One‐Dimensional Loading‐Rate Effects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)It has long been recognized that the one‐dimensional or uniaxial strain response of most soils subjected to high‐intensity transient loads (i.e., blast pulses) differs from the response measured under quasi‐static loading ... -
Analysis of Compressibility of Sensitive Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Sensitive soils, in general, are prone to mechanical disturbances while sampling, handling, and testing. This necessitates the prediction of true field behavior. The compressibility response of such soils is typical of ... -
Discussion of “<i>Erosion Rate of Compacted Na‐Montmorillonite Soils</i>” by Alaeddin Shaikh, James F. Ruff, and Steven R. Abt (May, 1988, Vol. 114, No. 3)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989) -
Sample Disturbance of Collapsible Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Collapsible soils are susceptible to a large reduction in volume upon wetting. For the soil tested, the sampling process did have an effect on the laboratory test results. The process of driving a Shelby Tube into the ... -
Effect of Disturbance on Pressuremeter Results in Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The installation of the pressuremeter probe in the ground causes disturbance to the adjacent soil, resulting in the formation of an annular zone of remolded soil around the probe. In the conventional pressuremeter test, ... -
Kinematical Limit Analysis for Design of Soil‐Nailed Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Soil nailing is an in situ soil reinforcement technique that has been used during the last two decades mainly in France and Germany to retain excavations or stabilize slopes. Design of soil‐nailed systems has been traditionally ... -
Discussion of “<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, 1989) -
Monitored Decisions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The suppression of innovation and matters of regulations and litigation too often stem from our traditional approach to the engineering design process, in which problems are considered and decisions made during design. ... -
Settlements of Bangna‐Bangpakong Highway on Soft Bangkok Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)Time‐settlement data of more than 30 different sections of the 55‐km long Bangna‐Bangpakong Highway in Thailand are analyzed. The deformation parameters, namely: undrained modulus, -
Geostatic Wall Pressures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)It is shown that the single closed-form expression, ☌ -

Ray‐path Curvature in Shallow Seismic Investigations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Equations for seismic ray‐path curvature are presented for both linear and nonlinear velocity versus depth models. Techniques are then developed for correcting cross‐hole results for ray‐path curvature and for determining ... -
Laboratory Tests of Strip Footing on Reinforced Cohesive Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Results of an experimental investigation into the bearing-capacity aspects of reinforced cohesive soils are presented. Undrained model tests are carried out on strip footings on unreinforced and reinforced cohesive soil. ... -
Collapse of Compacted Clayey Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Compacted soils wetted under load can both swell and collapse (subside) depending on their condition and the magnitude of the vertical overburden stress. One‐dimensional compression tests were conducted to clarify the ... -
Validity of Smith Model in Pile Driving Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Smith developed a wave equation method by idealizing a pile‐soil system as a series of masses and springs for the analyses of complicated pile driving problems. The soil parameters used in this method were proposed on the ... -
Fissure Parameters in Stiff Clays under Compression
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Stiff clays and shales forming part of natural slopes and earth dams contain fissures in their structure. Very little is known about the effect that fissure parameters such as orientation, length, number of fissures, and ... -
Closure to “<i>Seepage Towards Vertical Cuts</i>” by Angel Muleshkov and Sunirmal Banerjee (December, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 6)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989) -
Energy Transfer Mechanism in SPT
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A closed-form solution for a rigid-plastic soil penetration function is used to qualitatively investigate the energy transmission characteristics of the Standard Penetration test. It is shown that the percentage of the ... -
Sensitive Strata in Bootlegger Cove Formation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Sensitivity magnitudes are interpreted from remolded strength values in recent subsurface geologic, geotechnical, and geochemical data from the Bootlegger Cove Formation adjacent to the Turnagain Heights Landslide. The ... -
In Situ Hydraulic Conductivity Tests for Compacted Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)This paper summarizes the state of the art for in situ conductivity testing of compacted clay soils. Nine methods of testing are reviewed: (1) The Boutwell permeameter; (2) constant‐head borehole permeameters, e.g., the ...
