Abstract: Analytical models and procedures are presented for the evaluation of peak and residual compaction‐induced lateral earth pressures either in the free field or adjacent to vertical, nondeflecting soil‐structure interfaces. ...

Abstract: Analytical models and a finite element analysis methodology are presented for evaluation of compaction‐induced soil stresses and resulting soilstructure interaction effects. These analytical methods model the incremental ...

Abstract: Due to its simplicity, the steady-state approach is an attractive method of characterizing the strengths of loose, saturated sands for stability analyses in these materials. Use of the approach depends on steady-state ...

Abstract: A laboratory study is presented of the liquefaction behavior of sand subjected to bidirectional monotonic and cyclic simple shear loading conditions using a new bidirectional simple shear apparatus. Tests were performed ...

Abstract: Membrane compliance significantly increases the liquefaction resistance of gravelly soils determined by undrained, cyclic triaxial tests. The mechanisms of membrane compliance are discussed in this paper. The liquefaction ...

Abstract: Cyclic triaxial tests and cone penetration tests performed in large-scale triaxial samples are used to evaluate the effects of prior cyclic-strain history on the liquefaction and penetration resistances of a fine, uniformly ...

Abstract: Analyses were made to determine the cause of a stability failure of a 90 ft high, 15 acre hazardous waste landfill in which lateral displacements of up to 35 ft and vertical settlements of up to 14 ft were measured. The ...

Abstract: A slope‐stability failure occurred in a 15 acre hazardous‐waste landfill (90 ft high) in which lateral displacements of up to 35 ft and vertical settlements of up to 14 ft were measured. Failure developed by sliding along ...
