Field Tests of Anchors in Clay. I: Description
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A description of and selected test results for four field model tests are presented. The model tests were designed to simulate the conditions of a suction anchor for a tension‐leg platform in soft clay. The intention of ... -
Analysis of Deep Excavation in Boston
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)This paper describes the application of a finite‐element analysis for modeling the top‐down construction of a seven‐story, underground parking garage at Post Office Square in Boston. The analysis incorporates coupled flow ... -
General Stress‐Dependent Elastic Moduli for Cross‐Anisotropic Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A new general nonlinear model for the dependence of the elastic moduli of a cross‐anisotropic soil on the stress state is presented. In agreement with experimental evidence, the model considers that the Young's modulus, ... -
Field Tests of Anchors in Clay II: Predictions and Interpretation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Four field model tests are used to check procedures proposed for the foundation design of suction anchors for offshore tension‐leg platforms. The test program contained one static and three cyclic tests in a soft clay ... -
<i>P</i>‐Ultimate for Undrained Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A three‐dimensional collapse mechanism is described for analysis of the ultimate strength of laterally loaded piles under undrained conditions. The analysis is based on the upper‐bound method of plasticity theory. The ... -
Mechanisms of Shaft Friction in Sand from Instrumented Pile Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Comprehensive measurements of the effective stresses developed during the installation, equalization, and load testing of displacement piles in a loose to medium dense quartz sand are presented. The results shed new light ... -

Washout of Grains from Filtered Sand and Gravel Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Some presently used filter criteria are illogical. Besides satisfying -
One‐Dimensional High‐Pressure Compression of Granular Media
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A series of one‐dimensional compression tests was performed at vertical pressures as high as 689 MPa (100,000 psi). Three materials were tested: Ottawa sand, a granulated slag called Black Beauty, and soda lime glass. Glass ... -
Structural Stiffness Influence on Soil Consolidation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Several papers have been written about the influence of structural stiffness on soil consolidation. Most dealt with the soil as an elastic-medium, flexible beam on a Winkler medium with adequate interface finite element ... -
Scaling PSV from Earthquake Magnitude, Local Soil, and Geologic Depth of Sediments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)An empirical scaling equation is presented for pseudorelative velocity (PSV) spectral amplitudes in terms of earthquake magnitude, source‐to‐station representative distance, component direction, and local site. Each local ... -
Discussion of “<i>Load Transfer for Pipe Piles in Highly Pressured Dense Sand</i>” by Michael W. O'Neill and Richard D. Raines (August, 1991, Vol. 117, No. 8)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992) -
Subsidence Effects on Embankments: Combined Empirical‐FEM Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)To evaluate the effect of mining-induced subsidence on a proposed coal refuse embankment, a two-step, combined empirical/finite element (FE) analysis was conducted. A maximum ground surface subsidence profile was obtained ... -
