Nano-Enhanced Electrokinetic Conditioning of Expansive Soils Using MgO Nanoparticles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThis study evaluated the stabilization of expansive soils using a three-phase approach combining nanoconditioning and electrokinetics. Phase 1 assessed the effects of nanoconditioning through lab tests, comparing ... -
Centrifuge Modeling of Integral Bridges with Varying Relative Stiffness of Soil and Structure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractWhen designing integral bridges, it is important to consider the interaction between the bridge abutments and the backfill soil due to seasonal thermal movements of the bridge deck. The relative stiffness of the ... -
Nonlinear Permeability Characteristics of Shanghai Clay and Their Influence on Embankment Deformation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract The relationship between permeability and deformation of Shanghai clay has rarely been reported, and the influence of the variation of hydraulic conductivity with deformation on embankment deformation is not clear. ... -
Long-Term Cyclic Deformation of Soft Clay: Invariance Behavior and Its Application to Laterally Loaded Monopile Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractWhen subjected to low-amplitude cyclic loading, the cumulative strain (εp) in clay is generally observed to follow a power-law relationship with the number of cycles (N). Analysis of long-term cyclic deformation ... -
Characteristics of Permanent Strain Accumulation and Resilient Modulus of Unsaturated and Structured Soil under Repeated Loads
