Experimental Study of Pile Group Bridge Failure Mechanism Caused by Liquefaction-Induced Lateral Spreading
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)In this paper, we study the seismic behavior of pile group bridges in inclined liquefiable soil and reveal the failure mechanism by conducting large-scale shaking table tests. Two bridge models were supported by two ... -
Stability Analysis for Three-Dimensional Earth-Retaining Structures Subjected to Rainfall Based on a Modified Green–Ampt Model
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)The active earth pressure of earth-retaining structures (ERSs) is highly dependent on rainfall infiltration. In prior studies, ERS stability was primarily explored based on backfills under unsaturated steady flows or those ... -
Predicting the Critical Grout Pressure in Anisotropic Rocks Based on the Maximum Energy Release Rate Criterion
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)The grout pressure is one of the most significant parameters during grout injection into a jointed rock mass. Applying a low injection pressure reduces the penetration length and causes poor injection, while applying a ... -
Establishing Hoek–Brown Strength Parameters for Artificially Cemented Soils: Practical Methodology
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)The strength behavior of rocks is a question of complex determination. The Hoek–Brown failure criterion for rock masses is the currently accepted solution to this problem and has been applied to a large number of projects ... -
Low-Frequency Characteristics of Vibrations Induced by Transient Unloading of In Situ Stress and Its Influence on Safety of a Deeply Buried Tunnel

Investigation on One-Dimensional Nonlinear Thermal Consolidation of Saturated Clay under the Impeded Drainage Boundary
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)Temperature changes affect the nonlinear consolidation process in soils, and there is limited associated theoretical research. In this study, the governing equations for nonlinear consolidation and thermal conduction are ... -
Assessing and Improving the Quality of Dispersion Images Using the MASW Technique for Ground Exploration
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)An approach has been proposed to assess the quality of the dispersion plot extracted from the dispersion image obtained based on the multichannel analysis of the surface waves (MASW) technique. The variation of the quality ... -
Analysis of Twin Large Circular Footings on a Geocell-Reinforced Bed Using Response Surface Method
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)The pressure-settlement response and failure mechanism behavior of two interacting rigid rough identical footings resting on geocell-reinforced sand is investigated using finite-difference software, FLAC3D. The geocell is ... -
Evaluation of the Influences of Preloading on Soft Soil for Airport Runway Construction
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)The construction of airport runways or other infrastructures on soft soil might risk damage and create potential hazards if inappropriate foundation treatments have been conducted. Preloading on soft soil is a commonly ... -
