Well-established 2D and 1D constitutive models, were used to predict the settlement and pore pressures. The predictions suggest, with model parameters based on laboratory test results for carefully taken and handled standard piston samples, that creep should be included to provide better agreement with the in situ measured settlements and pore pressures. A comparison between the predictions and the measured settlements and pore pressures showed that it is important to study the trend over time and at different depths, and not just settlements at a few times at the ground surface. The 2D model including creep agreed relatively well with the measured total settlements and with pore pressures at different depths, but the settlement-time relationship was not qualitatively well described.","PeriodicalId":47238,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":"1049 - 1067"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46037347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The wave-based method considers the structure and foundation as a whole waveguide system in which the equations of wave propagation at waveguides and wave refraction at discontinuities are solved analytically using Timoshenko beam theory. These solutions are then assembled and solved numerically within a single system matrix. To model the ground, the viscoelastic soil around the piles is modelled using spring-dashpot elements. The wave-based method is used to evaluate a fitness function within a genetic algorithm procedure, and the resulting coupled tool is used for finding the optimal geometric characteristics of a pile group. The obtained results highlight the efficiency of the wave-based approach to be used in heuristic optimization algorithms such as genetic algorithm. In addition, it is observed that the optimal layout of the pile group depends significantly on loading frequency and soil properties.","PeriodicalId":47238,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":"1083 - 1103"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43281793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an experimental study on the one-dimensional creep of Maghnia bentonite (MB), using two high-pressure oedometer cells, allowing to impose temperature and suction conditions for an unsaturated medium . The characteristics of these two cells and the protocol developed in the framework of this experimental study are briefly presented. The findings highlight a new perspective on the hypothesis (A) which distinguishes between primary and secondary consolidation, and hypothesis (B), which is governed by structural viscosity. The results indicated that the creep behaviour followed the principle of hypothesis (A) under temperature effect, while it followed hypothesis (B) principle under the suction effect. The void ratio variability under secondary compression depends not only on the vertical stress, but also on the temperature and the first load level . Moreover, as soil suction descreases, the normalized void ratio become higher. The creep coefficient (Cαe) increased as temperature and vertical stress increased, while they decreased as the suction increased.","PeriodicalId":47238,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":"670 - 681"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45904062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dynamic vertical tests were conducted using a mechanical oscillator-motor assembly by varying the intensity of exciting force level with a change in eccentricity setting of the oscillator. The dynamic response was recorded in terms of operating frequency and acceleration response. The test data were analysed to estimate the dynamic vertical responses of the piles in terms of resonant frequency, f y ꞌ; peak vertical displacement amplitude, dyꞌ and axial strain εy , and they were compared. For all three piles, with an increase in intensity of exciting force level, the resonant frequency decreased, whereas the peak vertical displacement and axial strain increased.","PeriodicalId":47238,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":"991 - 999"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59987311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the in-situ retaining walls, such as anchored sheet pile walls, are installed in existing soils that may be expansive. Retaining walls installed in expansive soils are subjected to additional lateral pressures during swelling and anchor forces can also increase if the walls are anchored. In this study, the effect of potential swell pressures of expansive soils on the anchored sheet pile walls were modelled and investigated. The swell pressure magnitudes were determined using empirical correlations based on plasticity index. Stress distribution due to the potential swell pressure capacity of expansive soils was proposed. The effect of potential swell pressures on the wall penetration depth, bending moments, and anchor forces are investigated and presented in this paper. The findings of the study show that expansive soil swell pressures have the potential to significantly affect anchored sheet pile walls.","PeriodicalId":47238,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":"1191 - 1200"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47354762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A range of existing theoretical frameworks and phenomenological equations are reviewed and discussed in their ability to interpret the creep behaviour at different states in stress space. New experimental results are presented for two structured clays subjected to complex loading conditions. Each test consists of a defined stress path with intermediate stages of creep. Considerable creep deformations were observed at all anisotropic effective stress conditions. Measured viscous deformations were observed to be related to the stress state, approaching stress path and degree of structure present in the soil. The incremental strain ratio, , measured during constant stress was found to rotate counter-clockwise as a result of drained shearing towards failure for all tests. The experiments also show that for very small stress increments, phenomenological and empirical relations incorrectly predict the development of creep strains with time.","PeriodicalId":47238,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":"682 - 699"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47115986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
