Deformation Behavior of Sand Under Shear—Particulate Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The deformation behavior of sand under shear loading is studied, based on the concept of particulate mechanics with consideration of the slip and nonslip contacts between the sand grains on a macroscopic shear plane. The ... -
Discussion of “<i>Shaft Resistance of a Model Pile in Clay</i>” by Indrasurya B. Mochtar and Tuncer B. Edil (November, 1988, Vol. 114, No. 11)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990) -
Lessons Learned from Compacted Clay Liner
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A highly plastic clay liner was compacted in the field with full‐sized equipment to an average of more than 100% of standard Proctor maximum dry density. The average field permeabilities of two sections of the liner, as ... -

Centrifugal Modeling of Drains for Slope Stabilization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Horizontal drains are commonly used to stabilize slopes or embankments in which ground‐water seepage is the main cause of instability. When using horizontal drains to remedy an unstable slope, the length, spacing, and ... -
Evaluation of In Situ Effective Shear Modulus from Dispersion Measurements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A procedure is described for evaluating shear modulus depth profiles of uniformly deposited soil strata. The method combines steady-state vibration techniques for subsoil exploration and results from the analytical treatment ... -
Stabilizing Compacted Clay against Chemical Attack
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Concentrated organic chemicals have been shown to cause large increases in the hydraulic conductivity of compacted clay. Mechanical and chemical methods of stabilizing four different types of compacted clay against chemical ... -
Hydrocompression Settlement of Deep Fills
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)TWO subdivisions in southern California constructed on compacted‐sandy‐clay fills up to 100 ft thick experienced settlement damage several years after construction. These fills were designed and constructed using the same ... -

One‐Dimensional Consolidation With Three‐Dimensional Flow for Time‐Dependent Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Deep natural deposits of unstable or excessively compressible soils can be stabilized by installation of sand drains. Sand drains installed in highly compressible soils provide higher rates of consolidation and, consequently, ... -
Active Earth Pressure on Walls with Base Projection
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The effect of base projection on the active earth pressure, a classical problem in the calculation of earth pressure forces on retaining walls, is presented. Four conclusions may be drawn. The first is that the failure ... -
Hyperbolic Parameters for Compacted Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Finite element methods are being used more and more during design, in cases involving compacted soil‐structure interaction. In general, it is not practical to conduct extensive tests to obtain the compacted soil properties ... -
La Villita Dam Response during Five Earthquakes including Permanent Deformation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)La Villita is a 60 m high earth and rockfill dam located 350 km southwest of Mexico City, Mexico. Since its construction the dam has been subjected to six major earthquakes, of which five are believed to be responsible for ... -
Modeling Field Infiltration into Unsaturated Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)This paper describes the results of a numerical simulation of the observed field behavior of infiltration into an unsaturated clay. In particular, the autumnal recharge of 1984 is considered. A numerical solution of ... -
Dynamic Replacement and Mixing of Organic Soils with Sand Charges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Field trials were initiated to investigate the feasibility of minimizing secondary as well as enforcing primary compression of peaty clays by dynamic replacement and mixing (DRM) with sand charges using conventional heavy ... -
Reliability Model for Soil Liner: Post Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A methodology is presented for predicting postconstruction reliability of full‐scale soil liners given a set of direct and indirect (compaction moisture content and dry density) permeability measurements from a test fill. ... -
Settlement and Moisture Movement in Collapsible Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The infiltration of ponded water beneath a footing on collapsible soil is monitored. Soil suction, water content, and footing settlement measurements are made. Laboratory infiltration tests are used to predict the extent ... -
Bearing Capacity of Expanded‐Base Piles in Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The results of loading tests are used to develop empirical correlations between the point‐bearing resistance of expanded‐base piles and the results of standard penetration tests. The resistance is shown to be proportional ...
