The conference was held in in Shandong, China in July 25-27, 2016. The conference provided a showcase for recent developments and advancements in design, construction, and safety inspections of transportation infrastructures and offered a forum to discuss and debate future directions for the 21st century. The presented research papers cover many interesting and contemporary topics including foundation failure and repair, rehabilitation strategy selection and preventative maintenance treatments, asphalt binder and mixture characterization, design methods and materials, innovative repair methods and materials, durable and sustainable designs, innovative materials, advances in foundation design/construction, accelerated and/or performance based design/construction, and aesthetics and environment. The overall theme of the GSP is the development and application of innovative technologies for severe weathers and climate changes and the presented papers address different research findings of this theme. It provides an effective means of disseminating recent developments, advancements, innovative technologies, and research results concerning sustainable civil infrastructures among scientists, researchers and engineering practitioners. We would like to thank all the participants for their contributions to the success of the conference program and their contributions to this Geotechnical Special Publication (GPS). 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z https://yse.yabesh.ir/std/handle/yse/236686 ASCE GSP 285; English -- GEOTECHNICAL RISK ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT ASCE - American Society of Civil Engineers Scope: Preface Interest and use of probabilistic methods and risk assessment tools in geotechnical engineering has grown rapidly in recent years. The natural variability of soil and rock properties, combined with a frequent lack of high quality site data, makes a probabilistic approach to geotechnical design a logical and scientific way of managing both technical and economic risk. The burgeoning field of geotechnical risk assessment is evidenced by numerous publications, textbooks, dedicated journals and sessions at general geotechnical conferences. Risk assessments are increasingly becoming a requirement in many large engineering construction projects. Probabilistic methods are also recognized in design codes as a way of delivering reasonable load and resistance factors (LRFD) to target allowable risk levels in geotechnical design. This Geotechnical Special Publication (GSP), coming out of the Geo-Risk 2017 specialty conference held in Denver, Colorado from June 4-7, 2017, presents contributions in sessions: 1) Advances in the Applications of Theory and Practice of Statistics and Probability in Geoengineering, 2) Bayesian Updating for Geotechnical Applications, 3) Risk Assessment of Tunneling, 4) Risk Assessment and Management of Dams, and 5) Seismic Risk Assessment. These contributions to Geotechnical risk assessment and management are very timely, and will provide a valuable and lasting reference for practitioners and academics alike. The editors would like to thank all of the members of ASCE Geo Institute’s Technical Committee on Risk Assessment and Management and the Engineering Practice of Risk Assessment and Management Committee (TC304) of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) for their ongoing support. All the papers in this GSP went through a rigorous review process. The contributions of the reviewers are much appreciated. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z https://yse.yabesh.ir/std/handle/yse/236623 ASCE MOP 106; English -- Horizontal Auger Boring Projects - Second Edition ASCE - American Society of Civil Engineers Scope: SCOPE OF THIS MOP This MOP presents HAB technology and its application to utility construction projects. Chapter 2 of this manual examines the mechanics of the HAB system, including the different components and attachments, along with recent innovations in the technology. The rest of the chapters present and discuss the different phases of a HAB project: the planning phase (Chapter 3), the geotechnical investigation process (Chapter 4), the design and preconstruction phase (Chapter 5), and the project construction phase (Chapter 6). It is always a challenge to determine the level of detail in an MOP for a technology like HAB because it is highly adaptable and is applicable over a wide range of conditions. HAB can be used to install simple, short, and unsteered casings in uniform ground. The method can also be used to install complicated long crossings in challenging ground and environments. The level of project risk typically determines the complexity. Low-risk projects are often completed with little preconstruction phase activity (planning, geotechnical exploration, and design); the assumption is that the risks will be dealt with if and when they are encountered. Risky and challenging projects typically involve extensive planning, exploration, and design prior to the construction phase. This manual is written to address the installation of a typical carrier pipe with low to moderate risks and challenges. For these projects, the owner and engineer are typically faced with a series of judgment calls on the number of preconstruction activities needed to identify the level of risk involved, the challenges, the parties’ experience, the project’s contracting mechanisms, and the associated environmental and social issues. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z https://yse.yabesh.ir/std/handle/yse/236578 ASCE GSP 259; English -- BEHAVIOR OF GEOMATERIALS AND FOUNDATIONS FOR CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURE APPLICATIONS ASCE - American Society of Civil Engineers Scope: Preface As a result of increasing and continuous social and infrastructural growth, appropriate ground for living and development becomes progressively scanty. Thus, engineers have been considering constructing buildings and infrastructure at locations with less favorable geotechnical conditions and in some cases in seismically active regions. Therefore, proper understanding of the soil behavior has become significantly important to optimize the design and construction of foundations. This Geotechnical Special Publication (GSP) contains 30 papers that were accepted and presented at the GeoChina International Conference on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures: Innovative Technologies for Severe Weathers and Climate Changes, held in Shandong, China on July 25-27, 2016. Major topics covered in this GSP are dynamic behavior of soils and foundations, and physical, numerical, constitutive modeling of soil behavior. The overall theme of the GSP is Behaviour of Geomaterials and Foundations for Civil Infrastructure Applications, and all papers address different research findings of this theme. It provides an effective mean of sharing recent technological advances, engineering applications and research results among scientists, researchers and engineering practitioners. All abstracts and full papers have been peer-reviewed prior to their acceptance and inclusion in this publication. We are most grateful to all authors and reviewers who have contributed to this Geotechnical Special Publication. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z
