NUMERICALLY MODELING FLOODING SUSCEPTIBILITY OF THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY
… to glacial isostatic adjustment and reclaimed soil consolidation, this area experiences subsidence as well as the effects of sea level rise, which make it susceptible to urban flooding. As the frequency of these flooding events increases, there is an increasing need for an accurate forecasting …

Analysis of consolidation around driven piles in overconsolidated clay
… of preceding events, i.e. pile installation and soil consolidation. This research utilizes the Strain Path Method (SPM) to simulate the disturbance caused by pile installation with a general effective stress soil model, MIT-Si, which is capable of modeling adequately the anisotropic stress-strain …

Long-term basement heave in over-consolidated clay
… basement is excavated, the permanent removal of soil overburden leads to a reduction in vertical effective stress, causing the remaining soil to swell. At locations with over-consolidated clays, such as London Clay and Cambridge Gault, these movements often continue for many years after the end …

Finite element study of geosynthetic encased stone columns in sensitive soft clay
Some normally consolidated soft soils manifest strength sensitivity, ie these soil manifest strain softening when shear in an undrained mode. These soils, referred to as sensitive soft soils, have the typical features of strain hardening in drained shearing and strain softening in undrained …

Influences of Curing Conditions and Organic Matter on Characteristics of Cement-treated Soil for the Wet Method of Deep Mixing
… method of deep mixing constructs binder-treated soil columns by mixing a binder-water slurry with soft soil in-situ to improve the engineering properties of the soil. The strength of binder-treated soil is affected by characteristics of the in-situ soil and binder, mixing conditions, and curing …
