Abstract: The electromagnetic theory of Maxwell‐Fricke for the electrical conduction through heterogeneous media is extended to develop a theoretical relationship for fluid‐saturated porous media, accounting for the orientation of ...

Abstract: The stability of a soil slope is analyzed based on the experimental results of a centrifuge test. The failure mechanism recorded in the model test closely resembled that which occurred in the field. Excess pore pressure ...

Abstract: The current design practice for filters in earth and rock fill dams is an outgrowth of a well known concept proposed by Terzaghi. The main effect of amplifications that investigators have added to the Terzaghi criteria is ...

Abstract: Results presented in this paper represent the first part of research produced by the Verification of Liquefaction Analysis by Centrifuge Studies (VELACS), a cooperative research effort involving eight universities. Ultimately, ...

Abstract: The observed dynamic response of an instrumented site at Port Island during the 1995 Kobe earthquake was utilized to demonstrate the feasibility of computer simulation of earthquake-induced site response and liquefaction-induced ...

Abstract: The physico‐chemical processes of advection, dispersion, adsorption, and degradation that control pollutant transport processes in groundwater are described. Dimensional analysis is presented, and the scaling requirements ...
