Full-Scale Experimental Study on the Degradation of Pile-Supported Embankment due to Water Infiltration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractStress transfer within pile-supported embankments is influenced by soil arching, and this phenomenon is assumed to be water uptake-dependent. In this study, a full-scale model of high-speed railway pile-supported ... -
Comparison of the Cyclic Liquefaction Susceptibility of Calcareous and Siliceous Sand: An Energy-Based Perspective
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractCalcareous sands, which are prevalent in low latitude coastal regions, are commonly used as filling or foundation materials in onshore and offshore engineering projects. These sands possess unique geological and ... -
Liquefaction of EICP-Treated Sand with Fabric Anisotropy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractFabric anisotropy and cementation can significantly affect the liquefaction behavior of soils. In this study, specimens with different degrees of fabric anisotropy, prepared with air pluviation (AP) and moist tamping ... -
Boundary Effect Correction of the Infinite Slope Model for Saturated and Unsaturated Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025) -
Unsaturated Infinite Slope Stability Considering Surface Flux Conditions: A Correction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ... -
Three-Dimensional Interaction of Twin Tunnels: Numerical Analysis of the Waterloo International Terminal Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractBeing able to predict with precision and certainty how existing tunnels respond to new tunnelling works in urban areas is vital for the safety of the existing tunnels and for minimizing the cost and environmental ... -
Critical State Loci of Superheavy Iron Ore Tailings from Sampling in Brumadinho Reservoir
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe uniqueness of critical state loci remains uncertain, which is a factor of significant importance in tailing storage facilities in which these lines play a fundamental role in structure stability and design. ... -
Loosening Pressure in Unsaturated Ground: Shear Bands and Soil Arching
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe influence of groundwater levels on shallow tunnel excavation mechanisms was explored by analyzing loosening pressure, shear band development, and surface settlement observed in trapdoor tests conducted in ... -
LRFD Calibration for Internal Limit States of Steel Grid MSE Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe paper reports the methodology and results of load and resistance factor design (LRFD) calibration for tensile strength and pullout limit states for mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls constructed with ... -
Role of Soil–Well Interaction in the Transverse Kinematic Response of a Downhole Seismometer to S Waves: A Viscoelastic Solution
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe seismic signal received from a seismometer installed in a downhole well can be affected by soil–well interaction, leading to amplification or attenuation. This study presents a viscoelastic solution to the ... -
Strength and Deformation Characteristics of Sand–Rubber Mixtures under Torsional Shear Loadings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractGranulated sand–rubber mixtures have been widely employed in ground improvement. Previous studies have extensively investigated the mechanical behavior of such geomaterials under conventional triaxial conditions, ... -
Dynamic Bounding Surface Viscoplasticity for Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractExperimental evidence has demonstrated that time-dependent behavior of clays significantly relates to the overconsolidation ratio, which could not be comprehensively predicted by current overstress-based models. ... -
The Quay Walls of Amsterdam, Netherlands: An Approach for Collapse Risk Mitigation at the Municipal Scale Based on Multisource Monitoring and Surveying Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe City of Amsterdam is responsible for the maintenance of 600 km of historic quay walls, most of which are over 100 years old while others are 300 years old and are experiencing stability and ... -
Stress Ratio–Controlled Hardening Rule in the NorSand Framework
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe NorSand model is a Cambridge-type soil model based on critical state theory, designed to simulate the monotonic behavior of sand. Cambridge-type models use an associated flow rule, with their yield surface ... -
Mechanical and Hydraulic Behavior of Composite Soils Containing Coral Gravel and Silt Matrix: Insights from the Revised Soil Classification System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractCoral gravel soils (CGS) exhibit fundamentally different geotechnical behaviors compared to terrestrial soils due to the unique biological origins of coral. CGS’s mechanical and hydraulic properties are governed ... -
Wetting and Drying of Compacted Soils under Laterally Restrained Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractCompacted soils are components of geo-infrastructure applications that are unsaturated at the time of placement. Their responses to climate change, in the form of prolonged summers and wet winters, can be complex. ... -
