Optimized Control of Seepage and Deformation in a Dam Foundation on Thick Overburden Deposits Considering Coupled Hydromechanical Effects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Dams are often constructed on thick overburden deposits when a complete removal of the overburden becomes cost-prohibitive. This may induce an intense coupling between seepage and deformation in the deposits owing to their ... -
Shear Failure Behavior and a Shear Strength Prediction Model of Unbonded Rock–Cement Interface
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Grouting has been widely used in the reinforcement of jointed rock masses, and the interface between the rock and cement serves as a crucial binary interface in controlling the strength effect after grouting. In order to ... -
Seismic Reliability Assessment of Slopes Reinforced with Antislide Piles under the Action of Random Mainshock–Aftershock Sequences via the PDEM and Newmark Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Antislide piles are currently applied widely in slope reinforcement engineering, but investigation of the stability of slopes stabilized with this measure under the action of mainshock–aftershock (Ms-As) sequences is very ... -
Evolution of Soil Arching–Induced Deformation and Stress Redistribution in the Ground with an Existing Tunnel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The mechanism of an existing tunnel on the evolution of soil arching effect is not fully understood. This study systematically investigates the issue via a validated FEM with consideration of the distance between the ... -
An Experimental Study on the Effect of Desulfurized Gypsum on Geopolymer-Solidified Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Soft soil foundations need to be reinforced because of their low bearing capacity and susceptibility to deformation. Ordinary portland cement (OPC) is widely used in foundation treatment due to its strong mechanical ... -
Analytical and Numerical Modeling Approaches for Estimating the Optimum Line of Extraction in Continuous Miner Workings with Field Observations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The line of extraction in Bord and Pillar (B&P) or Room and Pillar methods plays a paramount role in the extraction of coal pillars in underground mines. It is an important factor that has to be decided at the premining ... -
Performance of Geosynthetic-Encased Stone Columns in Sandy Soils Subjected to Vertical Cyclic Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The stone column encasement is a widespread ground improvement technique that effectively improves the engineering characteristics of weak and compressible soils with excessive settlement problems under vertical loadings. ... -
Analytical Derivation of the Secular Equation for Surface Waves in an Imperfectly Bonded Complex Structure Employing the GN-III Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)In this thorough study, the examination explores the Rayleigh-type surface wave propagation in an imperfectly bonded layered structure. The present study adopts the conceptual framework of the Green–Naghdi model type III ... -
Particle Swarm Optimization of Interface Constitutive Model Parameters for Embedded Beam Formulations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The numerical simulation of boundary value problems involving a high number of pile-type structures, such as pile foundation systems of high-rise buildings, represents a standard task in computational geotechnics. Due to ... -
Particle Size Effect on the Evolution of Stress and Fabric in Granular Materials under True Triaxial Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Particle size significantly influences the macroscopic and microscopic responses of granular materials. The main purpose of previous works was to investigate the macroscopic response, but the influence of particle size on ... -
Particle Breakage Characteristics of Marine Coral Sand under Cyclic Shear Loading Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Coral sand is widely distributed in offshore oil and gas basins, and beneath the foundations of offshore wind turbines that are exposed to persistent cyclic loads, including wind, ocean waves, and seismic activity. Under ... -
Optimization of the Joint Structure Between Asphalt Concrete Core and Concrete Plinth in Earthen Dams Based on the Response Surface Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The joint structure between the asphalt concrete core and the concrete plinth is a critical and vulnerable part of the asphalt concrete core dam (ACCD). Shape parameters of the core–plinth joint structure are directly ... -
One-Dimensional Large-Strain Thaw Thermoconsolidation Model for Frozen Saturated Soil under High Temperature
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The existing theories or numerical models of thaw consolidation for frozen soil rarely consider the influence of the thermal effect, so it is difficult to analyze the problem of thaw thermoconsolidation for frozen soil ... -
