Cyclic Characterization of Liquefiable Sands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The method for cyclic characterization of liquefiable sands, which employs the concept of dynamic backbone curve in conjunction with the Masing criteria for construction of unloading and reloading branches of cyclic loops, ...
Generalized Cyclic-Degradation-Pore-Pressure Generation Model for Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A model for the behavior of fully saturated normally consolidated and overconsolidated marine clays subjected to uniform cyclic strain-controlled and staged cyclic loading under simple shear conditions is proposed. Staged ...
Closure to “Cyclic Characterization of Liquefiable Sands” by Neven Matasović and Mladen Vucetic
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Cyclic Characterization of OII Landfill Solid Waste
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As part of predesign studies for closure of the Operating Industries, Inc. (OII) landfill Superfund site, field and laboratory studies were combined with back analyses of strong motion data to characterize the behavior of ...
Seismic Response of a Composite Landfill Cover
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Olympic View Sanitary Landfill (OVSL) near Port Orchard, Washington, is a modern solid waste sanitary landfill covered, in part, by a composite cover system. The site was subjected to a free-field peak horizontal ground ...
Physical Characterization of Municipal Solid Waste for Geotechnical Purposes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A procedure to characterize municipal solid waste (MSW) for geotechnical engineering purposes is developed based on experience with waste characterization and testing. Existing MSW classification systems are reviewed ...
Empirical Model for Shear Wave Velocity of Municipal Solid Waste In Situ
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Statistical analysis of 146 in situ shear wave velocity (
Unit Weight of Municipal Solid Waste
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The unit weight of municipal solid waste (MSW) is an important parameter in engineering analyses of landfill performance, but significant uncertainty currently exists regarding its value. A careful review of reliable field ...
Use of Exact Solutions of Wave Propagation Problems to Guide Implementation of Nonlinear Seismic Ground Response Analysis Procedures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One-dimensional nonlinear ground response analyses provide a more accurate characterization of the true nonlinear soil behavior than equivalent-linear procedures, but the application of nonlinear codes in practice has been ...
Municipal Solid Waste Slope Failure. I: Waste and Foundation Soil Properties
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
