Abstract: The stresses created within an elastic model material (gelatin) by a laterally loaded, rigid, finite pile are studied using three-dimensional photoelasticity. Cases of both slip and no-slip conditions at the pile/gelatin ...

Abstract: The results of a parametric study (based on a Mononobe-Okabe analysis) of passive earth pressure resistance of cohesionless soils under dynamic loading are presented. Since passive resistance decreases with increasing ...

Abstract: A simple kinematic method to predict the seismic earth pressure against retaining structures is developed. The fundamental solution to the free-field seismic response considering nonlinear, plastic behavior of soil is ...

Abstract: An analytic procedure for predicting threshold accelerations for movement of gravity-wall bridge abutments due to earthquake loading is first described in this paper. This method combines the well-known previous work related ...
