Effect of Reinforcement and Inhomogeneity on the Propagation of Love Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The aim of this paper is to investigate the propagation of Love waves in an anisotropic fiber-reinforced layer over an elastic inhomogeneous stratum. The inhomogeneity of the half-space has been taken as a linear variation ... -
Fluid Flow through Rough Rock Fractures: Parametric Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016) -
Simplified Approach to Estimate Lateral Load on Drilled Shafts Resulting from a Heavily Loaded Adjacent Shallow Foundation Using Horizontal Stress Isobars

Load-Displacement and Moment-Rotation Responses of Foundations Subjected to Moment Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This study investigated the response of rigid surface foundations to moment loading based on nonlinear (hyperbolic) soil response. The response of a rectangular foundation on the surface of the ground was modeled as a ... -
Slope Stability Analysis Based on Experimental Design

Pipelines Subjected to Fault Movement in Dry and Unsaturated Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Because pipelines traverse large geographical areas, they frequently must cross active faults when constructed in locations vulnerable to earthquakes. In this study, the authors performed three-dimensional (3D) finite-element ... -
Hydromechanical Modeling of Unsaturated Flow in Double Porosity Media
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Geomaterials with aggregated structure or containing fissures often exhibit a bimodal pore size distribution that can be viewed as two coexisting pore regions of different scales. The double-porosity concept enables continuum ... -
Performance of Neumann Expansion Preconditioners for Iterative Methods with Geotechnical Elastoplastic Applications

Pitfalls in Interpretation of Gravimetric Water Content–Based Soil-Water Characteristic Curve for Deformable Porous Media
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Pitfalls in the common approaches to obtaining material parameters from soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs) are discussed, and the typical mistakes made in the literature are highlighted. Particular attention is given ... -
Discussion of “Tall Oedometer Testing: Method to Account for Wall Friction” by Julie Lovisa and Nagaratnam Sivakugan

Theoretical Analysis and Experimental Research on Multiscale Mechanical Properties of Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The skeleton of soil, which consists of soil particles at various scales, is a complex granular material and displays multiscale and hierarchical mechanical properties. The coupling effects of deformations at different ... -
Transformations of Obliquely Striking Waves at a Rock Joint: Numerical Simulations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Knowledge of wave propagation across rock joints is necessary for understanding distinctions between wave attenuation and lithology. Whenever a propagating seismic wave strikes a rock joint at an angle not normal to the ... -

Analytical Prediction of Ground Movements due to a Nonuniform Deforming Tunnel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)An analytical solution is presented to predict ground movement induced by a nonuniformly deforming circular tunnel in a heavy elastic half-plane. Simple expression is proposed to describe the nonuniform soil deformation ...
