Cyclic Testing and Modeling of Interfaces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new device for cyclic testing of large size interfaces between structural and geologic materials and rock joints is described. Test results are reported for a sand‐concrete interface, and are used to express shear stress ...
Estimation of Subgrade Resilient Modulus from Standard Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mechanistic pavement design procedures based on elastic layer theory require the specification of elastic moduli for each material in the pavement section. Repeated load tests yielding a resilient modulus are frequently ...
Closure to “<i>Estimation of Subgrade Resilient Modulus from Standard Tests</i>” by E. C. Drumm, Y. Boateng‐Poku, and T. Johnson Pierce (May, 1990, Vol. 116, No. 5)

Discussion and Closure: Effects of Ground Subsidence on a House
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Infiltration Tests on Fractured Compacted Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Desiccation and freeze-thaw of compacted clay barriers may result in cracks that serve as preferential flow paths. A series of infiltration tests on compacted kaolin samples was conducted to explore the importance of ...
Closure to “Infiltration Tests on Fractured Compacted Clay” by M. C. McBrayer, M. Mauldon, E. C. Drumm, and G. V. Wilson

Effects of Ground Subsidence on a House
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A one-story ranch house was monitored as it underwent static ground subsidence from longwall coal mining. The unreinforced crawl space foundation failed early in the subsidence event. The foundation was not flexible enough ...
