Behavior of Interfaces between Fiber-Reinforced Polymers and Sands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Conventional construction materials used in foundations can encounter serious durability problems in contaminated subsurface or marine environments. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are potentially suitable for ...
Closure to “<i>Settlement of Shallow Foundations on Granular Soils</i>” by G. A. Leonards and J. D. Frost (July, 1988, Vol. 114, No. 7)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Settlement of Shallow Foundations on Granular Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A conceptual framework for understanding the effects of overconsolidation in reducing the compressibility of all types of soil is presented. A generally applicable method for estimating the settlement of footings on granular ...
Closure to “Evaluating Site Investigation Quality Using GIS and Geostatistics” by R. L. Parsons and J. D. Frost
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Evaluating Site Investigation Quality using <i>GIS</i> and Geostatistics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Current practice in the characterization of subsurface conditions usually involves the interpretation of data from laboratory and in-situ tests using deterministic analysis methods. These deterministic methods do not reflect ...
Discussion of “<i>Necessary Redundancy in Geotechnical Engineering</i>” by Jorj O. Osterberg (November, 1989, Vol. 113, No. 11)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Interactive Analysis of Spatial Subsurface Data Using GIS-Based Tool
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Much of the spatial information that is an inherent part of geotechnical and geoenvironmental investigation programs has been underutilized due to the unavailability of analysis tools designed to take advantage of the ...
Analytical Investigation of Friction Sleeve Length Effects on Stratigraphic Interpretation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an analytical investigation of the ability of friction sleeves of varying lengths to reliably identify layer interfaces and stratigraphic anomalies within the subsurface. Analytical and parametric ...
Three-Dimensional Digital Representation of Granular Material Microstructure from X-Ray Tomography Imaging
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the use of x-ray tomography imaging to reconstruct a three-dimensional (3D) digital representation of individual particles in a granular system. The granular system is represented by the mass center ...
Quantification of Doublet Vector Distribution of Granular Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil fabric quantities such as doublet vector and branch vector distributions are important in doublet mechanics and micromechanics modeling of soil behavior. The quantification of these quantities is therefore imperative ...
