Energy Conservation as a Principle Underlying Mobilizable Strength Design for Deep Excavations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Finite-element analyses (FEA) and case histories of deep excavations in soft clay are used to validate a decision-making tool based on an extended mobilizable strength design (MSD) method that permits the designer an ...
Discussion of “Undrained Young’s Modulus of Fine-Grained Soils” by B. Casey, J. T. Germaine, N. O. Abdulhadi, N. S. Kontopoulos, and C. A. Jones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Design of Geostructural Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper begins with an extensive review of the literature covering the development of design rules for geostructural systems, beginning with traditional global safety factors and developing through partial factors for ...

Uplift Mechanisms of Pipes Buried in Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reliable design against upheaval buckling of offshore pipelines requires the uplift response to be predicted. This paper describes a model-scale investigation into the mechanisms by which uplift resistance is mobilized in ...
Closure to “Factors Affecting Long-Term Efficiency of Compensation Grouting in Clays” by S. K. A. Au, K. Soga, M. R. Jafari, M. D. Bolton, and K. Komiya
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Factors Affecting Long-Term Efficiency of Compensation Grouting in Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Compensation grouting has been attracting attention in recent years to control ground settlement caused by underground construction. A successful and effective application of compensation grouting depends not only on the ...
Instrumented Borehole Drilling for Subsurface Investigation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The successful application of instrumented borehole drilling techniques in offshore exploration has encouraged its further use on-shore as a ground investigation tool. The drilling of holes for grouting tubes creates the ...
