Thermomechanical Analysis and Parametric Study of Geothermal Energy Piles in Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Response of geothermal energy piles in sand under combined thermal and mechanical loading was investigated in the present work using a nonlinear axisymmetric finite-element (FE) analysis procedure. In this study, the piles ... -
Limit Analysis Method for Evaluating Soil Resistance to Lateral Motions of Pipelines Partially Embedded in a Seafloor
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The lateral soil resistance available to pipelines partially embedded in a seafloor is of interest in evaluating pipeline lateral buckling capacity, stability under forces resulting from current loads, or route pullout ... -

Shape Effect of Square and Circular Footing under Vertical Loading: Experimental and Numerical Studies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)In this study, three-dimensional finite-element models incorporating a Mohr-Coulomb elastoplastic material model were validated for the evaluation of the shape effect of square and circular surface footings under vertical ... -
Relative Seismic Risk Evaluation of Various Buildings Based on an Input Wave Field
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Seismic responses of various buildings are calculated by a three-dimensional (3D) linear method for examining the soil-building interaction based on an input seismic wave field in the reclaimed zone of Tokyo Bay in which ... -
Horizontal Dynamic Stiffness and Interaction Factors of Inclined Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)A Timoshenko beam-on-Pasternak foundation (T-P) model was developed to estimate the horizontal dynamic impedance and interaction factors for inclined piles subjected to horizontal harmonic load. The inclined pile with a ... -
Pre-Liquefaction and Post-Liquefaction Responses of Axially Loaded Piles in Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper presents a methodology for predicting the mobilized response of axially loaded piles in sands in the states of pre-liquefaction and post-liquefaction. The proposed procedure calculates shaft and skin resistance ... -
Effect of Pore-Water Pressure on 3D Stability of Rock Slope
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The strength envelopes of almost all types of rocks are nonlinear over a wide range of normal stresses. This paper presents a study in which the nonlinear Hoek-Brown failure criterion was adopted and the kinematical approach ... -

Analytical Approach of the Arching Dual Effect Describing the Stability of Slurry-Wall Trenches in Cohesionless Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Stability of slurry trenches is an important issue during the construction of groundwater cutoff and diaphragm walls and, thus, has gradually drawn additional attention. With the aim of controlling the stability and collapse ... -
A New Solution to Assess the Required Strength of Mine Backfill with a Vertical Exposure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Backfilling is commonly applied to aid pillar recovery in open stope mines. The backfill must then remain self-standing in the primary stope when mining an adjacent secondary stope. The design of exposed fill is often based ... -
Coupled Effects of Pore-Water Pressure Evolution, Slope Curvature, and Mass Variation on the Kinematics of Rapidly Sliding Fine-Grained Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The analysis of the complex kinematics of fine-grained masses, from the moment they rapidly slide along mountain streams until they stop, is crucial to the identification of potentially vulnerable areas and the design of ... -
Research on the Particle Breakage of Rockfill Materials during Triaxial Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Particle breakage modifies a rockfill structure, influencing its dilatancy, friction angle, strength, and permeability, as well as generating creep deformation, wetting deformation, and residual strain under a seismic load. ... -
Bearing Capacity of Foundations with Inclusion of Dense Sand Layer over Loose Sand Strata
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The lower- and upper-bound finite-element limit analysis in conjunction with second-order conic programming (SOCP) was used to estimate the ultimate bearing capacity of strip and circular footings with an inclusion of a ... -
