An Experimental Investigation of the Liquefaction Resilience of Dual Row Retaining Walls Using Centrifuge Modeling
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)Dual row retaining walls can be used as embankment structures and coastal defense against wave or even tsunami loads. However, their resiliency to a preceding earthquake and liquefaction of the foundation soil is not well ... -
Seismic Soil Pressures on Rigid Walls Subjected to Pulse-Like Earthquake Ground Motions
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)Pulse-like earthquakes are believed to impose larger structural demands on structures due to the sudden release of seismic energy. This can cause concern in areas that are near faults due to the possibility of structures ... -
LRFD Calibration of Facing Limit States for Soil Nail Walls
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)This paper presents the results of load and resistance factor design (LRFD) calibration of the facing limit states for soil nail walls. The current AASHTO facing load model and a modified model together with the AASHTO ... -
Multiscale Modeling of Fault Rupture–Soil–Foundation Interaction
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)A multiscale approach that couples the finite-element method (FEM) and the discrete-element method (DEM) is used to model and analyze the earthquake fault rupture–soil–foundation interaction (FR–SFI) problem. The approach ... -
Long-Term Response of Piles to Cyclic Lateral Loading Following Vibratory and Impact Driving in Water-Saturated Sand
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)The influence of the pile installation by vibratory or impact driving on the response to subsequent cyclic lateral loading, as faced in the offshore environment, is investigated numerically. Large-deformation analyses of ... -
Effect of Overconsolidation on Cyclic Resistance of Soils
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)The effect of overconsolidation on the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) for both non-plastic and plastic soils is examined using a laboratory test database, including cyclic triaxial, cyclic torsional, and cyclic direct simple ... -
Use of Combined Static and Dynamic Testing to Quantify the Participation of Particles in Stress Transmission
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)A number of research studies have recognized that not all particles in a sand specimen are active in stress transmission, particularly in the case of gap-graded soils. This has implications for the use of the global void ... -
Failure Envelopes for Ring Foundations Resting on Tresca Soil under Combined Loading
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)Ring foundations are used to support tall and heavy circular onshore structures such as chimneys, cooling towers, storage tanks, and silos and offshore structures such as wind turbines and annular platforms. The present ... -
Sidewall Shell Contribution to the Lateral Capacity of Offshore Suction Caissons in Clay
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)The response of suction caisson (bucket) foundations subjected to horizontal head displacement, or head rotation, is parametrically studied by means of three-dimensional finite-element analyses. The undrained clay stratum ... -
Strain Potential of Liquefied Soil
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)Several widely used field methods for estimating postliquefaction ground deformation are based on the laboratory data from one series of cyclic simple shear tests performed on one uniform clean sand reconstituted to three ... -
Seismic Performance of an Embankment Underlain by a Liquefiable Layer and Supported by Spatially Variable Soil-Cement Wall
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)This paper presents the results of nonlinear deformation analyses of an embankment on a spatially variable, liquefiable foundation soil reinforced with spatially variable soil-cement (SC) wall. The objective is to evaluate ... -
Evaluation of Ground Failure Potential Due to Soil–Structure Interaction and Vertically Propagating Shear Waves
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Evaluation of ground failure potential in geotechnical practice is typically based on demand parameters that solely consider vertically propagating shear waves in the free-field. Soil–structure interaction (SSI) modifies ... -
Full-Scale Tests of Skirt Penetration Resistance in Gravel for Offshore Wind Structures
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)Full-scale tests were performed to study the penetration resistance of steel plates (skirts), which are common foundation elements of jacket offshore wind structures. Penetration resistance is well-studied in clays and ... -
Centrifuge Modeling of the Seismic Behavior of Soft Clay Slopes
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)This paper presents the experimental results and analysis from two centrifuge experiments that simulated the seismic response of a gentle slope in soft clay. The two models consisted of a three-degree and a six-degree slope ... -
An Energetic Interpretation of Liquefaction Laboratory Tests on Partially Saturated Soils
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Induced partial saturation (IPS) is considered to be one of the most promising technologies to tackle soil liquefaction risk. The mitigation of the liquefaction susceptibility of loose partially saturated sandy soils is ... -
Pile-Supported Wharves Subjected to Inertial Loads and Lateral Ground Deformations. I: Experimental Results from Centrifuge Tests
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)Five dynamic, large-scale centrifuge tests on pile-supported wharves were used to investigate the time- and depth-dependent nature of kinematic and inertial demands on the deep foundations during earthquake loading. The ... -
