Correlation between Shear-Wave Velocity and Dynamic Cone Resistance for Gravelly Soil
(ASCE, 7/14/2023 )Developing empirical correlations between the shear-wave velocity (Vs) and the standard penetration test (SPT) blow count has been a long-term practice for sandy, silty, and clayey soils. However, the existing correlations ... -
Influence of Spudcan Penetration on Adjacent Skirted Foundation in Uniform Clay
(ASCE, 6/24/2023 )Spudcans are commonly installed to support jack-up vessels in construction process of offshore wind turbines (OWTs), which may induce significant soil deformation that may impact existing foundations of established OWTs. ... -
Numerical Modeling of the Monotonic Lateral Behavior of XL and XXL Monopiles in Kaolin
(ASCE, 6/21/2023 )Monopiles are the favored foundation type for offshore wind turbines due to a relatively simple design and installation process. This paper investigates using coupled three-dimensional finite-element analysis the ... -
Characterization of Autocovariance Parameters of Detrended Cone Tip Resistance from a Global CPT Database
(ASCE, 8/11/2023 )This paper compiles a cone penetration test (CPT) database, named Global-CPT/3/1196. It contains three CPT parameters (cone tip resistance, sleeve friction, and porewater pressure) from 1,196 CPT soundings taken at 59 sites ... -
Development of a Multiphase Numerical Modeling Approach for Hydromechanical Behavior of Clay Embankments Subject to Weather-Driven Deterioration
(ASCE, 6/7/2023 1)Clay embankments used for road, rail, and flood defense infrastructure experience a suite of weather-driven deterioration processes that lead to a progressive loss of hydromechanical performance: micro-scale deformation ... -
Displacement-Based Design of Axially Loaded Piles for Seismic Loading and Liquefaction-Induced Downdrag
(ASCE, 7/7/2023 1)Axially loaded piles in liquefiable soils can undergo severe settlements due to a shaking event. During shaking, the settlement is caused by the reduction of its shaft and tip capacity from the excess pore pressures generated ... -
Numerical Modeling of Pumping-Induced Earth Fissures Using Coupled Quasi-Static Material Point Method
(ASCE, 6/19/2023 )Pumping-induced earth fissuring is a typical fluid–solid coupling problem involving fracture evolution. Despite recent advances in the numerical modeling of earth fissures, a holistic approach capable of predicting their ... -
Changes in Pore-Size Distribution and Hydraulic Conductivity of Compacted Soils by Grass-Derived Hydrochar
(ASCE, 7/13/2023 )Hydrochar is a biomass-derived carbon-rich material produced by the hydrothermal carbonization process which requires less energy than the pyrolysis production of biochar. The effectiveness of using hydrochar to amend soil ... -
