(ASCE, 2022-03-11)This paper explores the influence of building cover and pile toe boundary conditions on ground temperature distributions surrounding energy piles. Experimental and numerical studies were conducted on two isolated cast-in-place ... -
Centrifuge Performance of SCM Wall–Reinforced Pile-Supported Wharf Subjected to Yard Loads
(ASCE, 2022-03-10)Yard loads may induce slope deformation and compress the piles of pile-supported wharfs, resulting in structural damage. In this paper, centrifuge tests were conducted to investigate yard load induced performances of ... -
Stability Analysis of Upstream Tailings Dam Using Numerical Limit Analyses
(ASCE, 2022-03-24)The catastrophic failure of the Córrego do Feijão Dam 1 in January 2019 has raised many questions regarding the safety of tailings storage facilities constructed by upstream methods. The stability of these structures is ... -
Consolidation of Sludge Dewatered in Geotextile Tubes under Combined Fill and Vacuum Preloading
(ASCE, 2022-03-22)Recently, permeable geotextile tubes in conjunction with prefabricated horizontal drains (PHDs) have become increasingly popular for dewatering high water content slurries or sludge. However, how to analyze the consolidation ... -
Image-Based 3D Reconstruction of Granular Grains via Hybrid Algorithm and Level Set with Convolution Kernel
(ASCE, 2022-02-25)This study develops a novel method for reconstructing three dimensional (3D) granular grains from computed tomography (CT) images. Unlike previous studies requiring trial-and-error hyperparameters, the hybrid algorithm ... -
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Performance of Piles and Suction Caissons Subjected to Inclined Cyclic Loading in Cohesive Soils
(ASCE, 2022-03-25)Cyclic loading on caisson and pile anchors can be a significant design issue, particularly with respect to cumulative vertical displacements that can lead to reduction in embedment depth and load capacity of the anchor. ... -
Analysis of Excavation Support Systems Considering the Influence of Saturated and Unsaturated Soil Conditions
(ASCE, 2022-03-24)A well-established framework for the design of excavation support systems (ESSs) is not available in the literature. Several guidelines that have evolved from engineering practice are conventionally used in the design of ... -
Substructure Method Revisited for Analyzing the Dynamic Interaction of Structures with Embedded Massive Foundations
(ASCE, 2022-03-17)This paper proposes a new simple approach for assessing dynamic soil–structure interaction effects on structures supported by embedded massive foundations. The classical substructure method was revisited by proposing an ... -
Combined Effects of Soil Stress History and Scour Hole Dimensions on Laterally and Axially Loaded Piles in Sand and Clay under Scour Conditions
(ASCE, 2022-03-12)Removal of soil around a bridge foundation due to scour results in a reduction of the lateral and vertical foundation capacity due to the loss of soil support. The common approach in modeling the scour phenomenon of removal ... -
Experimental Study of Internal Erosion in Granular Soil Subject to Cyclic Hydraulic Gradient Reversal
(ASCE, 2022-02-22)Numerous studies have been conducted to evaluate the influence of internal erosion on the geotechnical properties of soil under unidirectional seepage. Yet cyclic gradients prevail in natural or engineering systems, and ... -
A New Vs-Based Liquefaction-Triggering Procedure for Gravelly Soils
(ASCE, 2022-04-05)Liquefaction assessment has primarily been performed using in situ penetration testing, but this practice has become problematic for gravelly soils. For example, standard penetration test (SPT)- or cone penetration test ... -
Hydraulic Performance of Geosynthetic Clay Liners Comprising Anionic Polymer–Enhanced Bentonites
(ASCE, 2022-04-05)The hydraulic performance of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) comprising anionic polymer–enhanced bentonites (EBs), or EB-GCLs, based on permeation with 500 mM NaCl and 167 mM CaCl2 at an average effective stress ... -
Instability of a Gold Mine Tailings Subjected to Different Stress Paths
(ASCE, 2022-02-25)Static liquefaction of mine tailings has been the interest of many studies as these materials are generally deposited in a loose condition and stored at high saturation ratios. Yet few researchers have investigated the ... -
Kinetic Modeling for a Novel Permeable Reactive Biobarrier for In Situ Remediation of PAH-Contaminated Groundwater
