Micromechanics Modeling for Stress‐Strain Behavior of Granular Soils. II: Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)A micromechanics‐based constitutive model for granular material is evaluated. The predicted stress‐strain behavior for idealized material is compared with that observed from experiments for sands. Under small strain ... -
Stability Analysis of Reinforced Embankments on Soft Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Recent advances in polymeric materials have opened up a new alternative of providing additional stability to embankments on soft soils by incorporating polymeric reinforcement in the form of sheet or grid at the base of ... -
Discussion of “<i>The Mechanical Aging of Soils</i>” by John H. Schmertmann (September, 1991, Vol. 117, No. 9)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992) -
Density Changes During Undrained Loading—Membrane Compliance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Membrane compliance in the triaxial test may cause water‐content redistribution and an increase in specimen density during undrained cyclic loading. A reduction in effective confining pressure causes the membrane to rebound ... -
Fine Ottawa Sand: Experimental Behavior and Theoretical Predictions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Results from a comprehensive experimental program on both loose and dense fine Ottawa silica sand subjected to generalized monotonic loading are presented. The experimental program was conducted on both solid and hollow ... -
Discrete Element Method for Slope Stability Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Limit equilibrium methods for slope stability analysis do not, in general, satisfy the overall equilibrium conditions; they must make assumptions regarding the inclination and location of the interslice forces. An alternative ... -
Three‐Dimensional Seismic Analysis of La Villita Dam
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The three‐dimensional response of La Villita, an earth and rock‐fill dam in Mexico, during the earthquakes of November 15, 1975 and September 19, 1985, is investigated. A simplified numerical procedure is derived to represent ... -
Micromechanics Modeling for Stress‐Strain Behavior of Granular Soils. I: Theory
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Perceiving granular material as a collection of particles, a constitutive law for granular material is derived based on a micromechanics approach. The constitutive model takes into account the mechanisms of sliding and ... -
Retaining Wall with Reinforced Cohesionless Backfill
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The case of a rigid wall retaining a reinforced cohesionless fill that carries a uniform surcharge load has been analyzed based on the limit equilibrium approach. The reinforcement may be in the form of strips or mats that ... -
Discussion of “<i>Sample Disturbance of Cemented Collapsible Soils</i>” by Sandra L. Houston and Mostafa El‐Ehwany (May, 1991, Vol. 117, No. 5)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992) -
Seismic Response of Multianchored Retaining Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The influence of anchor stiffness, inclination, and vertical spacing on the seismic response of multianchored retaining walls is investigated using the finite element method. Anchor stiffness was varied over several orders ... -
Design of Tied‐Back Walls for Seismic Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)A finite element model is used to evaluate seismic behavior of static and seismic tiedback retaining wall designs. Two static designs are tested. The first design assumes active earth pressure resulting in a single‐anchor ... -
Closure to “<i>Free Vibration of Embedded Foundations: Theory versus Experiment</i>” by George Gazetas and Kenneth H. Stokoe II (September, 1991, Vol. 117, No. 9)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992) -
Phenol Removal from Kaolinite by Electrokinetics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Electro‐osmosis tests are conducted on saturated kaolinite specimens loaded with phenol at a level of 500 μg/g of dry kaolinite. This amount was below the phenol adsorption capacity of this mineral. The flow behavior and ... -

Backfill‐Stiffened Foundation Wall Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Foundation walls have been formed by assembling lightweight sandwich panels without a crane, then pouring lightweight concrete fill between the panels and surrounding excavation. The wet fill exerts low pressure on the ... -
Stability Analysis in Geomechanics by Linear Programming. I: Formulation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The limit analysis of stability problems in geomechanics is formulated as a pair of primal‐dual linear programs that encode, respectively, the kinematic and static limit theorems in a discrete version. The failure surface ... -
Stability Analysis in Geomechanics by Linear Programming. II: Application
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The limit analysis for stability problems in geomechanics can be formulated as a pair of primal‐dual linear programs. This formulation provides a solution that is both kinematically and statically admissible for a discretized ... -
