and geoenvironmental problems in shallow gas geology areas. In this work, typical ... -
Love Wave Propagation in Vertical Heterogeneous Fiber-Reinforced Stratum Imperfectly Bonded to a Micropolar Elastic Substrate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The microstructure that lies within a continuum sometimes plays a very important role, and hence, mechanics associated with the microstructure cannot be disregarded during the study of elastodynamic problems in such a ... -

Optimal Support Spacing for Steel Sets: Omerler Underground Coal Mine in Western Turkey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents a method to determine the optimal set spacing for rigid-type galvanized I profile (GI) and Toussaint-Heintzmann (TH)–type yielding steel sets in Section A of the Omerler underground coal mine. The rock ... -
Establishing Heat-Transfer Mechanisms in Dry Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The heat-transfer phenomenon in dry sands, which is generally looked at from the perspective of conduction, was studied with the thermal flux method (TFM) proposed in the literature. However, when results from the TFM were ... -
Two-Dimensional Numerical Simulation of Rock Fragmentation by TBM Cutting Tools in Mixed-Face Ground
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In the study described in this paper, a general particle dynamics (GPD) code was developed to simulate rock fragmentation by tunnel-boring machine (TBM) cutters in mixed-face ground. In the GPD code, a novel algorithm of ... -
Stochastic Thermal-Mechanical Characteristics of Frozen Soil Foundation for a Transmission Line Tower in Permafrost Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The Qinghai–Tibet Power Transmission Line (QTPTL), crossing about 55 km of permafrost region, was constructed between July 21 and October 211. The long-term thermal-mechanical stabilities attract extensive attention because ... -
Vertical Uplift Capacity of Strip Plate Anchors Embedded Horizontally Adjacent to Cohesive-Frictional Soil Slopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The vertical uplift capacity of strip plate anchors buried in cohesive-frictional soil adjacent to a crest of slopes has been computed by using finite-element lower-bound limit analysis with a second-order conic optimization ... -
Stress Distribution below a Continuous Footing on Geotextile-Reinforced Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study investigated the additional vertical stress (Δσ) change occurring under the centerline of a continuous footing on geotextile-reinforced soil. For different reinforcement parameters and conditions, load tests and ... -

Discrete Element Analysis of the K0 of Granular Soil and Its Relation to Small Strain Shear Stiffness
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The discrete element method (DEM) was used to investigate the coefficient of earth pressure at rest, K, of granular soils. The results indicate that K decreases as the void ratio decreases and the vertical stress increases. ... -
Simulating Hydraulic and Mechanical Responses of Unsaturated Expansive Soil Slope to Rainfall: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents simulation results of the performance of an unsaturated expansive soil slope during artificial rainfall events from a field investigation. The field study, conducted on an intake canal of a major water ... -
Stability of Tunnel Roof in Nonhomogeneous Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The stability of tunnel roof is investigated in nonhomogeneous soils using the theory of plasticity. Based on the nonlinear failure criterion, the expressions of tunnel roof in nonhomogeneous soils are deduced, and the ... -
Predicting Excavation-Induced Settlement for Embedded Footing: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Analytical solutions are proposed to evaluate the average settlement under an embedded footing in an elastic soil. The rigid foundation was simplified as a uniformly loaded area. Four factors, the Gibson, trench, sidewall ... -
