Discussion of “Stability of I-Walls in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina” by J. M. Duncan, T. L. Brandon, S. G. Wright, and N. Vroman
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Stability Evaluation during Staged Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Staged construction uses controlled rates of load application to increase the foundation stability of structures founded on soft cohesive soils and to improve the slope stability of tailings dams. Because construction ...
Closure to “<i>Stability Evaluation during Staged Construction</i>” by Charles C. Ladd (April 1991, Vol. 117, No. 4)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Design Strengths for an Offshore Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Stability analyses for stage construction of a breakwater located offshore New Jersey required a detailed evaluation of the undrained stress‐strain‐strength properties of a plastic marine clay. One set of analyses, ...
Discussion of “Deep Rotational Stability of Tiedback Excavations in Clay” by A. J. Whittle and Charles C. Ladd
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Mechanisms of Strength for Frozen Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Various physical mechanisms controlling the strength of frozen sand are proposed, evaluated and quantified by drawing upon an extensive literature survey, unconfined creep data on frozen sand and frozen saturated wetting ...
New Approach to Analysis of Consolidation Data at Early Times
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Corrected Field Vane Strength for Embankment Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A method for three-dimensional stability analysis has been developed and applied to 18 case histories of embankment failures. Results show that end effects generally increase the conventional plane strain factor of safety ...
Closure to “Effect of Nonuniform Stresses on Measured DSS Stress‐Strain Behavior” by Don J. DeGroot, John T. Germaine, and Charles C. Ladd
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Factors Affecting the Initial Stiffness of Cohesive Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper presents the results of an extensive laboratory program conducted to establish the factors affecting the initial stiffness (Young’s modulus) of cohesive soils in undrained triaxial compression. The testing program, ...
