Closure to “<i>Revised Cam‐Clay Model</i>” by B. R. Srinivasa Murthy, A. Vatsala, and T. S. Nagaraj (June, 1991, Vol. 117, No. 6)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992) -
Exact Formulation of Axisymmetric‐Interface‐Element Stiffness Matrix
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)A new and accurate formulation of the stiffness matrix for an axisymmetric interface or joint element is presented. This element is formulated to model rock joints and soil-soil and soil-structure interfaces in the finite ... -
Swell versus Saturation for Compacted Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between swell and degree of saturation for a compacted clay. Laboratory tests indicate that the percent swell increases in direct proportion to the degree of ... -
Discussion of “<i>Design of Wave Barriers for Reduction of Horizontal Ground Vibration</i>” by Tahmeed H. Al‐Hussaini and Shahid Ahmad (April 1991, Vol. 117, No. 4)

Compaction Quality Control in Granular Shell of Earth Dam
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The current procedure for controlling the quality of compaction in the granular shell of an earth dam is to compare the in situ density with the respective maximum laboratory density. This can be tedious on a routine basis ... -
Discussion of “<i>Stability Evaluation during Staged Construction</i>” by Charles C. Ladd (April 1991, Vol. 117, No. 4)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992) -
Cα/Cc Concept Applied to Compression of Peat
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Eight long-term multiple-stage-loading oedometer tests were performed on a fibrous peat from Middleton, Wisconsin. Both conventional-size and large specimens were treated with pore-pressure measurement. Load-increment ... -

Seismic Passive Resistance of Tied‐Back Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Previous work on the seismic behavior of retaining walls is briefly reviewed, and in particular, the Mononobe‐Okabe analysis for the limiting passive resistance is discussed. A test series is described that considers passive ... -
Dynamic Compaction Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)A simplified model based on the one‐dimensional wave equation, which accounts for the interaction of the pounder and the soil, and the propagation of stress wave in the soil during the dynamic compaction of loose granular ... -
Dynamic Response Analysis of Reinforced‐Soil Retaining Wall
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Two methods found in current engineering practice for the dynamic response analysis of reinforced‐soil retaining‐wali structures are reviewed. The first method is an iterative equivalent linear clastic approach, and the ... -
Torsional Stiffness of Arbitrarily Shaped Embedded Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)A theoretical investigation of the static and dynamic torsional stiffness of arbitrarily shaped rigid foundations embedded in a homogeneous half‐space, using a quadratic‐element‐based boundary element algorithm, is presented. ... -
Torsional Radiation Damping of Arbitrarily Shaped Embedded Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Radiation damping of torsionally oscillating, arbitrarily shaped rigid foundations embedded in linear hysteretic homogeneous soil is studied parametrically with a rigorous boundary element formulation. A simplified analytical ... -
Time‐Dependent Cone Penetration Resistance due to Blasting
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Changes in tip resistance, local friction, and friction ratio following blasting in saturated, sandy alluvium are reported. Cone penetration tests (CPT) were performed one week prior to blasting and one, three, and 18 weeks ... -
Effect of Particle Contact Bond on Shear Modulus
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The resonant column technique is used to identify the most significant factors affecting the low‐strain shear modulus of sand cemented with various types of cementing materials. Results show that the increase of low‐strain ... -
Influence of Seepage on Stability of Sandy Slope
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The influence of seepage on the stability of a sandy slope is investigated. Two failure modes that influence the slope stability can be distinguished. A `continuum' mode if an outward flow is present and a `single particle' ... -
Stresses Induced by Surficial and Deep Loading in Elastic Medium
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Closed solutions are obtained for the vertical normal stress at any point within an elastic half-space for two loading conditions. In the first case, the stress is caused by a linearly distributed load acting on a superficial ... -
