Cyclic Behavior of Kaolin Clay under Undrained Conditions: Role of Microfabric
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The role of microfabric in the undrained cyclic behavior of kaolin clay is a topic of considerable interest but is yet to be fully understood. This paper presents new experimental data and analysis to address the topic. ... -
Centrifuge and Numerical Investigation of Loose Hydraulic Fill Supported by DCM Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)With an increasing amount of land reclamation being built in deep water, a recent design approach involving the use of hydraulic fill on floating deep cement mixing (DCM) columns has emerged. However, the load-transfer ... -
Analysis of Wave-Driven Residual Pore Water Pressure and Liquefaction in Sloping Seabed Supporting Marine Structures Considering Effect of Initial Static Shear Stresses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Waves can cause significant accumulation of pore water pressure and liquefaction in seabed soils, leading to instability of foundations of marine hydrokinetic devices (MHKs). Geostatic shear stresses (existing around ... -
DEM Exploration of Stress Transmission and Small Strain Behavior of Rubber Sand Mixtures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This paper presents a method to create rubber clumps without significant volume loss within the framework of the discrete-element method (DEM), enhancing the understanding of particle-scale stress transmission and small ... -
Grouting-Induced Soil Behavior in Structured Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Grouting below the tunnel invert is commonly used to remediate the settlement. Case histories demonstrate that the tunnel settlement still develops after the grouting is completed, especially in structured clay. The principal ... -
Performance of Various Geosynthetic-Reinforced Embankment and Foundation Systems Subjected to Reverse Fault Movement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This paper presents reduced model tests on geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) embankment and foundation systems subjected to reverse fault movements. Three types of reinforced foundations—soil foundations reinforced with ... -
Effects of Curing Temperature and Stress on Small-Strain Stiffness of Cemented Marine Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The deep cement mixing (DCM) method is widely used for ground improvement, with soils within DCM columns often subjected to varying curing temperatures (Tc) and curing stresses (Sc). Their effects on shear stiffness at ... -
Influence of Stratigraphic Variability and Ground Motion Properties on the Effectiveness of Dense Granular Columns as Liquefaction Mitigation for Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The current practice of designing dense granular columns (DGCs) to mitigate liquefaction is based on assumptions of uniformly layered deposits of relatively shallow, saturated, continuous, clean sand with no structure. As ... -
Characterization of the Correlative Relationship between PCPT Radial and In Situ Horizontal Coefficients of Consolidation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The coefficient of radial consolidation (cr) obtained from the piezocone penetration test (PCPT) differs in value from that of horizontal consolidation (ch) that is commonly adopted in the design of prefabricated vertical ... -
Factors Affecting Liquefaction Triggering of Granular Soils in Laboratory Testing
