Numerical Analysis of the Impact of Reinforcement Stiffness on the Evolution of Maximum Tensile Load at Incipient Failure in MSE Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractReinforcement stiffness (J) plays an important role in the performance of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls. However, the impact of J on the maximum tensile load (Tmax) of reinforcements at incipient failure ... -
Evaluation of Liquefaction Ejecta Potential from Case Histories and Insights from Nonlinear Dynamic Analyses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractHigh-quality data from 24 benchmark liquefaction case histories from Christchurch (New Zealand) and data from 123 global case histories were used to develop a family of empirical relationships for estimating the ... -
Depletion of Antioxidants in Tensioned HDPE Geomembranes Exposed to Synthetic MSW Leachate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractGeomembranes (GMs) used in the liner systems of waste containment facilities can be subjected to tensile strain due to various field conditions. Antioxidant depletion under such strain may compromise the long-term ... -
Coupled Large Deformation and Contaminant Transport in Low-Permeability Clay Layers: Role of Threshold Hydraulic Gradient
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractNatural low-permeability clay is usually used as underlying layers at dredged sludge disposal sites. Both laboratory and field measurements of clay settlement revealed the existence of a threshold hydraulic gradient ... -
Direction-Dependent Skin Friction between Snakeskin-Inspired Surfaces and Piles and Normally Consolidated Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractDriven or jacked foundation elements typically mobilize similar interface shear strengths when loaded in tension and compression, leading to challenges associated with hard installation conditions when the skin ... -
Assessment and Interpretation of the Random Field Parameters for Spatially Variable Soil Using Ball and Cone Penetrometers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractNatural soils inherently exhibit spatial variability, which is crucial for the reliability of foundations. However, due to spatial averaging and weakest path effects, interpreting random field parameters of soil ... -
Quantifying the Impact of the Inherent Coupling of Particle-Scale Variability on Granular Soil Behavior: A Micromechanical Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThis study investigates how the inherent discreteness and coupled variability of particle-scale properties, specifically interparticle friction (μs) and shear modulus (Gp), affect macroscale soil behavior. To achieve ... -
Modeling Cyclic Volumetric Strain Accumulation in Sand under Drained Simple Shear Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThis study presents a critical state two-surface plasticity model formulated such that it accurately simulates the volumetric behavior of sands under drained cyclic simple shear (CSS) loading. The model is based ... -
Predicting the Soil Freezing Curve via a Modified Clapeyron Equation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThe soil freezing curve (SFC) is a constitutive equation describing unfrozen soil-water content and temperature under subzero conditions (below 273.15 K). The SFC governs various mechanical and hydrological ... -
Failure Mechanisms of Permafrost Bluff in Utqiaġvik, Alaska
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe Arctic is experiencing accelerated warming at up to four times the rate of temperate regions, driving permafrost thawing and ground ice melting, which, in turn lead to coastal bluff failure and accelerated ... -
Soil Pore Water Pressure Induced by Adsorption and Capillarity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractPore water pressure serves as a cornerstone for controlling various soil behaviors. In soils, both capillarity and adsorption contribute to pore water pressure. Capillarity exists in large soil pores when soil is ... -
