Cyclic Triaxial Tests on Remoulded Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Data are presented from cyclic triaxial tests on remoulded clays with load or displacement control. The ability of simple load control tests to predict strains developed in complex (storm profile) tests is found inadequate. ...
Natural Sr Concentrations and Kd Determinations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Strontium distribution coefficients were determined on samples of glacial till from two sites in Southern Ontario to investigate the effect of natural strontium concentrations on measured distribution coefficient (Kd) ...
Metallic Powders in Reinforced Earth
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effect and the possible performance of soil-metallic powders reinforcement systems are evaluated. A series of undrained triaxial compression tests were carried out on cylindrical samples of silty clay reinforced with ...
Discussion of “<i>Rock Sockets in Soft Rock</i>” by George H. Glos, III and Oliver H. Briggs, Jr. (April, 1983)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Design of Anchors in Horizontally Jointed Rocks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A series of ten field pullout tests was performed on vertical cementgrouted rock anchors. The rock was an unweathered moderately horizontally jointed granite. In five of the tests the anchor bars were instrumented with ...
Earthquake Deformation of Centrifuge Model Banks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A modified sliding block analysis, which allows the sliding resistance to be nonlinear visco‐elastoplastic, has been developed to predict deformations of embankments during earthquakes. Contrary to the assumption (of the ...
Tests on Model Tension Piles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The results of a laboratory investigation of the influences of dynamical driving methods and relative density on the behavior of piles in tension are presented. The study includes 31 bored piles, 12 driven piles, and 5 ...
Elasto‐Plastic Seismic Response of 3‐D Earth Dams: Theory
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simplified cost‐effective analytical‐numerical procedure is developed for the nonlinear hysteretic seismic analysis of three‐dimensional (3‐D) nonhomogeneous, one‐zone earth dams. The procedure can be applied efficiently ...
Closure to “<i>Total Lateral Surcharge Pressure Due to Strip Load</i>” by Ramon Jarquio (October, 1981)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Trench Excavation Effects on Adjacent Buried Pipes: Finite Element Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ground movements generated by the excavation of trenches presents some risk of damage to buried services nearby. The effects of such excavation on adjacent buried pipes have been analyzed using a three‐dimensional finite ...
