Sample Disturbance of Cemented Collapsible Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A comprehensive study of sample disturbance effects on the response of collapsible soils was performed. Various factors potentially affecting degree of disturbance were studied. It was found that the effect of tube length ... -
Gas Entrapment in Granular Lenses in Silt/Clay Matrix
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)This paper presents a mathematical explanation for gas pockets that have been observed in granular lenses contained within silt/clay soils having downward percolating ground-water regimes. It is shown that the introduction ... -
Discussion by “<i>Experimental p‐y Model for Submerged, Stiff Clay</i>” by Todd W. Dunnavant and Michael W. O'Neill (January, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Design of Wave Barriers for Reduction of Horizontal Ground Vibration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Wave barriers are often installed in the ground to reduce high‐frequency ground vibrations induced by man‐made sources such as traffic or machine foundations. This type of ground vibration could be a major problem in densely ... -
Projectile Penetration in Granular Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Results from centrifuge and 1‐g model tests of projectile penetration into granular soils are described. Solid spherical projectiles in four calibers were fired into uniform samples of dry sand at approximately 305 m/s. ... -
Evaluation of Performance of Two Piles Using Pressuremeter Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)This paper describes the results of two full‐scale pile tests, carefully instrumented by means of removable extensometers (one board and postgrouted pile and one simply bored pile, both 31.7 m long and approximately 0.70 ... -
Performance of Precast Driven Piles in Marine Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The research reported is concerned with the behavior of precast reinforced concrete piles driven through soft marine clay and founded in residual soil and weathered rock of sedimentary origin; to study the load‐transfer ... -
Discussion of “<i>Volume Change Behavior of Vibrated Sand Columns</i>” by Gillian M. Norman‐Gregory and Ernest T. Selig (March, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 3)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Effect of Water‐Content Variability in Design of Clay Embankments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The effects of the variability of the as‐compacted field water content are examined for a clay of medium to low plasticity. This soil had been studied in great detail earlier, and a large data base of parameters for the ... -
Stability Evaluation during Staged Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Staged construction uses controlled rates of load application to increase the foundation stability of structures founded on soft cohesive soils and to improve the slope stability of tailings dams. Because construction ... -
Smooth HDPE‐Clay Liner Interface Shear Strengths: Compaction Effects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)This paper provides two complete sets of shear strength data for smooth HDPE-compacted clay liner interfaces with two significantly different clay liner materials. Data are presented for interface shear strength behavior ... -
Diffusion in Saturated Soil. I: Background
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Recent studies suggest that diffusion may be an important, if not dominant, mechanism of contaminant transport through waste containment barriers. This paper represents the first of two papers pertaining to the measurement ... -
Seismosoil Dynamics of Foundations in Mexico City Earthquake, September 19, 1985
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Mexico City's strong earthquake of September 19, 1985, induced many evident seismic phenomena at the ground surface and building foundations because of the seismic wave action. The paper is devoted to report briefly some ... -
Discussion of “<i>Skin Friction of Driven Piles in Calcareous Sands</i>” by Nabil F. Ismael (January, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Three‐Dimensional Nonlinear Study of Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The main objective of this work is to examine the effect of nonlinear soil behavior on the axial and lateral response of piles to monotonic and cyclic loading with a view towards developing simplified, yet realistic models ... -
Diffusion in Saturated Soil. II: Results for Compacted Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The effective diffusion coefficients, -
Improved Design Procedures for Vertically Loaded H‐Piles in Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)This paper summarizes the results of a study conducted to improve design procedures for vertically loaded H‐piles in cohesionless soils. Included in the study is the examination of several procedures for estimating residual ... -
Simplified Model for Analysis of One or Two Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The main objective of this work is to use the experience gained from a three‐dimensional parametric study presented in a companion paper to develop a simplified model that will reproduce the main nonlinear features of the ... -
