Discussion of “<i>Retaining Walls with Sloped Heel</i>” by Michael T. Elman and Charles F. Terry (October, 1988, Vol. 114, No. 10)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990) -
Influence of Buildings on Potential Liquefaction Damage
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The potential for liquefaction below a building is often evaluated by treating the soil as if it were in the free field. A summary of available field case histories, shaking table model tests, and centrifuge model tests ... -
Closure to “<i>Retaining Walls with Sloped Heel</i>” by Michael T. Elman and Charles F. Terry (October, 1988, Vol. 114, No. 10)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990) -
Discussion of “<i>Direct Determination of Permeability of Clay under Embankment</i>” by S. Leroueil, M. Diene, F. Tavenas, M. Kabbaj, and P. La Rochelle (June, 1988, Vol. 114, No. 6)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990) -
Lateral Analysis of Piers Constructed on Slopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A force‐equilibrium model was used to derive a theoretical solution for the lateral capacity of rigid piers embedded in cohesionless and c‐ϕ soil profiles having sloping ground surfaces. A parametric study indicated that ... -

Thermoplasticity of Saturated Clays: Experimental Constitutive Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Experimental results obtained from thermomechanical tests on three clays are analyzed in light of the constitutive equations of soil thermoplasticity presented in a companion paper. Heating and cooling drained tests at ... -
Laboratory Study on Leaching of Calcareous Soil from Kuwait
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Leaching of calcareous soils due to dewatering is a problem that needs to be addressed because of the cemented nature of Kuwait soils and the numerous projects that incorporate pumping water from the ground. A laboratory ... -
Water Content‐Density Criteria for Compacted Soil Liners
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Soil liners have traditionally been compacted in the field to a minimum dry weight over a specified range in water content. This approach evolved from the practice for structural fills for which strength and compressibility ... -
Thermoplasticity of Saturated Soils and Shales: Constitutive Equations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Plastic behavior of soils and shales due to heating and loading under constant elevated temperature is discussed in terms of a thermoplastic version of the critical state model. Rules for dependence of the yield surface ... -
Static Response of Sands Reinforced with Randomly Distributed Fibers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Laboratory triaxial compression tests are performed to determine the static stress‐strain response of sands reinforced with discrete, randomly distributed fibers, and to observe the influence of various fiber properties, ... -
Behavior of Laterally Loaded Bored Piles in Cemented Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The lateral load‐deflection response of bored piles in cemented sands was examined by field tests on single piles, and on small groups consisting of two piles. All 12 piles were 0.3 m in diameter and had a length of 3 m ... -
Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations: Rigid versus Flexible Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The effect of stiffness of a shallow foundation on its bearing capacity has hardly been studied, although it is technically possible to construct a foundation with durable flexible interface. Reported here are the results ... -
Small‐Strain‐Shear Modulus of Soil by Dilatometer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A procedure is presented for estimating the small strain shear modulus -
Compaction Beneath Flexible Pavement due to Traffic
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The behavior of the pavement-subsoil system is analyzed from compaction due to traffic. A method of analysis is proposed based on the simple compaction theory and numerical algorithm that makes use of a standard finite ... -
Reliability Analysis of Pile Settlement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The stochastic finite element method is applied to study the effect of a spatially varying soil medium on the settlement of single‐pile foundations. In this study, the soil medium is assumed to be linear‐elastic, and it ... -
Correlation between OCR and Depth for Deep‐Sea Sediments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)An analysis of the apparent overconsolidation properties of deep-sea abyssal plain sediments taken from holes DSDP 576A and MPG-1 is presented. Apparent overconsolidation is believed to be caused by interparticle bonding, ... -
