Identification of Soil Properties from Foundation Impedance Functions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The possibility of using experimentally determined foundation impedance functions (dynamic stiffness) to infer the dynamic properties of the underlying soil deposit is explored. The foundation is modeled as a rigid block ... -

Rocking Impedance of Embedded Strip Foundations in Layered Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)This paper presents a detailed investigation of the influence of key mechanical and geometrical parameters on the rocking impedance of rigid strip foundations embedded in layered soil. Geometrical parameters include the ... -

Cone Models for Homogeneous Soil. I
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)For dynamic excitation, it is convenient to idealize homogeneous soil under a base mat by a semi‐infinite truncated cone. It is easy to analyze the cone model for vertical and horizontal translation, as well as for rocking ... -

Development of Strain During Monotonic Shear of Soft Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The development of shear strain in a soft, marine clay undergoing monotonic shear in torsional and simple shear equipment has been studied. The ratio between the irrecoverable, or plastic, shear strain to the overall shear ... -
Discussion of “<i>Lessons Learned from Compacted Clay Lining</i>” by Bill R. Elsbury, David E. Daniel, Gregory A. Sraders, and David C. Anderson (November, 1990, Vol. 116, No. 11)

Cone Models for Soil Layer on Rigid Rock. II
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)It is quite difficult to compute rigorously the dynamic response of a footing or base mat on a soil layer resting on rigid rock. As an alternative to the rigorous approach, the semi‐finite truncated cone models appropriate ... -

Further Contributions to Reliability‐Based Pile‐Settlement Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)To study the statistics of the settlement of pile foundations, the uncertainty in the Young's modulus of the soil must first be estimated. This paper considers the practical aspects of estimating the uncertainty in the ... -
Soil Plug Response in Open‐Ended Pipe Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The response of the soil plug within driven, open‐ended pipe piles is very different tinder the dynamic conditions of installation and the static conditions of loading during service. This paper addresses the latter aspect ... -
Dynamic Interface Shear Strength Properties of Geomembranes and Geotextiles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Shaking‐table tests to measure the dynamic interface shear strength properties between geotextiles and geomembranes were performed and the results are reported. It was observed that there is a limited shear stress, hence ... -
