Closure to “<i>Evaluation of Deep Pumping Tests</i>” by Denise Wilton Tripp and John T. Christian (May, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 5)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
The Mechanical Aging of Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Soils age. Their engineering properties often improve significantly during aging times of practical interest to engineers. This paper provides examples from research and practice. It includes a review of the triaxial IDS ... -
Discussion of “<i>Permeability of Clays under Organic Permeants</i>” by J. O. Uppot and R. W. Stephenson (January, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Volumetric Rock Quality Designation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Three different types of block sizes, namely, bars, plates, and prisms of various dimensions, are related to the classical rock quality designation (RQD) index by means of the volumetric joint count definition. Statistical ... -

Effects of Saturation and Back Pressure on Sand Liquefaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The influence of saturation and back pressures on the liquefaction resistance of a sand is investigated by conducting cyclic triaxial tests on four sets of sand samples with different degrees of saturation and on five sets ... -
Discussion of “<i>Dynamic Response Verification of Simplified Bridge‐Foundation Model</i>” by M. Levine and R. Scott (February, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 2)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Formulas and Charts for Impedances of Surface and Embedded Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A complete set of algebraic formulas and dimensionless charts is presented for readily computing the dynamic stiffnesses ( -
Discussion of “<i>1‐D Strain in Normally Consolidated Cohesive Soils</i>” by Bobby O. Hardin (May, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 5)

Discussion of “<i>Building Response to Excavation‐Induced Settlement</i>” by Marco D. Boscardin and Edward J. Cording (January, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Technique for Using Fine‐Grained Soil in Reinforced Earth
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The performance of reinforced earth structures depends on the mobilization of interfacial shearing resistance between soil and reinforcement. This criterion typically eliminates the use of fine‐grained soil as a backfill ... -
ATSF 1980 El Dorado Line Change Failure/Rehabilitation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Track support failure and rehabilitation of 14 km of railway mainline built in 1980 over a compacted clay (liquid limit 50‐70) is presented. The failed construction substituted a 300‐mm thick 5% lime stabilized layer for ... -
Load Transfer for Pipe Piles in Highly Pressured Dense Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Large‐scale loading tests were conducted on closed‐toe and open‐toe piles driven into dense submerged sand confined in a pressure chamber. Unit load‐transfer relations were developed and related to stress conditions in the ... -
Permeability of Acrylate, Urethane, and Silicate Grouted Sands with Chemicals
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A laboratory study is conducted to evaluate the' long‐term resistance to percolation of grouted sands, using chemicals that represent the more common industrial waste effluents. Such performance data is necessary if grouts ... -
Probabilistic Approach to Differential Settlements of Tripod Platform
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A probabilistic model for evaluation of differential settlements of a tripod platform founded on a clay deposit is formulated based on conventional methods for prediction of consolidation settlements. The model accounts ... -
Undrained Stability of Shallow Square Tunnel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The upper‐ and lower‐bound theorems of classical plasticity are used to examine the undrained stability of a shallow square tunnel under conditions of plane‐strain loading. Rigorous bounds on the loads needed to support ... -
Anchor Design for Slope Stabilization by Surface Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The increase in slope stability by application of discrete surface loads depends in part on the orientation of the load. For stabilization systems such as anchored geosynthetics, the load orientation corresponds to the ... -
