Closure to “<i>Alternate Analysis of Pressuremeter Test</i>” by Sayed M. Sayed (December 1989, Vol. 115, No. 12)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Discussion of “<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)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Bearing Capacity of Clay Overlain by Stiff Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Many soft-clay deposits are overlain by a stiffer layer or crust. The stiff upper layer spreads the applied loads over a wide surface of the soft soil providing an effect similar to surcharge stress. The bearing capacity ... -
Device for Control of Building Settlement and for Seismic Protection
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The device allows controlled transfer of the building loads to the foundation piles, such that the building neither settles nor emerges with respect to the surrounding ground, in areas where the subsoil is highly compressible, ... -
Closure to “<i>Collapse of Compacted Clayey Sand</i>” by Evert C. Lawton, Richard J. Fragaszy, and James H. Hardcastle (September, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 9)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Discussion of “<i>Kinematical Limit Analysis for Design of Soil‐Nailed Structures</i>” by Ilan Juran, George Baudrand, Khalid Farrag, and Victor Elias, (January, 1990, Vol. 116, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Estimation Earth Pressures due to Compaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)When soil is compacted in layers by rollers, vibrating plates, or rammers, the horizontal earth pressures within the compacted soil mass are increased. Charts are presented that can be used to estimate compaction‐induced ... -
Performance Assessment of Tunnels in Cohesionless Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The ground behavior near circular tunnels in cohensionless soils, including the initial elastic response, the intermediate yielding, and the ultimate collapse, is explored in detail. Different modes of tunnel behavior are ... -

Observation, Quantification, and Judgment: Terzaghi and Engineering Geology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A review of Terzaghi's published and unpublished papers and notes made it possible to trace his way from geology over geotechnical engineering to engineering geology. Not only does this reflect his career, it also is the ... -
Simplified Seismic Analysis of Embankment Dams‐Canyon‐Wall Configuration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Response of embankment dams to horizontal seismic motions accounting for nonlinearities in dynamic soil behavior and for three-dimensional effects due to the geometrical configuration of canyon walls is analyzed by means ... -
Closure to “<i>Deformation Characteristics of Reinforced Sand in Direct Shear</i>” by Scott E. Shewbridge and Nicholas Sitar (August, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 8)

Surface Loading of Anisotropic Rock Masses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A parametric study is presented in this paper to show the effect of several parameters on the stresses induced by loads applied at the surface of anisotropic and regularly jointed rock masses. Factors considered include: ... -

Problems with Representation of Rock‐Fracture Clusters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Representation of geological discontinuities by means of structural diagrams, often called stereoplots, is standard practice. When the dip directions of such discontinuities form a roughly circular cluster about the ... -
