Overturning Instability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)This paper shows how the safety factor against a flexible structure overturning on compressible ground depends not only on the weights and lever arms involved but also on the height of the weights above the ground. A rigid ... -
Rock Mass Characterization for Dam Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Classification systems define rock mass zones that represent the potential behavior of the rock mass when subjected to load changes. Rock mass characterization, as opposed to rock mass classification, is described by an ... -
Stiffness Coefficients of Layered Soil Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)One of the most important dynamic properties required in the design of machine foundations is the stiffness or spring constant of the supporting soil. For a layered soil system, the stiffness obtained from an idealization ... -
Hydraulic Characteristics of Municipal Refuse
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A review is made of the hydraulic conductivity and other hydraulic parameters of municipal waste. The hydraulic conductivity can be assessed indirectly from measured field parameters and water balance. A test well penetrating ... -
Influence of Structure and Composition on Residual Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The various formation factors responsible for differences in behavior between residual soils and sedimentary (transported) soils are described. The extent to which classical soil mechanics concepts derived from the study ... -
Pile Behavior Established from Model Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Eleven one‐tenth scale tubular steel pile tests are conducted to establish the behavior of pinned‐head friction piles in loose sand, fixed‐head friction piles in both loose and compacted sand, and a fixed‐head bearing pile ... -
Kettleman Hills Waste Landfill Slope Failure. I: Liner‐System Properties
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A slope‐stability failure occurred in a 15 acre hazardous‐waste landfill (90 ft high) in which lateral displacements of up to 35 ft and vertical settlements of up to 14 ft were measured. Failure developed by sliding along ... -
Shear Strength Characteristics of Sand‐Polymer Interfaces
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The results are summarized for an experimental program involving over 450 direct shear tests of sand‐polymer interfaces. The interface frictional strength was found to increase with soil density and decrease with the Shore ... -
Bearing Capacity of Foundations in Slopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A method of designing foundations on slopes of cohesionless material such as sand and normally consolidated clay is described. The method is based on the results of centrifuge tests that were reported in 1988. In order to ... -
Drained Uplift Capacity of Drilled Shafts under Repeated Axial Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)An experimental study of the effects of repeated axial loading on drained uplift capacity of drilled shafts in granular soil is described. The mechanisms that cause changes in drilled shaft side resistance are identified ... -
Foundation Impedance Functions: Theory Versus Experiment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Forced‐haimonic‐vibration tests, using an eccentric‐mass shaker, were conducted on two small but different concrete foundations. One foundation (Cholame 1E), located in central California, consisted of a 4‐in.–(10‐cm‐) ... -
Simple Procedure for Determining Cap‐Plasticity‐Model Parameters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The aim of the work described in this paper is to provide a practical procedure for determining the parameters of the cap plasticity model, which is familiar to geotechnical engineers. To this end, a simple procedure ... -
Wak Test To Find Spread Footing Stiffness
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A method is described to obtain the static stiffness of the soil under a spread footing by using a hammer impact test. In the first part, the analytical background is presented. In the second part, a test setup is described ... -
Unified Approach to Ground Improvement by Heavy Tamping
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A world‐wide review of heavy‐tamping projects indicated that highly organic clays, which due to their secondary compression characteristics may not be amenable to treatment by surcharge and vertical drain installation ... -
Discussion of “<i>Bulkhead Failure Investigation and Redesign</i>” by Ross D. Rieke, John C. Crowser, and W. L. Schroeder (Oct. 1988, Vol. 114, No. 10)
