Cyclic Loading of Silty Clay with Drainage Periods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Undrained repeated load triaxial tests are carried out on anisotropically ( -
Bearing Capacity of Clays whose Cohesion Increases Linearly with Depth
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The method-of-characteristics approach is used in general to find the ultimate bearing capacity of footings on soils whose cohesion is homogeneous and isotropic. In this technical note, the method is further developed and ... -
Discussion of “<i>Level Ground Soil‐Liquefaction Analysis Using In Situ Properties: I</i>” by Kandiah Arulanandan and Kanthasamy K. Muraleetharan (July, 1988, Vol. 114, No. 7)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Bearing Capacity of Auger‐Cast Piles in Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Auger‐cast piles are formed by drilling a continuous flight auger into the ground and, on reaching the required depth, pumping grout or concrete down the hollow stem as the auger is steadily withdrawn. The sides of the ... -
Performance of Axially Loaded Pipe Piles in Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)This paper summarizes the parameters that influence the axial capacity of pipe piles driven into sands. The parameters that affect pile behavior are for convenience divided into four categories: (1) Soil characteristics; ... -
Stability of Leaning Towers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The Leaning Tower of Pisa has intrigued soil mechanicians for many years as to why it tilted in the first place. The more urgent question is, however, whether it is safe today against complete collapse. Methods available ... -
Dielectric Method for Prediction of Porosity of Saturated Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The electromagnetic theory of Maxwell‐Fricke for the electrical conduction through heterogeneous media is extended to develop a theoretical relationship for fluid‐saturated porous media, accounting for the orientation of ... -

Pb(II) Removal from Kaolinite by Electrokinetics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Electro‐osmosis tests are conducted on saturated kaolinite specimens loaded with Pb(II) to investigate the efficiency and energy requirements of the process in removing this heavy metal. Kaolinite specimens were loaded ... -

Residual Strains in Calcareous Sand due to Irregular Cyclic Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)This paper describes a procedure for predicting the residual strains developed in calcareous sand under irregular cyclic triaxial loading conditions. The rates of accumulation of volumetric and shear strains are treated ... -
Closure to “<i>Effect of Disturbance on Pressuremeter Results in Clays</i>” by S. Prapaharan, J. L. Chameau, A. G. Altschaeffl, and R. D. Holtz (January, 1990, Vol. 116, No. 1)

Consolidation Settlement of Bridge Approach Foundation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Excessive settlement of bridge‐approach pavements creates problems for both road users and transportation agencies responsible for road maintenance. An important contributing factor to this settlement is the consolidation ... -
Model for Capacity of Single Piles in Sand Using Fuzzy Sets
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Prediction of load‐carrying capacity of piles in cohesionless soils has been and is still one of the most challenging problems facing geotechnical engineers. The problem is complex and difficult due to the lack of understanding ... -
Elimination of Initial Rotation Error in Portable Borehole Deflectometers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The mechanism and causes of the initial rotation error encountered in portable borehole deflectometers are described. The error is viewed as a systematic propagation of any discrepancy that affects the precise correlating ... -
Discussion of “<i>Alternate Analysis of Pressuremeter Test</i>” by Sayed M. Sayed (December 1989, Vol. 115, No. 12)

Pollutant Migration through Liner Underlain by Fractured Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A new, simple, semi‐analytic technique for modeling contaminant migration through an unfractured clayey liner underlain by fractured soil (or rock) and an aquifer is described. The model is implemented on a microcomputer ... -
Fabric of Field‐ and Laboratory‐Compacted Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The fabric of a medium plastic clay soil has been characterized by the distribution of the sizes of the void spaces in the soil. The soil has been compacted in the field by static—and vibratory—segmented pad rollers with ...
