Yielding of Mexico City Clay and Other Natural Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Yielding is an important feature of the stress‐strain behavior of lightly overconsolidated clays. This paper describes tests on 36‐mm triaxial samples of natural Mexico City clay. The specimens are carefully trimmed, ... -

Inverse Analysis of Geotechnical Parameters on Improved Soft Bangkok Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Deformation, strength, and flow parameters were determined by inverse analyses on geotechnical data obtained from two full‐scale test embankments constructed on improved soft Bangkok clay. One site was improved with ... -
Estimation of Chloride Diffusion Coefficient and Tortuosity Factor for Mudstone
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)An experimental estimation of the chloride diffusion coefficient and the corresponding tortuosity factor for a saturated, intact mudstone is described. Laboratory tests simulating one‐dimensional diffusive transport are ... -
Total Stress Analysis of Cantilever Sheetpiling in Layered Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)All existing closed‐form solutions for sheet‐pile analysis and design are based on the assumption of material homogeneity below the dredge line. Unfortunately, the composition of natural deposits is often quite complex, ... -
Pullout Tests Using Steel Grid Reinforcements with Low‐Quality Backfill
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Both laboratory and field pullout tests are conducted using steel grid reinforcements with cohesive‐frictional backfill soils. The laboratory pullout tests are performed using a large‐scale pullout apparatus designed ... -
Effects of Freezing on Hydraulic Conductivity of Compacted Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)A compacted clay is subjected to five cycles of freezing and thawing at constant water content. The test specimens are then permeated in flexible‐wall permeameters at a relatively low effective stress of 35 kPa (5 psi) to ... -
Bearing Capacity of Nonhomogeneous Cohesive Soils Under Embankments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Calculations of the bearing capacity of cohesive soil under embankments are presented for cases of strength increase with depth and a strong crust at the surface. The analysis makes it possible to account for the arbitrary ... -
