Improving Semianalytical Predictions of Long-Term Basement Heave in Over-Consolidated Clay
(ASCE, 2021-11-24)A series of geotechnical centrifuge tests to investigate the long-term heave behavior of basements in over-consolidated clay was performed, and the profiles of the slab displacement and underslab pressure were measured ... -
Unified Elastic Modulus Characteristic Curve Equation for Variably Saturated Soils
(ASCE, 2021-10-21)A soil’s elastic modulus is a fundamental property defining the soil’s reversible stress-strain relation under mechanical and environmental loadings. It has been observed that a soil’s elastic modulus can increase up to ... -
Energy-Based Assessment of Liquefaction Resistance of Rooted Soil
(ASCE, 2021-10-21)Plant roots have been shown to improve the soil resistance to liquefaction upon cyclic loading. However, the effect of roots and their orientations on any changes in soil anisotropy and the mechanisms of dissipated energy ... -
Centrifuge Tests of Cone-Penetration Test of Layered Soil
(ASCE, 2022-01-27)Two centrifuge model tests were used to examine the effect of soil interlayering on the measured cone-penetration resistance in a layered soil model. The first centrifuge model included four soil profiles: two uniform loose ... -
Liquefaction of Volcanic Soils: Undrained Behavior under Monotonic and Cyclic Loading
(ASCE, 2021-10-30)Volcanic pyroclastic deposits generally have a metastable and collapsible structure, which may lead to their liquefaction under monotonic, cyclic, and dynamic loading. Their structure could be partly attributed to the ... -
Vertical Dynamic Response of a Pile Embedded in Layered Transversely Isotropic Unsaturated Soils
(ASCE, 2021-10-20)This paper investigates the dynamic response of a pile embedded in layered transversely isotropic unsaturated soils subjected to a vertical external excitation. The quintessential Biot biphasic model for saturated media ... -
Behavior of Piggy-Backed Drag Embedment Anchors in Marine Soils
(ASCE, 2021-10-19)This paper summarizes the analytical and experimental results of piggy-backed drag embedment anchors composed of two drag embedment anchors. Drag embedment tests with piggy-backed drag embedment anchors were performed with ... -
Load and Resistance Factor Design for Serviceability Limit State of Laterally Loaded Drilled Shafts for Transmission Line Structures in Sands
(ASCE, 2021-10-19)Load and resistance factor design (LRFD) for serviceability limit state (SLS) of laterally loaded drilled shafts was explored for transmission line structures in sand, and the SLS resistance factor (RF) was proposed. ... -
Impact of Ground Densification on the Response of Urban Liquefiable Sites and Structures
(ASCE, 2021-10-28)Ground densification is a common countermeasure against soil liquefaction. The state-of-practice for designing ground densification is typically based on empirical estimates of liquefaction triggering and ground settlement ... -
Shear Strength Anisotropy of Natural Granite Residual Soil
(ASCE, 2021-10-20)A significant feature of residual soil is the presence of a cemented structure and fissures that dominate its anisotropic behavior. Although the anisotropy of some sedimentary soils is well understood, that of residual ... -
Centrifuge Shake Table Tests on the Liquefaction Resistance of Sand with Clayey Fines
(ASCE, 2021-11-27)A series of centrifuge shake table tests were carried out to investigate liquefaction resistance of sand deposits with different fines content. The effects of clayey fines on the generation and dissipation of excess pore ... -
Effect of Light Biocementation on the Liquefaction Triggering and Post-Triggering Behavior of Loose Sands
(ASCE, 2021-10-21)Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is an environmentally conscious ground-improvement method that can enhance the engineering properties of granular soils through the precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) ... -
Multiple Thixotropisms of Liquid Limit–Consistency Clays Unraveled by Multiscale Experimentation
(ASCE, 2021-10-19)Multiscale experiments were conducted to investigate the thixotropic behavior of a naturally occurring illite-rich marine clay with a moderate salinity and of a manufactured, highly purified kaolin clay at respective liquid ... -
Effect of Temperature on the Strength of Lime–Cement Stabilized Norwegian Clays
(ASCE, 2021-12-29)When performing soil stabilization of soft clays, the effect of temperature on the properties of the stabilized material is usually not considered. In this study, the curing temperature development and its effect on the ... -
