Lateral Inertial Pile–Soil Interaction Using an Analytical Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe lateral inertial response of a single laterally loaded flexible pile embedded in soil with different depth-wise stiffness profiles is investigated using a recently developed two-parameter foundation model that ... -
Statistical Examination of the Shear Strength of Frozen and Unfrozen Fine-Grained Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractClimate change causes an increase in the temperature of permafrost. This increases the amount of unfrozen water in the permafrost soils, which will reduce their shear strengths. Such reductions may result in the ... -
Reliability of Axial Design Methods for Open Steel Piles Driven in Chalk
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe prediction of driving resistances and long-term axial capacities for piles driven in chalk suffers from considerable uncertainty that impacts many offshore and onshore projects. This paper assesses the reliability ... -
Ground Freezing for Sampling a Fluvial Sand in Norway
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractObtaining high-quality undisturbed sand samples remains a challenge. In this paper, a ground freezing for sampling campaign is presented in detail. The campaign, was performed at a sandy–silty research site, known ... -
Mechanical Behavior of Biocarbonizing Reactive Magnesia–Stabilized Soft Soil: Strength Control and Prediction Framework Based on Effective Carbonate-to-Magnesia Ratio
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractSoft soil is widely recognized as problematic due to its poor physical-mechanical properties. The biocarbonation of reactive magnesia (BCRM) technology has shown promise for the efficient stabilization of soft soil, ... -
