Assessments of Liquefaction Triggering Using In Situ and Laboratory Tests in Pohang, South Korea
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The 2017 Pohang earthquake [the second largest local magnitude (ML) of 5.4 since 1978] caused significant damage: numerous sand boils and a few building settlements were observed in rice paddies and residential areas, ... -
Unravelling Champlain Clay Subsidence: Integrating Persistent Scatterer InSAR and Finite-Element Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Excessive decline in pore pressure in fine-grained soils can lead to substantial land subsidence, a phenomenon increasingly observed worldwide amid the water crisis linked to climate change. The presence of soft and sensitive ... -
Time-Dependent Characteristics of Coral Sand under Triaxial Stress States
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Time-dependent effects of soils have been widely recognized as a key issue, which is particularly evident for coral sand due to its high frangibility. To determine the time-dependent behaviors of coral sand under triaxial ... -
Threshold of Cyclic Phenomena
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Granular materials subjected to cyclic loading are characterized by changes in their shear modulus, pore water pressure, and volume. These changes occur when the amplitude of the cyclic shear strain exceeds the cyclic ... -
The Mineralogical Composition and Mechanical Characteristics of Selected European Coal Mining Waste Samples and Their Experimental Correlation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Globally, there is a vast amount of coal mining waste (CMW) currently stored in spoil tips and tailing dams, presenting a significant source of potentially recoverable geomaterial for construction and geotechnical applications. ... -
A General Model for Temperature-Dependent Soil Suction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Soil suction is a crucial parameter that affects the behavior of unsaturated soils. The impact of temperature on suction can lead to significant changes in the hydromechanical response of unsaturated soils. However, current ... -
Suction Stress of Soil Slurry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Suction stress, the part of effective stress induced by soil–water interaction, is the source for the intrinsic cohesion of fine-grained soil slurries. Here, the previous unified effective stress equation is generalized ... -
Study of Gas Jets in Structured Loess Compaction Using a Numerical and Experimental Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)In this work, the effect of gas jets used in the deep vertical vibratory compaction technique are studied. Gas jets play a vital role in treating structured loess foundations by the pneumatic-vibratory probe compaction ... -
Stress-Based CPTu Cyclic Liquefaction Triggering Procedures: Improvements from a State Parameter Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The study of the liquefaction phenomenon and its consequences has been of permanent research interest in geotechnical earthquake engineering due to the wide recognition of its significant damage potential. However, despite ... -
Statistical Crushing of Hollow Calcareous Sediments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Whereas the crushing of solid soil particles has been studied for decades, there is very little research performed on the micromechanics of hollow particles crushing. In this paper a statistical model based on the principles ... -
Stability and Factor of Safety of Gravity-Retaining Structures Using the Strength Reduction Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The stability of gravity-retaining structures has traditionally been checked within the limit equilibrium framework. However, limit equilibrium methods require that prior assumptions be made regarding the collapse mechanism ... -
Spring-Based Trapdoor Tests Evaluating Pile-Supported Load Transfer Platforms with Different Fill Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Load transfer platform (LTP) plays an important role in load transfer between piles and subsoil in pile-supported embankments over soft soils. This study conducted spring-based trapdoor tests to investigate the load transfer ... -
Soil Arching Mechanisms Resulting from Excess Pore Pressure Dissipation Following Blast-Induced Liquefaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)This paper evaluates the stress changes and settlements following dissipation of local, 3D excess pore pressure fields induced by controlled blasting. Field data gathered during a blasting experiment in medium dense sand ... -
Shake-Table Test Study of Dynamic Response of Soil–Pile Interaction System in Seasonally Frozen Soil Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The presence of frozen soil layers leads to stratification in soil stiffness, thereby influencing the dynamic response of pile foundations in seasonally frozen soil regions. This study investigated the dynamic response of ... -
