Pile‐Cap‐Pile‐Group Interaction in Nonhomogeneous Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A numerical method of analysis is presented to study the behavior of vertically loaded pile groups embedded in a nonhomogencous soil with the pile caps in contact with the ground. The considered soil profiles consist of ... -
Embankment Design on Soft Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A new design procedure for stage‐constructed embankments on soft clays is developed. The critical‐state theory is applied and the plastic behavior of normally consolidated clays is taken into account. In the stage construction ... -
Discussion of “<i>Field Tests on Bored Piles Subjected to Axial and Oblique Pull</i>” by Nabil F. Famael (November, l989, Vol. 115, No. 11)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Bearing Capacity of Eccentrically Obliquely Loaded Footing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The bearing capacity of an eccentrically obliquely loaded footing is determined by limit equilibrium analysis. The footing is considered rigid with a rough base. It is assumed that the rupture surface is a log spiral and ... -
Finite‐Layer Analysis of Axially Loaded Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)In this paper, a method is presented that may be used for the analysis of axially loaded piles in isotropic or cross‐anisotropic soils. The method employs the finite‐layer theory for the analysis of the soil, and because ... -
Hyperbolic Method for Consolidation Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The analysis of consolidation in the field is not easy, because the soil properties are often difficult to determine, especially when the clay deposit is very soft and nonhomogeneous. To monitor the consolidation in such ... -
Tests on Model Instrumented Grouted Piles in Offshore Calcareous Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)This paper describes the results of tests on model instrumented grouted pile shafts installed into beds of an offshore calcareous sand. This calcareous sand was obtained from the North‐West Shelf of Australia, at the site ... -
Discussion of “<i>Relative Compaction of Fill Having Oversize Particles</i>” by Robert W. Day (October, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 10)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991) -
Finite Element Analyses of HDR‐4 Excavation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Simulations of construction of a 40‐ft‐deep braced excavation in saturated clays in Chicago have been made using a coupled finite element formulation. Surface and subsurface ground movements, pore water pressures, and ... -
Discussion of “<i>Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Structures</i>” by Dov Leshchmsky and Ralph H. Boedeker (October, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 10)

Finite Strain Analysis for Deep Cone Penetration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The generalized expressions for the finite and infinitesimal strain components in the spherical and cylindrical polar coordinates have been derived. These expressions are then used to determine the strain components for ... -
Analysis of Seismic Settlements and Pore Pressures in Centrifuge Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)An analytical approach has been developed to predict permanent settlements of foundations subjected to earthquake shaking. The validity of this approach is evaluated through comparison with results from centrifuge tests ... -
Analytical Prediction of Earthquake‐Induced Permanent Deformations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A general method is presented for the prediction of earthquake‐induced permanent deformations of foundations resting on sand. Predictions arebased upon experimental results from common static and cyclic tests; they may ... -
Laboratory Study of Pressuremeter Tests in Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A series of strain‐controlled model pressuremeter tests were performed in cohesive soils inside a calibration chamber. Stress disturbance was introduced by unloading or preloading surrounding soil prior to the pressuremeter ... -
Smear Effects of Vertical Drains on Soft Bangkok Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Smear effects due to the installation of prefabricated vertical drains were studied in the laboratory using special equipment and in the field using a full‐scale test embankment. The prefabricated vertical drains were ... -
Helical Anchors in Dry and Submerged Sand Subjected to Surcharge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The influence of surcharge and submersion of sand on the uplift performance of a single helical screw anchor is presented. An experimental investigation is conducted on shallow anchors installed in dense dry and submerged ... -
Effect of Soil Plasticity on Cyclic Response
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)A study on the influence of the plasticity index (PI) on the cyclic stress‐strain parameters of saturated soils needed for site‐response evaluations and seismic microzonation is presented. Ready‐to‐use charts are included, ...
