Abstract: The present study examines the lateral earth pressure transferred to a rigid retaining wall by granular fill confined between the wall and an adjacent rock face. The centrifuge modeling technique is used to test small ...

Abstract: The development of shear strain in a soft, marine clay undergoing monotonic shear in torsional and simple shear equipment has been studied. The ratio between the irrecoverable, or plastic, shear strain to the overall shear ...

Abstract: A procedure for exploiting a two-dimensional (2D) explicit, numerical computer code for the 3D formulation of dynamic lateral soil-pile interactions is considered. The procedure is applied to two models using simultaneous ...

Abstract: Existing approaches for the estimation of shaft and base resistances of drilled, cast-in-place piles have been compared on the basis of data collected from local geotechnical consultants, from load tests performed as part ...

Abstract: Plane-strain, finite-element, and finite-difference computations of the bearing-capacity factor,

Abstract: A field test was performed to study the response of an 800 mm internal diameter, hybrid (plastic/metal) structured wall pipe during installation and varied traffic loading. Synchronized measurements were made of radial ...

Abstract: Seismic site response analyses are often carried out using constitutive models for soil behavior under cyclic loading that incorporate Masing rules. In such analyses the effect of cyclic degradation of stiffness and strength ...
