Direct and Interface Shear Behavior of an Authigenic Glauconite Sand from the Coastal Plain of New Jersey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Glauconite sand, a green-colored, iron–potassium micaceous peloid known for its high crushability, has been found at locations in Europe and the United States where offshore wind development is currently underway. Crushing ... -
Centrifuge Modeling of an Embankment Resting on Liquefiable Ground: Investigation of the Effects of a Low Amount of Nonplastic Fines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This paper presents an experimental study on the effects of low amounts of nonplastic fines on the behavior of an embankment resting on liquefiable ground through centrifuge modeling. In the dynamic centrifuge tests, a ... -
Load Transfer Behavior of Multiangle Helical Piles Embedded in Silty Clay under Vertical and Oblique Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Multiangle helical piles are used to support multidirectional loads. The load transfer behavior of inclined piles may differ from that of vertical piles. Vertical compressive and oblique uplift load field tests were conducted ... -
Suction Caisson Performance in Sand under Cyclic Loading: Numerical Modeling Using SANISAND-MS
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)With the advantages of low construction costs and rapid installation, suction caissons are widely used as foundations in offshore engineering. This paper investigates the behavior of suction caisson foundations located in ... -
Modeling the Pile Cycle of an Axially Loaded Pile in Sensitive Natural Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The pile cycle of an axially loaded displacement pile in a sensitive natural clay has been modeled using a coupled finite-element code for large deformations. The originality lies in the effective stress–based analysis ... -
Enhancing Rail Track Performance Using Recycled Rubber Energy-Absorbing Grids: Laboratory and Field Evidence
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Rail tracks deteriorate over time due to dynamic wheel loads, a process that necessitates frequent and costly maintenance. This paper presents the results of laboratory and field tests on the application of a recycled ... -
A Pragmatic Framework for Cost-Benefit Analysis of Liquefaction Mitigation Applicable to Lightweight Residential Structures on Shallow Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Liquefaction hazards are often not assessed or mitigated for lightweight residences on shallow foundations despite their comprising 90% of the US building stock. This study demonstrates a pragmatic approach to performing ... -
Exploring the Liquefaction Vulnerability of a Single-Span Integral Abutment Bridge Using Centrifuge Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Global warming is causing sea levels to change and increasing the risk of flooding, leading to unexpected changes in the water table. An elevated water table changes the effective soil stresses that support structures, ... -
Mechanical Behavior and Formation Mechanisms of Hyphae-Based Lightweight Geomaterials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)As the main by-product of wheat, wheat bran is mostly used as animal feed or incinerated, which adversely affects the environment. Mycelium-based biocomposites, which are mixtures of agricultural by-products (e.g., wheat ... -
Three-Dimensional Passive Partial Failure Analysis of the Excavation Face of a Shield Tunnel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Previous analytical models for the passive stability analysis of the shield tunnel face always assumed the global failure at the excavation face. However, recent experimental and numerical results have refuted this hypothesis ... -
Effects of the Diaphragm Wall Construction Process on Adjacent Ground and Buildings in Braced Excavations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The construction of diaphragm wall panels inevitably changes the initial stress condition and causes movements in the surrounding soil mass, which may also cause settlement and damages to adjacent buildings. Majority of ... -
Estimating Sliding and Penetrating Resistances of a Tolerably Mobile Subsea Mudmat: Large Deformation Modeling and Theoretical Framework
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)A tolerably mobile mudmat suffers from long-term maintained self-weight and periodic sliding events with intervening consolidation during its whole life, resulting in changes in seabed strength and mudmat capacity. In this ... -
Dynamic Responses Generated by Moving Vehicles in a Reinforced Embankment Overlying a Void: Insights from a DEM Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The detrimental effect of moving vehicle loading on the antisettling performance of geosynthetic-reinforced embankments overlying voids has been ignored in current design methods but needs to be carefully investigated at ... -
Assessing the Macro to Micro Properties of Recycled Ballast Mixtures by DEM Analyses for Enhanced Railroad Engineering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Despite the reduced size and angularity failing to meet the conservative ballast standards of some countries, the recycled ballast still retains significant mechanical characteristics for potential reuse. This study ... -
Image-Based Deformation Characterization of Dredged Soil during Consolidation under Vacuum Preloading with Horizontal Drains
