Hysteresis at Low Relative Humidity on Vapor Sorption Isotherm of Na-Montmorillonite
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe vapor sorption isotherm (VSI) can be employed not only for characterizing the soil properties but also for describing the seepage and deformation phenomena within soils. The adsorption and desorption VSIs of ... -
Excess Pore Pressure Generation and Liquefaction of Gravelly Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThis study outlines a probabilistic cyclic shear strain-based procedure for the determination of the minimum shear strain, γcl, required to initiate liquefaction in gravelly soils. The proposed formulation accounts for ... -
Evaluation of the Pullout Behavior of a Self-Flip Anchor Installed in a Sandbox
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractSoil or ground anchors are lightweight foundation systems designed to resist uplift or rotational forces acting on a structure. The percussion-driven earth anchor (PDEA) is a self-flipping anchor that can be ... -
Integration of Field Monitoring and Numerical Modelling to Evaluate the Construction Performance of a Deep-Sea Quay Wall
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractQuay walls are often assessed using numerical models to capture highly nonlinear soil behavior and the complex interactions between foundation elements. The input parameters of these models are usually derived from ... -
Thermal Conductivity of Sand with Fines

Multidirectional Cyclic Shear Behavior of Gap-Graded Soils Considering Fines Loss due to Suffusion: A DEM Perspective
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractSoil grounds serving as primary support for traffic loads are often subjected to multidirectional cyclic shear loading and are particularly vulnerable to suffusion during extreme weather conditions. This study uses ... -
Ionic Stabilization Performance in Expansive Clay and Selection of an Effective Test for Assessing Stabilizer Efficiency
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThis study investigated how a sulfuric acid–based ionic stabilizer interacted with expansive clay soils from Texas, and identified practical methods for evaluating treatment effectiveness. A combination of physical, ... -
Assessing Induced Pore Pressure and Suction Stress under Undrained Compression of Filtered Tailings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThe stability of filtered tailings stacks requires a dense particle structure to be created via compaction following placement or potentially from desiccation due to atmospheric drying and/or compression due to ... -
Flowability and Strength of Flowable Filling Materials Made from Cement-Stabilized Sand and Soft Clay: Conflicting Effects of Sand Addition
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractSoft clay with high water content and low strength is largely generated during excavation and dredging activities worldwide. Cement stabilization can effectively increase the strength of soft clay. However, with a ... -
Thermal Integrity Profiling of Cast-in-Place Piles with Defects: Insights from Numerical Modeling
