Steady State Testing of Loose Sands: Limiting Minimum Density
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The steady state line (SSL) of a soil is defined as the relationship between a soil's void ratio (or density) and its residual ``steady state'' or critical state strength. Recent testing of very low density sand samples ... -
Closure to “<i>Three‐Dimensional Stability Analysis of Concave Slopes in Plan View</i>” by Zhang Xing (June, 1988, Vol. 114, No. 6)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990) -
Response of Granular Soil along Constant Stress Increment Ratio Path
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The stress‐strain response of a granular soil along constant stress increment ratio paths is experimentally investigated for the condition of -
Closure to “<i>Overconsolidation Ratio of Clays from Penetration Pore Pressures</i>” by J. P. Sully, R. G. Campanella, and P. K. Robertson (February, 1988, Vol. 114, No. 2)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990) -
Single‐Hardening Model with Application to NC Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A constitutive model with a single yield surface has been developed for the behavior of frictional materials, such as clay, sand, concrete, and rock. The model is based on concepts from elasticity and plasticity theories. ... -
Discussion of “<i>Three‐Dimensional Stability Analysis of Concave Slopes in Plan View</i>” by Zhang Xing (June, 1988, Vol. 114, No. 6)

Stress‐Deformation Characteristics of Alaskan Silt
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)An extensive series of undrained triaxial tests were performed on reconstituted samples of Alaskan silts in both the normally consolidated and over‐consolidated state. The results of the investigation show that the pore ... -
Seismic Response of Piles to Obliquely Incident SH, SV, and P Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The response of single piles to vertically and obliquely incident SH, SV, and P waves is obtained by a hybrid boundary element (BEM) formulation. The piles are idealized as compressible beam‐columns and the soil, as a ... -
Finite Element Simulation of Behavior of Laterally Loaded Piles in Permafrost
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The finite element computer program RDPIL.FOR for laterally loaded piles in a viscoelastic layered soil is developed. The program uses a Maxwell model to accommodate the initial elastic subgrade modulus, which is independent ... -
Shaft Resistance of Piles in Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A new method is proposed for elucidating, formulating, and predicting the axial capacity of friction piles in moderately overconsolidated clays -
Liquefaction Potential Map for Charleston, South Carolina
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The liquefaction potential of saturated cohesionless deposits in Charleston, South Carolina, was evaluated probabilistically. The map is a combination of liquefaction susceptibility and liquefaction opportunity. Critical ... -
Critical Reappraisal of Colloidal Activity of Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Soil properties and their behavior, apart from stress history, are influence markedly by physicochemical characteristics of the constituent clay and nonclay minerals and their relative proportions. Atterberg limits and ... -
Evaluation of In Situ Permeability Testing Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A testing program was established to determine the accuracy and efficiency of in situ permeability testing equipment. The sealed single‐ring infiltrometer, sealed double‐ring infiltrometer, and air‐entry permeameter were ... -
SOA: Large Strain Consolidation Predictions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Large deformation consolidation computer programs are being used extensively by Florida phosphate mining industries for compliance with regulatory activities. Accordingly, a prediction symposium was held to provide a forum ... -
Strain Compatibility Analysis for Geosynthetics Reinforced Soil Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The methods currently used for the design of reinforced earth walls with extensive geosynthetic reinforcements can be broadly classified as: (1) Working stress design methods that basically rely upon restrictive assumptions ... -
Shale Durability Rating System Based on Loss of Shear Strength
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A durability rating system is developed to assist in the classification of shale that is to be used in compacted embankments. The system is based on the loss of shear strength due to the intrusion of water. Nine different ... -
Liquefaction and Flow Failure During Seismic Exploration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A case history and analysis of a flow slide due to soil liquefaction is presented. The failure was triggered by vibratory tampers conducting a seismic reflection survey on a roadway embankment in Michigan's Upper Penninsula. ... -
Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Triangular Shell Strip Footings on Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Shells entered into foundation engineering in the mid‐1950s in different parts of the world. Shell foundations have been used as an alternative to the conventional flat shallow foundations. They can be geometrically shaped ... -
Ultimate Bearing Capacity Tests on Sand with Clay Layer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Loading tests on nonuniform sand beds with a clay layer are carried out to make the effect of an interstratified weak layer on the ultimate bearing capacity clear. The tests are done under plane strain conditions using a ... -
