Geotechnical Properties of Laponite-Treated Sands in Reliquefaction Events
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)Laponite is a nanomaterial that can modify the behavior of the fluid in which it is dispersed, transforming it into a non-Newtonian fluid with initial low viscosity that hardens with time. Additionally, since the gel ... -
Effect of Soil Particle Size on the Accuracy of Tactile Pressure Sensors
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)This paper investigates the effects of soil particle size on the measurement accuracy of single-point type tactile pressure sensors when used for measuring soil contact stresses. Sensors with two different diameters (Dsens) ... -
Evaluation of Cyclic Resistance and Postliquefaction Volumetric Strains of Intermediate Soils
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Postshaking soil volumetric strains of liquefiable soils are of technical interest because they cause a relevant part of the total settlements experienced by the site of interest. In the case of liquefiable intermediate ... -
Quantifying the Error Associated with the Elastic Halfspace Assumption in Site Response Analysis
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)One of the fundamental decisions when performing one-dimensional (1D) site response analyses (SRA) involves the selection of the depth and dynamic properties of the elastic halfspace (EHS). This boundary condition assumes ... -
Dynamic Centrifuge Tests to Evaluate the Seismic Performance of an Embankment Resting on Liquefiable Ground Improved by Unreinforced and Reinforced Soil–Cement Columns
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)A series of centrifuge experiments were conducted to identify different internal failure modes of a group of soil-cement (SC) columns (e.g., shearing and tension due to bending) under combined effects of embankment ... -
Field Trials of Microbially Induced Desaturation in Low-Plasticity Silt
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)Field trials of microbially induced desaturation (MID) were conducted at two sites in Portland, Oregon underlain by liquefiable fine-grained soils. MID is an emerging method for mitigating the potential for triggering ... -
Direct Injection of Aluminum–Organic Matter Flocs to Reduce Soil Permeability and Create a Vertical Flow Barrier In Situ
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)This study presents a novel geotechnical engineering approach that utilizes naturally occurring processes to reduce soil permeability in-situ. This approach is inspired by a soil stratification process (Podzolization), ... -
Vertical Bearing Capacity of Foundations with Large Embedment Depth in Normally Consolidated Clay
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)Foundation bearing capacity has been well studied in homogeneous soil under a condition of embedment depth within five times the foundation effective characteristic length. However, the penetration depth of deep-sea anchoring ... -
Membrane Behavior of Kaolin–Bentonite Mixtures
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)The semipermeable membrane behavior of clay effectively reduces solute flux and therefore can be beneficial in clays used as barriers in chemical containment applications. Except for geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs), the ... -
