(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Suction stress, the part of effective stress induced by soil–water interaction, is the source for the intrinsic cohesion of fine-grained soil slurries. Here, the previous unified effective stress equation is generalized ... -
The Mineralogical Composition and Mechanical Characteristics of Selected European Coal Mining Waste Samples and Their Experimental Correlation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Globally, there is a vast amount of coal mining waste (CMW) currently stored in spoil tips and tailing dams, presenting a significant source of potentially recoverable geomaterial for construction and geotechnical applications. ... -
Seismic Active Earth Pressure of Granular Soils Considering Inhomogeneous Wave Velocities under Harmonic Excitation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Complete analytical solutions were developed for horizontal and vertical seismic accelerations considering wave velocities varying with depth as a generalized power-law function. This was done by enforcing the traction-free ... -
Rapid Drawdown Analysis of Levees
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Rapid drawdown (RDD) is an important stability design condition for the waterside slopes of levees. A framework for levee RDD analysis that evaluates both seepage and undrained shear strength (su) has been assessed in this ... -
Mechanical Properties of Fine-Grained Soils Treated with Fungal Mycelium of <i>Trichoderma virens</i>
