Rapid Drawdown Analysis of Levees
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Rapid drawdown (RDD) is an important stability design condition for the waterside slopes of levees. A framework for levee RDD analysis that evaluates both seepage and undrained shear strength (su) has been assessed in this ... -
Progressive Response and Dynamic Behavior of Loose Gravel–Sand Mixtures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Previous studies investigating dynamic responses of gravelly soil were limited to high-strain conditions, in which a high level of pore-water pressure is developed, leading to a significant reduction in shear strength and ... -
Pressure-Cycled Installation of Suction Buckets in Sand and Layered Soil Profiles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Installation refusal is a key design consideration for suction buckets. Pressure cycling, whereby the bucket is cycled vertically by reversing the pump flow, has been identified as one of the potential strategies to overcome ... -
Pressure Cycling of Suction Buckets in Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Suction buckets are being increasingly considered as foundations for offshore wind turbines, as they can be installed by pumping water from the interior of the bucket, minimizing acoustic emissions. A key design consideration ... -
Prediction of High-Speed Penetration in Layered Sand Using Cone Penetration Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The depth of burial (DoB) of projectiles penetrating soils at high velocities is of interest in a number of scientific and engineering applications. In this study, a phenomenological penetration model is presented for ... -
Analytical Solutions for Lateral Bearing Capacity of Piles in Nonhomogeneous Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)In routine design, the lateral bearing capacity of a single pile is commonly evaluated using analytical expressions which are derived under the hypothesis of rigid-plastic behavior of both the foundation soil and the pile ... -
Prediction and Analysis of Subsurface Settlement in a Double-Line Shield Tunnel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The original stress equilibrium state of the soil is destroyed after the excavation of the double-line shield tunnel, resulting in the settlement of the stratum above the tunnel and bringing adverse effects on the surface ... -
Pipeline–Soil Interaction Behavior: Acoustic Emission and Energy Dissipation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Acoustic emission (AE) offers the potential to monitor and interpret soil–pipe interaction behavior by sensing particle-scale interactions. However, application of AE is limited by gaps in understanding related to how ... -
Performance of Tire Cell Foundation as a Subballast Capping Layer under Cyclic Train Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This paper presents laboratory and field test results on the use of tire cell track foundation (TCTF) consisting of an assembly of infilled rubber tires to reinforce capping material below the ballast layer. Large-scale ... -
Suction Stress–Based Rainfall Intensity–Duration Method for Slope Instability Prediction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)A method directly using rainfall records to predict a slope’s potential instability is devised. The method consists of three sequential steps: identifying the critical suction stress (pore water pressure when soil is ... -
Pullout Capacity of Strip Anchors in Spatially Variable Soil. II: Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Plate anchors have been recognized as an attractive option for floating offshore structures due to their low cost and high effectiveness. The prediction of anchor pullout capacity often assumes a homogeneous sand with ... -
Pullout Capacity of Strip Anchors in Spatially Variable Soil. I: Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Natural soils often exhibit significant spatial variability due to their geological history of soil formation. As an attractive anchoring solution for floating offshore structures, this paper has investigated the pullout ... -
Regulating the Process of Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation through Applied Electric Fields: Evidence and Insights Using Microfluidics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Nonuniform cementation challenges may arise when employing microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) technology to treat problematic soils. Electrokinetic methods exhibit the potential to regulate the MICP ... -
The Ultimate State of Anchoring Systems from Integrated Analysis of a Plate Anchor and Mooring Line
