Soil–Foundation–Structure Interaction of Inelastic Structural Systems on Unsaturated Soil Layers
(ASCE, 2022/04/28)Recently, progress has been made toward understanding the seismic response of structures placed on unsaturated soil layers. A missing link, however, involves the influence and assessment of the underlying soil saturation ... -
Centrifuge Model Tests of Liquefaction-Induced Downdrag on Piles in Uniform Liquefiable Deposits
(ASCE, 2022/04/27)Earthquake-induced soil liquefaction can cause settlement around piles, which can translate to negative skin friction and the development of drag load and settlement of the piles. A series of centrifuge model tests were ... -
Analysis of Staged Construction of Containment Levees for Sidoarjo Mudflow
(ASCE, 2022/04/29)Mudflows from the ongoing eruption of a mud volcano near Sidoarjo (East Java, Indonesia) have continued for more than 15 years and now cover an area of 8.2 km2 to a depth of more than 15 m. The mudflows are ... -
Quantification of Stratigraphic Transition Location Uncertainty for Tunneling Projects
(ASCE, 2022/05/17)Stratigraphic transitions within the tunnel envelope cause a rapid change in tunnel boring machine (TBM) operating parameters and impose a significant challenge to TBM tunnel projects. This paper presents a geostatistical ... -
Kinematic Soil–Pile Interaction under Earthquake-Induced Nonlinear Soil and Pile Behavior: An Equivalent-Linear Approach
(ASCE, 2022/05/11)The kinematic bending and filtering potential of a fixed-head pile are explored when large shear strains are generated in the surrounding soil during the passage of seismic waves. The problem is treated numerically by ... -
Theoretical t-z Curves for Axially Loaded Piles
(ASCE, 2022/05/06)Estimation of nonlinear pile settlement can be simplified using one-dimensional “t-z” curves that conveniently divide the soil into multiple horizontal “slices.” This simplification reduces the continuum analysis to a ... -
Insight into the Behavior of a Caisson Anchor under Cyclic Loading in Calcareous Silt
(ASCE, 2022-04-18)This paper provides insight into the behavior of a stiffened caisson anchor under inclined cyclic loading in calcareous silt. A series of tests was conducted in a beam centrifuge. A monotonic test was first performed, ... -
Water Adsorption–Induced Pore-Water Pressure in Soil
(ASCE, 2022-04-08)Pore-water pressure in soil is caused by three physically distinguishable sources: ambient (environmental) pressure, surface tension–induced capillary pressure, and the soil’s electromagnetic potential–induced adsorptive ... -
Settlement and Horizontal Earth Pressure behind Model Integral Bridge Abutment Induced by Simulated Seasonal Temperature Change
(ASCE, 2022-04-11)Expansion and contraction of an integral abutment bridge cause an abutment to move toward and away from its backfill due to seasonal temperature changes, thus causing high horizontal earth pressures behind the abutment and ... -
Analytical Solutions for Active Lateral Earth Force
(ASCE, 2022-04-05)Analytical solutions are presented for the active force on a retaining wall from a single wedge of unreinforced soil, as obtained from a general Coulomb-type limit equilibrium analysis. The solutions can accommodate variable ... -
Enhancing Soil Strength at Targeted Calcite Content via Optimizing Chemical Application Parameters Using Taguchi Method for Biocementation
(ASCE, 2022-03-22)Soil strength improvement employing microbial induced calcite precipitation (MICP) involves bio-geo-chemical interaction among bacteria (here, Sporosarcina pasteurii), sand, and cementing solution. A critical review of ... -
Full-Scale Axial Load Response of Jetted and Grouted Precast Piles in Cohesionless Soils
(ASCE, 2022-03-21)Jetted and grouted precast piles (JGPPs) are a newly developed urban-friendly deep foundation technique that employs water jetting for pile penetration and pressure grouting to enhance the axial and torsional resistance ... -
Verification of a Macroelement Method with Water Absorption and Discharge Functions in Quasi-Static Problems
(ASCE, 2022-04-18)When simulating the vertical drain method using a soil–water coupled finite-element analysis, we the macroelement method can be adopted to provide the water absorption function of drains to individual elements approximately. ... -
