Small Strain Path-Dependent Stiffness of Toyoura Sand: Laboratory Measurement and Numerical Implementation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017) -
Thermoplastic Analysis of a Thermoactive Pile in a Normally Consolidated Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The use of shallow geothermal systems for buildings and infrastructure conditioning has numerous recognized environmental and potential economic benefits and is expected to contribute to climate change mitigation. These ... -
Closed-Form Solution for Stability of Slurry Trenches
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper presents a variational limit equilibrium closed-form solution for the stability of slurry-supported trenches in cohesive soil, frictional cohesive soil, and cohesionless soil. Study results indicate that the ... -
Monotonic Direct Simple Shear Tests on Sand under Multidirectional Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Stress–strain responses of Leighton Buzzard sand are investigated under bidirectional shear. The tests are conducted by using the variable direction dynamic cyclic simple shear (VDDCSS). Soil samples are anisotropically ... -
Strain-Dependent Creep Behavior of Athabasca Oil Sand in Triaxial Compression
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Oil sand is a dense granular material with interlocking fabric. As a strain-softening material, oil sand exhibits a more complex creep behavior than that of strain-hardening geomaterials. The creep behavior of oil sand ... -
Improved Strength Criterion and Numerical Manifold Method for Fracture Initiation and Propagation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper develops a novel empirical strength criterion and proposes a manifold method for fracture initiation and propagation. First, to investigate the influencing factors of fractured rock mass strength, a set of ... -
3D Numerical Model for Piled Raft Foundation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Load sharing of piled raft foundations is known as an economical design for deep foundations. Nevertheless, research in this area has been lagging because of the complexity of the problem and lack of field data. Numerical ... -
Love Wave in a Voigt-Type Viscoelastic Heterogeneous Layer Overlying Heterogeneous Viscoelastic Half-Space
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017) -
Modeling the Dependency of Soil-Water Retention Curve on Volumetric Deformation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Porous models are built using the current pore-size distribution of the material and can reproduce the phenomenon of hysteresis during wetting–drying cycles. The term current pore-size distribution means that the size of ... -
Elastoplastic Constitutive Model for Rockfill Materials Considering Particle Breakage
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Particle breakage has a great influence on stress-strain behaviors of rockfill materials. A new relative breakage was proposed for rockfill materials. A critical state line incorporating particle breakage was termed as a ... -
Statistical Damage Constitutive Model for Rocks Considering Residual Strength
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017) -
Model Studies on Monopile Behavior under Long-Term Repeated Lateral Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Monopiles are the most commonly used foundation type for offshore wind turbine (OWT) structures and are characterized by relatively large geometric dimensions, compared with offshore pile foundations typically used in the ... -
Influence of Soil Models on Structural Performance of Buried Culverts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Analytical studies have shown repeatedly that soil stiffness plays a dominant role in influencing the structural behavior of buried culverts in loading environments; however, the relative effect of the soil-model formulation ... -
Rowe’s Stress-Dilatancy Theory for Hydrate-Bearing Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017) -
Experimental Characterizations of Contact Movement in Two-Dimensional Rod Assembly Subjected to Direct Shearing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This study explored the features of particle motion and, in particular, the associated movements at contacts in response to direct shearing. A tailor-made direct shear box equipped with an image system was set up. The ... -
Passive Earth Pressure of Normally and Overconsolidated Cohesionless Soil in Terms of Critical-State Soil Mechanics Parameters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Earth pressure theories occupy a paramount position in the field of geotechnical engineering. Passive earth pressure plays an important role in the design of retaining walls and anchors. Furthermore, it provides the resisting ... -
Sustainable Solution for Seawall Protection against Tsunami-Induced Damage
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)To protect coastal structures from the damage caused by the impact force of a tsunami, a new concept of using waste tires behind such structures is introduced in this paper. A physical model for tsunami impact force ... -
Axisymmetric Consolidation in Unsaturated Soil Deposit Subjected to Time-Dependent Loadings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper presents an analytical solution to predict the axisymmetric consolidation in unsaturated soil deposits subjected to different time-dependent loadings. The mathematical procedure uses the separation of variables ...
