Two- and three-dimensional analyses of translational slides in soils with nonlinear failure envelopes
( Canadian Science Publishing , 2010 , Article)This paper aims to assess the effect of nonlinearity of the soil shear strength envelope on the sliding mass con-figurations and the minimum two- and three-dimensional factors of safety for slopes susceptible to translational ... -
Macro-scale direct shear test device for assessing soil-solid interface friction under low effective normal stresses
( ASTM International , 2014 , Article)The paper describes a new macro-scale direct shear test device for assessing the largedisplacement soil/solid interface drained shear strength at low effective normal stresses. The testing method arises from a need to ... -
Simple Procedure for Preliminary Estimation of the Permeability of Randomly Fractured Rock Masses

( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2015 , Article)This research introduces a simple method for preliminary evaluation of the elastic settlement of piled foundations resting on rock. Despite a significant number of publications in this area, the present effort is distinguished ... -
Comparison of site-specific and empirical correlations for drained residual shear strength
( ICE Publishing , 2020 , Other)The discusser has an interest in the topic of the paper (Hayden et al., 2018) on the ability of empirical correlations to predict the residual friction angle of samples from a specific site. In fact, he provided one of the ... -
Undrained interface shear strength of fine-grained soils for near-shore marine pipelines
( ASTM International , 2020 , Article)The peak and residual interface shear strengths for a variety of normally consolidated soils were measured using a torsional ring shear apparatus modified to suit soil and interface testing under the undrained condition, ... -
Applicability of construction dewatering techniques for randomly-fractured rock
( ICE Publishing , 2024 , Article)Through analyzing a significant number of case histories, ranges of applications of dewatering techniques for randomly-fractured rock are proposed in terms of the rock mass permeability and the required drawdown. The ... -
Estimating the permeability of fractured rock masses for design of construction dewatering systems
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)A comprehensive data on dewatering and pumping-well systems installed in fractured rock is compiled and analyzed to estimate the permeability of fractured rock masses. The data covers construction activities of different ... -
Residual shear strength of fine-grained soils and soil-solid interfaces at low effective normal stresses
( Canadian Science Publishing , 2015 , Article)A laboratory research program was undertaken to study the large-strain shear strength characteristics of fine-grained soils under low effective normal stresses ([1]3-7 kPa). Soils that cover a wide range of plasticity and ... -
Fully softened shear strength for soil slope stability analyses
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2017 , Article)The fully softened shear strengths of soils, mudstones, and shales of different plasticities and gradations were measured at low (10 and 25 kPa), intermediate (50 and 100 kPa), and high (200, 300, and 400 kPa) effective ... -
PREDICTING ROAD ROUGHNESS PROFILE USING DYNAMIC VEHICLE ACCELERATIONS AND ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
( Society of Acoustics , 2022 , Conference Paper)Road roughness can cause ride discomfort and contribute to the emission of ground-borne noise and vibration. A robust monitoring regime of road roughness is essential for the efficient maintenance of a country's road ... -
Optimization of Viscoelastic Metamaterials for Vibration Attenuation Properties
( World Scientific , 2020 , Article)Metamaterials (MMs) are composites that are artificially engineered to have unconventional mechanical properties that stem from their microstructural geometry rather than from their chemical composition. Several studies ... -
