Stability of Shale Embankments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The performance of embankment slopes along a section of I‐77 is summarized. Slope failures occurred mostly in embankments constructed of red shales of the Conemaugh, Monongahela, and Washington formations. Soil moisture, ... -
Closure to “<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) -
Estimating Autocovariance of In‐Situ Soil Properties
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The spatial variability of soil properties in situ is often modeled by trend surfaces and residual variations about trend. With the advent of computer‐aided design, statistical procedures are now routinely applied to trend ... -
Discussion of “<i>Stress Ratio Effects on Collapse of Compacted Clayey Sand</i>” by Evert C. Lawton, Richard J. Fragaszy, and James H. Hardcastle (May, 1991, Vol. 117, No. 5)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992) -
Discussion of “<i>Modified Vlasov Model for Beams on Elastic Foundations</i>” by C. V. Girija Vallabhan and Y. C. Das (June, 1991, Vol. 117, No. 6)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992) -
Closure to “<i>Uplift Behavior of Screw Anchors in Sand. I: Dry Sand</i>” by Ashraf Ghaly, Adel Hanna, and Mikhail Hanna (May, 1991, Vol. 117, No. 5)

Interaction of Inorganic Leachate with Compacted Pozzolanic Fly Ash
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)This paper presents results of a study on the feasibility of using pozzolanic western coal fly ash, either by itself or mixed with sand, as a construction material for waste‐containment liners and impermeable covers. Liners ... -
Discussion of “<i>Anisotropic Hardening Plasticity Model for Sands</i>” by Robert Y. Liang and Hann Ling Shaw (June, 1991, Vol. 117, No. 6)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992) -
Field Performance and Analysis of Steep Riprap
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The performance of riprap with a slope on the order of 1.5:1 to 2.3:1 was evaluated at 14 different dam sites in the James Bay Territory in Northern Québec. The field investigations included gradation measurement at each ... -
Effects of K0 and Overconsolidation on Uplift Capacity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Experimental and theoretical studies on the effects of the coefficient of earth pressure at rest -
Moduli and Damping Factors of Soft Marine Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)This paper presents a compilation of resonant‐column and cyclic simple‐shear test results on dynamic moduli and damping factors of soft marine clays. These tests were conducted on 38 undisturbed samples of soft marine clays ... -
Discussion of “<i>Effect of Footing Shape on Behavior of Cantilever Retaining Wall</i>” by John S. Horvath (June 1991, Vol. 117, No. 6)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992) -
Response of Cross‐Anisotropic Seabed to Ocean Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Quasi‐static field equations for fully saturated porous elastic media, based on Biot's theory (1972‐1973), established in the writer's previous works (1989‐1990) are used in order to describe the behavior of such materials ... -
Review of Wetting‐Induced Collapse in Compacted Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)As high earth dams, deep compacted highway embankments, and Other thick compacted fills become more common, it is imperative that engineers consider and control the potential for wetting‐induced collapse in compacted fills. ... -
Void Ratio of Noncohesive Soils and Similar Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)A new approach to the topic of numerical description of void characteristics of noncohesive soils and similar granular materials is presented. Based upon a simple stochastic model of the void structure and void sizes, ... -
Biotechnical Stabilization of Highway Cut Slope
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Various schemes are considered in order to stabilize a road cut along a scenic highway in Massachusetts. These schemes include a drained rock blanket, rock blanket with brush‐layer inclusions, and a composite drained rock ... -
Hydraulic Conductivity of Noncohesive Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)On the basis of a stochastic theory for the void‐size distribution in noncohesive soils and similar granular materials presented in a companion paper, equations for representative grain sizes in the two terms of the ... -
Constitutive Behavior of Stress‐Induced Anisotropic Cohesive Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)This paper describes the stress‐strain response of a cohesive soil subjected to stress‐induced anisotropy. A directional shear cell (DSC) is utilized in the experiments. The DSC is capable of applying independently controlled ...
