Performance of Axially Loaded-Piled Retaining Wall: Experimental and Numerical Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The piled wall has other applications in addition to supporting the excavation, such as use as part of the permanent work/foundation. It also can be used to reduce or eliminate the need for a separate foundation by carrying ... -
Parallel Computing of Discontinuous Deformation Analysis Based on Graphics Processing Unit
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The performance of discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) needs to be improved for large-scale analysis. In this study, the contact detection and open-close iteration, as the bottlenecks of DDA computing, are reimplemented ... -
Slope-Stability Assessments Using Finite-Element Limit-Analysis Methods

Correlations of Uniaxial Compressive Strength of Rock Mass with Conventional Strength Properties through Random Number Generation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)There has been a lot of interest in the relationship between uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and other properties of rock. Evaluation of rock parameters such as cohesion, Young’s modulus, angle of friction, and Poisson’s ... -
Direct Approach to Treatment of Contact in Numerical Manifold Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The numerical manifold method (NMM) is suitable for the solution of both continuous and discontinuous problems in geotechnical engineering. In the conventional NMM, the contact between blocks is treated with the open-close ... -

Object-Oriented Contact Detection Approach for Three-Dimensional Discontinuous Deformation Analysis Based on Entrance Block Theory
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Compared with two-dimensional (2D) contact cases, three-dimensional (3D) contact problems are more complicated in both contact geometry representation and contact detection. The entrance block theory proposed by Shi lays ... -
Limit-Equilibrium Method for Reinforced Slope Stability and Optimum Design of Antislide Micropile Parameters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Antislide micropiles can effectively reinforce slopes and improve their stability. To introduce the mechanical mechanisms of micropiles in slope stability analysis, this work adopted a reasonable failure mode for the ... -
Improved Probabilistic Kinematic Analysis Procedure Based on Finite Size Discontinuities and Its Application to a Rock Slope at Open Pit Mine in U.S.
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)An improved probabilistic kinematic analysis procedure is suggested incorporating the six steps listed in the paper. The variability of the shear strength and discontinuity orientation is taken into account in the probabilistic ... -
Modeling Essential Elastoplastic Features of Compacted Silty Sand via Suction-Controlled Triaxial Testing
