Modeling Cyclic Volumetric Strain Accumulation in Sand under Drained Simple Shear Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThis study presents a critical state two-surface plasticity model formulated such that it accurately simulates the volumetric behavior of sands under drained cyclic simple shear (CSS) loading. The model is based ... -
Predicting the Soil Freezing Curve via a Modified Clapeyron Equation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThe soil freezing curve (SFC) is a constitutive equation describing unfrozen soil-water content and temperature under subzero conditions (below 273.15 K). The SFC governs various mechanical and hydrological ... -
Failure Mechanisms of Permafrost Bluff in Utqiaġvik, Alaska
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe Arctic is experiencing accelerated warming at up to four times the rate of temperate regions, driving permafrost thawing and ground ice melting, which, in turn lead to coastal bluff failure and accelerated ... -
Soil Pore Water Pressure Induced by Adsorption and Capillarity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractPore water pressure serves as a cornerstone for controlling various soil behaviors. In soils, both capillarity and adsorption contribute to pore water pressure. Capillarity exists in large soil pores when soil is ... -
Stabilizing Highly Erodible Sands against Wind Erosion Using Two MICP Pathways: Aerobic Denitrification and Nonsterile Ureolysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractStabilizing soils against wind erosion is a critical challenge, particularly in regions with loose, sandy soils, such as dune sands. This study explores the potential of microbially induced calcite precipitation ... -
Instrumented 74-mm Dynamic Cone Penetration and Shear Wave Velocity Tests for Assessing Liquefaction in Gravelly Soils Subjected to the 2020 Petrinja, Croatia, Earthquake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThe liquefaction of gravelly soils during earthquakes remains a challenging hazard to evaluate because larger soil particles can interfere with traditional in situ tests such as the standard penetration test (SPT) ... -
Mitigation of Lateral Spreading Effects on Bridge Piles Using Tire-Derived Aggregate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThis study focuses on evaluating the feasibility of using a layer of tire-derived aggregate (TDA) placed upslope from a bridge foundation system to absorb ground deformations associated with lateral spreading effects ... -
Effects of Triaxial Sample Scaling on the Mechanical Behavior of Alluvial Gravels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractIn practical engineering, mechanical characterization of coarse gravels is usually performed on small-scale specimens, where the maximum particle size is limited to fit the material in standard testing devices. ... -
A Novel Hysteretic Model for the Evolution of the Soil–Water Retention Curve with Void Ratio
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract While several models can describe the impact of void ratio changes induced by mechanical loading on the soil–water retention curve (SWRC), they often do not account for the hysteretic behavior of the SWRC. This ... -
Fragility Analysis of Super-Span Cable-Stayed Bridge under Random Field Excitation of Ground Motions Based on Efficient KR-α Algorithm
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractAs the key hubs of transportation systems, cable-stayed bridges have been widely constructed in recent years due to their advantages including efficient load distribution and economic benefits of spanning long ... -
Multilayered Capillary Barrier Systems: Analytical, Numerical, and Experimental Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractCapillary barrier systems (CBSs) are geotechnical structures that are used to limit rainwater infiltration into the underlying soil. The conventional layout of CBSs consists of a finer-grained layer overlying a ... -
Impact of Suction and Swell-Induced Softening on Pile Behavior in an Unsaturated Expansive Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThis study examined the response of a single pile embedded in an unsaturated expansive clay. This was achieved by performing three-dimensional finite-element analyses, employing the Barcelona Basic Model. The study ... -
Quasi-Region-Specific Liquefaction Probability Prediction Based on a Liquefaction Database
