Discrete Element Simulations of Shallow Plate-Load Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Shallow plate-load tests were simulated using a two-dimensional discrete element procedure together with parameters calibrated from a series of biaxial compression experiments on aluminum rods. The deformation and force ... -
Volume Change Consideration in Determining Unsaturated Soil Properties for Geotechnical Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A common underlying assumption in the development of soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs) is that the soil is sufficiently stiff such that no changes occur in the volume of the soil associated with soil-suction change. ... -
Optimization of Vibrocompaction Design for Liquefaction Mitigation of Gravity Caisson Quay Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Gravity-type caisson walls are a type of popular but easily damaged waterfront construction structure, especially in seismic regions. Various forms of mitigation have been successfully applied to improve their performance ... -
Stress-Dilatancy Relationship of Zipingpu Gravel under Cyclic Loading in Triaxial Stress States
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In this study, cyclic triaxial tests were performed on Zipingpu gravel, and they were followed by a discrete element study that was designed to investigate the stress-dilatancy relationship of gravelly soils under cyclic ... -

Effect of Heterogeneity, Irregularity, and Reinforcement on the Stress Produced by a Moving Load on a Self-Reinforced Composite Half-Space
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The present study deals with the stress produced in an irregular heterogeneous self-reinforced composite half-space due to a load acting as a shearing force and moving along the free surface. The expression of shear stress ... -
Vertical Stress Isobars for Silos and Square Backfilled Mine Stopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Often granular materials are stored in vertical containers with circular or square cross sections. The storage material can be food grains, pharmaceutical powders, chemical pellets, or geomaterials such as mine fills. The ... -
Three-Dimensional Nonlinear Dynamic Strength Criterion for Rock
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)It is assumed that rocks contain three-dimensional (3D) penny-shaped microcracks. The Mode II and III dynamic stress-intensity factors at the tips of 3D penny-shaped microcracks are determined. The orientation angle of ... -
Mechanical Behavior of Granular Materials under Continuously Varying b Values Using DEM
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The influence of the intermediate stress ratio on the mechanical behavior of granular materials under generalized stress conditions is not well understood, particularly in regard to relationships between macroscale behavior ... -
Propagation of Torsional Surface Wave in an Anisotropic Porous Medium over a Dry Sandy Half-Space
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The present paper deals with the propagation of torsional surface waves in an anisotropic porous layer over an inhomogeneous dry sandy half-space. The shear modulus of elasticity and density has been considered as variable ... -
