Generalized Three‐Dimensional Slope‐Stability Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)A 3‐D slope‐stability‐analysis method, explicitly satisfying all limiting‐equilibrium equations, is presented. To make the problem statically determinate, the variational approach, rather than intuition in 3‐D, is used. ... -
Generalized Creep and Stress Relaxation Model for Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Creep and stress relaxation are two processes where phenomenological models are most useful in predicting soil behavior. However, they are often treated as two separate phenomena although physical considerations suggest ... -
Large‐Scale Loading Tests of Shallow Footings in Pneumatic Caisson
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)A series of large‐scale loading tests of square and rectangular footings on a naturally deposited dense scoria (a granular material produced by volcanic activities) was conducted in a pneumatic caisson. Standard penetration ... -
Reinforced Sand Behavior Overlying Compressible Subgrades
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)A study of the effect of reinforcement on the (cumulative) plastic settlement, ultimate bearing capacity, and resilient rebound of a repeatedly loaded plane‐strain footing on granular soil overlying different compressible ... -
Undrained Shear Strength of Liquefied Sands for Stability Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The postliquefaction shear strength of sands, called the undrained critical strength or -

Stress‐Strain‐Strength Responses of Compressible Chicago Glacial Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The stress‐strain‐srength responses of compressible Chicago glacial clays are presented.These clays are lightly overconsolidated supra‐ or subglacial tills. Fixed piston and Shelby tube samples from various locations in ... -
Design of Socketed Drilled Shafts in Limestone
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Increased usage of drilled shafts to carry high‐foundation loads has resulted in the common practice to socket the shafts into bedrock to transmit these loads. However, end‐bearing uncertainties have lead various designers ... -
Effects of Multiple Modes on Rayleigh Wave Dispersion Characteristics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The effects of multiple modes on Rayleigh wave dispersion are discussed to reduce the ambiguity of uniqueness of shear wave velocity -
Use of Short‐Period Microtremors for Vs Profiling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)A possible use of short‐period microtremors is examined for the determination of shallow shear wave velocity -
Generalized Slope Stability Analysis: Interpretation, Modification, and Comparison
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The results of a generalized variational slope stability analysis, which is rigorous in the framework of limit equilibrium, are presented. To alleviate possible intimidation due to the abstract nature of the variational ... -
Submarine Flow Slide in Puget Sound
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)In December 1985, construction began on the offshore portion of the Renton Effluent Transfer System. Under the auspices of the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle (Metro), treated effluent is pumped to Duwamish Head where ... -
