Slope Stability and Deformation Analysis of Bangalore MSW Landfills Using Constitutive Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Landfill stability and deformation analysis is one of the most important concerns in the design and operation of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. Estimation of landfill capacities based on the deformation characteristics ... -
Love Waves in Voigt-Type Viscoelastic Inhomogeneous Layer Overlying a Gravitational Half-Space
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016) -
Contact Algorithm for Determining Aperture Evolution of Rock Fracture during Shearing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A contact algorithm to determine the aperture evolution of a rock fracture during shearing is reported. The algorithm was based on a theoretical normal closure model and semianalytical dilation model and required only the ... -
NLP Optimization Model as a Failure Mechanism for Geosynthetic Reinforced Slopes Subjected to Pore-Water Pressure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The majority of slope failures are triggered by excessive rainfall and the consequent increase in pore-water pressure within the slope. This paper presents the results of a computer code that quantifies earth pressure ... -
Three-Dimensional Element Partition Method for Fracture Simulation

Hamiltonian-Based Derivation of the High-Performance Scaled-Boundary Finite-Element Method Applied to the Complex Multilayered Soil Field in Time Domain
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Wave propagation in a two-dimensional unbounded domain with rigid bedrock was studied. The study was based on the scaled-boundary finite-element method (SBFEM) combing the continued fraction method. The SBFEM is a novel ... -

Effect of Internal Friction and the Lamé Ratio on Stoneley Wave Propagation in Viscoelastic Media of Order 1
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The present work aims to study the propagation of Stoneley wave at the common interface of two distinct homogeneous viscoelastic semi-infinite media. The closed-form expression of the velocity equation has been obtained. ... -
Overturning Stability of a Rigid Retaining Wall for Foundation Pits in Unsaturated Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The soils surrounding foundation pits are commonly unsaturated, but routine anti-overturning calculations of retaining walls are conducted assuming saturated soil mechanics. The primary objective of this paper is to present ... -
Description of Inherent and Induced Anisotropy in Granular Media with Particles of High Sphericity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate that a significant degree of anisotropy may occur in particulate materials that have nearly spherical aggregates (i.e., are typically considered as isotropic) provided ... -

Effect of Soil Structure and Disturbance on Hydromechanical Behavior of Collapsible Loessial Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)To characterize the role of specimen disturbance and structure in the hydromechanical behavior of collapsible soils, two sets of wetting-induced collapse and suction-controlled triaxial tests were conducted on intact and ... -
3<i>N</i> Formulation of the Horizontal Slice Method in Evaluating Pseudostatic Method for Analysis of Seismic Active Earth Pressure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Analysis of seismic active earth pressure for a rigid or flexible retaining wall is one of the important topics of study in geotechnical earthquake engineering. Out of various methods, namely pseudostatic, pseudodynamic, ... -
Complete Compression Curves of Reconstituted Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Unlike that adopted in most existing compression models, the complete compression curve of reconstituted clays in the e − lnp′ space is S shaped. In this paper, an accurate S-shaped equation is proposed that is suitable ...
