Effect of Smear Distribution on the Load-Bearing Mechanisms of Rock-Socketed Piles in Soft Rocks
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)The design of rock-socketed pile foundations requires careful consideration of critical construction aspects such as the socket roughness and smear for accurately estimating the shaft load capacity. Despite the effect of ... -
Axial Cyclic and Static Behavior of FRP Composite Seawater–Sea Sand Concrete Piles Ended in a Rock Socket
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)Pile foundations supporting high-rise buildings are generally subject to cyclic loading because of dynamic loading. The corrosion of steel materials in pile foundations is another major concern, especially for piles in a ... -
Causes of High Internal Pore Pressure in a Downward-Draining MSW Landfill
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)A two-phase liquid/gas flow numerical model has been used to investigate the presence of elevated pore water pressures in a 20-m-deep municipal solid wastes (MSW) landfill underlain by a fully drained leachate collection ... -
Investigations into the Uplift of Skirted Foundations on Clay at Varying Rates
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)This paper presents finite-element simulations to reinterpret a series of full-model and particle image velocimetry (PIV) (half model) centrifuge tests to study the uplift of skirted foundations. The focus is on the influence ... -
Bearing Performance of Finned Suction Caissons under Combined VHMT Loading in Clay
(ASCE, 2024/05/01)This paper reports numerical investigations on the bearing performance of a novel finned suction caisson foundation under combined vertical, horizontal, moment, and torsional loading in clay. From comprehensive comparison ... -
Sustainable Landfill Liner Using Local Soils and Wastes Amended with Bentonite: Hydraulic Conductivity and Stochastic Leachate Transport Modeling
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)Groundwater quality can be deteriorated by leachate that seeps through the landfills. Placing a low permeable barrier beneath the landfill is a cost-effective approach to protect the subsurface environment. Recently local ... -
Nanosilica Grout Permeation in Sand: Experimental Investigation and Modeling
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)Low-pressure injection of nanosilica aqueous suspensions is often adopted to either waterproof or increase the liquefaction resistance of granular soils. The basic principle behind this ground improvement technique consists ... -
Soil–Water Retention Curve Determination for Sands Using the Filter Paper Method
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)The filter paper (FP) method, a cost-effective, versatile, and convenient approach, has found extensive application in analyzing fine-grained soils, enabling the successful measurement of a broad spectrum of total and ... -
A Comparative Study on Shear Behavior of Uniform-, Gap-, and Fractal-Graded Carbonate Soils
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)This paper presents a comparative study on shear responses at the phase transformation, peak, and critical states together with the evolution of particle breakage of uniform-, gap- and fractal-graded carbonate soils. A ... -
Predicting Wall Deflections for Deep Excavations with Servo Struts in Soft Clay
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)Axial forces can be artificially adjusted in deep excavations braced with servo struts to reduce excavation-induced deformations. The interactions among the servo strut, retaining wall, and retained soil must be considered ... -
Sustainability and Resilience Assessment of a Reinforced Concrete Bridge Subjected to Liquefaction-Induced Lateral Spreading
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)Carbon footprint considerations have become one of the significant concerns in the construction and rehabilitation of public infrastructure. As such, sustainability metrics using carbon footprint are of particular significance ... -
Hysteretic Damping of Piles in Sands for Offshore Wind Jacket Structures
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)This paper presents a study on the hysteretic damping of cyclic axially loaded piles in sand that would be of particular interest to the design and analysis of offshore wind turbine (OWT) jacket structures. Foundation ... -
A Study of the Drained Strength Characteristics of Overconsolidated Clays at Low Effective Stresses
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)This paper presents the results of a study to determine the drained strength parameters of overconsolidated clays at low effective stresses. Overconsolidated clays experience dilation when sheared under undrained conditions ... -
Settlement Prediction of the Ballina Embankment, Australia, Considering Creep
(ASCE, 2024/05/01)The prediction of time-dependent deformations of embankments constructed on soft soils is essential for preloading or surcharge design. The predictions can be obtained by Bayesian back analysis methods progressively based ... -
Multifidelity Constitutive Modeling of Stress-Induced Anisotropic Behavior of Clay
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)Rigorous modeling of the stress-induced anisotropy of soils with different stress histories and loading conditions typically requires advanced constitutive models. However, calibration of state-of-the-art constitutive ... -
