Strength Behavior of Temperature-Dependent MICP-Treated Soil
(ASCE, 2023/12/01)Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a novel soil-strengthening technique that involves a biogeochemical process. Temperature plays a crucial role in influencing the biological and chemical processes ... -
Classification of Sand Using Deep Learning
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)Identifying sands is an important requirement in many geotechnical exploration projects. Knowledge of the sand type can help in estimating the physical and mechanical properties of a soil. Previous studies revealed that ... -
A Framework for Simulating the Evolution of Underwater Landslides and Its Application to Slope Failures in Swiss Lakes
(ASCE, 2023/12/01)Destructive underwater mass movements can impose a threat to off-shore infrastructure and near-shore communities. Yet predicting their formation and failure mechanisms remains a major challenge, in part due of the large ... -
Seismic Slope Displacement Procedure for Interface and Intraslab Subduction Zone Earthquakes
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)The seismic performance assessment of earth slopes and systems requires an estimate of the seismically-induced slope displacement (D). Modified Newmark-type analyses are useful to develop an estimate of D. Most simplified ... -
Effects of Displacement Hardening on the Seismic Design of Anchored Walls
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)A reliable assessment of earthquake-induced permanent displacements is a fundamental step for both displacement-based and force-based methods applied to the seismic design of embedded anchored walls. Acceleration reduction ... -
Cementation Stress Characteristic Curve for Sands Treated by Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation
(ASCE, 2023/12/01)Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) has been widely studied as an innovative method for ground improvement applications by taking advantage of the cementation effect of the porous geomaterial and thus enhancing ... -
Energy-Based Liquefaction Triggering Model
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)The most commonly used approach for evaluating liquefaction triggering is via stress-based simplified models. Proposed herein is a model for evaluating liquefaction triggering where the imposed loading and ability of the ... -
Multiaxial Behavior of Compacted Artificially Lightly Cemented Sands
(ASCE, 2023/12/01)The multiaxial behavior of an artificially lightly cemented sand was investigated using the cubical cell apparatus (CCA). Two different cement–sand blends were prepared by compaction at different densities and cement ... -
Load Response and Soil Displacement Field for a Vertically Loaded Strip Footing on Sand Underlain by a Stiff Base
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)Traditional bearing capacity theories assume that a foundation element is supported by a thick, uniform soil deposit. However, natural soil deposits are often stratified, i.e., a soil layer of finite thickness could ... -
An Axial Load Transfer Model for Piles Driven in Chalk
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)Chalk is encountered under large areas of Northern Europe and other locations worldwide, and a wide range of onshore and offshore structures are founded on piles driven in chalk. The safe and economical design of these ... -
Soil Arching Effect Associated with Ground Movement and Stress Transfer Adjacent to Braced Excavation in Clayey Ground
(ASCE, 2023/12/01)A field test for investigating the soil arching effect behind the diaphragm wall was carried out in an average 17-meter-deep, braced excavation in the normally-consolidated clayey ground. Horizontal and vertical ground ... -
Fiber-Optic Monitoring of a Twin Circular Shaft Excavation: Development of Circumferential Forces and Bending Moments in Diaphragm Walls
(ASCE, 2023/12/01)This study investigated the behavior of a 38-m deep twin circular peanut-shaped cofferdam interconnected with a rectangular section for cut-and-cover tunnel construction using distributed fiber-optic sensors (DFOSs) based ... -
Gentle Driving of Piles at a Sandy Site Combining Axial and Torsional Vibrations: Quantifying the Influence of Pile Installation Method on Lateral Behavior
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)Gentle driving of piles (GDP) is a new technology for the vibratory installation of tubular (mono) piles that aims to achieve both efficient installation and low noise emission by combining axial and torsional vibrations. ... -
Sands Subjected to Repetitive Loading Cycles and Associated Granular Degradation
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)This study examines the load-deformation response of sands subjected to high- and low-stress cycles, i.e., both ends of the Wöhler’s fatigue curve. At high peak cyclic stress σf, the terminal void ratio decreases with ... -
Compressibility, Structure, and Leaching Assessments of an Alluvium Stabilized with a Biochar–Slag Binder
(ASCE, 2023/12/01)Deep dry soil mixing is a ground improvement technique commonly used for treating soft soils. Portland cement is the most commonly used binder, but its long-term use is unsustainable due to the high CO2 emissions associated ... -
