Durability of Geotextiles to Outdoor Exposure in Hong Kong
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The outdoor exposure performance of 14 geotextiles is studied to obtain specific durability data for Hong Kong conditions. Wide‐width tensile tests were carried out to evaluate the loss of strength and increase in brittleness ... -

Three‐Dimensional Analysis of Traffic‐Induced Ground Vibrations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A new numerical method is introduced to analyze traffic‐induced ground vibrations three‐dimensionally on the basis of a dynamic elastic finite element method. A set of examples are examined to investigate the effect of ... -

Discussion of “<i>Surficial Stability of Compacted Clay Slopes</i>” by Robert W. Day and Gregory W. Axten (April, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 4)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Reinforcing Soft Soils with Artificially Cemented Compacted‐Sand Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Compacted‐stone or ‐sand columns have been used increasingly during the past two decades as a technique to reinforce soft cohesive soils and increase bearing capacity, accelerate consolidation, and improve the settlement ... -
Wave‐Number Domain Approach for Soil Variability Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The effect of the spatial variability of soil parameters on the calculated settlement and stresses is analyzed. The soil is taken as an elastic solid with random shear modulus and a constant Poisson's ratio. A wave‐number ... -
Effect of Lateral Stress on CPT Penetration Pore Pressures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Excess pore pressures measured during cone penetration are often correlated with the characteristics and stress history of fine-grained soil deposits. Recent research with sands in calibration chambers shows that the ... -
Densification of Gravelly Sand Fill Using Intensive Surface Compaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A case study is presented herein whereby a heavy vibratory roller was used to densify a 6-ft-(1.8-m) thick layer of gravelly sand fill located below ground-water level. Geotechnical engineering evaluations had concluded ... -
Closure to “<i>Stability Analysis of Embankments on Soft Ground</i>” by Bak‐Kong Low (February, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 2)

Discussion of “<i>Elastic Buckling of Buried Flexible Tubes—A Review of Theory and Experiment</i>” by Ian D. Moore (March, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 3)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Dynamic Soil Reaction to Axially Loaded Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The dynamic soil‐reaction characteristics of axially loaded single piles are studied numerically to find simple and rational numerical models for beam‐on‐Winkler foundation‐type analyses of axially loaded single piles. The ... -

Horizontal Impedance of Embedded Strip Foundations in Layered Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)This paper presents a detailed investigation of the influence of key mechanical and geometrical parameters on the dynamic horizontal stiffness of rigid strip foundations embedded in layered soil. Geometrical parameters ... -

Revised Cam‐Clay Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The Cam‐clay models, or any other plasticity‐based models, do not make distinction between the mode of stress transfer in coarse‐ and fine‐grained soils. An examination of behavior at micro level in fine‐grained soils, ... -
Probabilistic Analysis of Ground‐Water Levels in Hillside Slopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Slope failures on hillside slopes are frequently caused by increases in pore‐water pressures following periods of heavy rainfall. This paper presents a simplified lumped‐parameter model for estimating piezometric levels ... -
Microplane Model for Triaxial Deformation of Saturated Cohesive Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A microplane model, in which the constitutive properties are characterized independently on planes of various orientations (microplanes), is presented. It is found that the basic scheme previously developed for concrete ...
