Introduction of James K. Mitchell, Recipient of the 2004 H. Bolton Seed Medal
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Discussion of “Analysis and Design Method for Slope Stabilization Using a Row of Drilled Shafts” by Robert Y. Liang, Arash Erfani Joorabchi, and Lin Li
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Improved Undrained Strength Interpolation Scheme for Rapid Drawdown
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Linear interpolation between isotropically consolidated undrained strength envelopes and fully drained (effective stress) strength envelopes is commonly used to calculate undrained strengths for slope stability analyses ...

Subsurface Characterization with Solid Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Three‐dimensional computer models of construction sites and subsurface stratigraphy are useful for visualization, analysis, and design in geotechnical engineering. A useful technique for creating such models is the geometric ...
Algorithm for Smoothing Triangulated Surfaces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Surfaces defined by linearly interpolating a two‐dimensional triangulation of a set of scattered data points are frequently used to describe geometry in computer applications. The linear nature of such surfaces simplifies ...
Discussion of “Unified Formulation for Analysis of Slopes with General Slip Surface” by Stephen G. Wright and James Michael Duncan
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Analysis of the Stability of I-Walls with Gaps between the I-Wall and the Levee Fill
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Following Hurricane Katrina an extensive investigation of the performance of floodwalls in the New Orleans area was undertaken by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and others. This investigation included detailed study of ...
Closure to “Analysis of the Stability of I-Walls with Gaps between the I-Wall and the Levee Fill” by Thomas L. Brandon, Stephen G. Wright, and J. Michael Duncan
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Effects of Cyclic Loading on Internal Shear Strength of Unreinforced Geosynthetic Clay Liner
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Stress-controlled static and cyclic shear tests were performed by using a direct simple shear device on samples of a geomembrane-supported geosynthetic clay liner (GCL). The dry material showed no degradation in shear ...
