Discussion of “<i>Rotation of Principal Directions in Ko‐Consolidated Clay</i>” by Pierre‐Yves Hicher and Poul V. Lade (July, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 7)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989) -
Elasticity of Particulate Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Problems associated with isolation, measurement, and modeling the elastic behavior of particulate materials are discussed. Because of pervasive yielding, exclusively elastic behavior of particulate materials is restricted ... -
Closure to “<i>Rate Effects in Pressuremeter Tests in Clays</i>” by W. F. Anderson, I. C. Pyrah, and F. H. Ali (November, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 11)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989) -
Discussion of “<i>Retaining Walls with Sloped Base</i>” by Michael T. Elman and Charles F. Terry (September, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 9)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989) -
Downdrag Forces in Group of Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)This paper describes a boundary element analysis for analyzing the behavior of a group of end‐bearing piles subjected to negative friction. It is found that group effects lead to a reduction in downdrag force in a pile, ... -
Shear Behavior of Regular Triangular Concrete/Rock Joints—Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A series of analytical expressions was developed in the companion paper to describe in detail the shear behavior of regular triangular concrete/rock joints. However, in order to evaluate the relevancy and accuracy of these ... -
Closure to “<i>Retaining Walls with Sloped Base</i>” by Michael T. Elman and Charles F. Terry (September, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 9)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989) -
Low‐Stress Dilation Test
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A new test to measure the low‐stress dilation behavior of cohesionless soils subjected to plane strain has been developed. Very large strains (30–35%) have been applied to sand specimens while approximately maintaining the ... -
Discussion of “<i>Cyclic Lateral Loading of a Large‐Scale Pile Group</i>” by Dan A. Brown Lymon C. Reese, and Michael W. O'Neill (November, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 11)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989) -
Load Transfer Behavior of Rock‐Socketed Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The research reported is concerned with the load transfer behavior of rock‐socketed bored piles. Several large‐diameter instrumented piles were load tested to at least twice their working/design loads. The piles were ... -
Discussion of “<i>Analysis of Residual Stress Effects in Piles”</i> by H. G. Poulos (March, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 3)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989) -
1‐D Strain in Normally Consolidated Cohesive Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A stress‐strain model for one‐dimensional strain in normally consolidated cohesive soils is compared to test results covering the stress range 0–950 atm. The model is called the “l/e vs. -
Storage of Heated Water in Underground Openings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A study is carried out of the anticipated effects on the rock surrounding a storage cavern due to the storage of water at elevated temperatures. Properties of granite and andesite at temperatures between 15 ° C and 100 ° ... -
Shear Behavior of Regular Triangular Concrete/Rock Joints—Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)When a bored pile is formed in a soft or weak rock, the contact between the concrete of the pile and the wall of the rock socket is equivalent to a rough rock joint. When the pile is loaded, the side shear resistance ... -
Reliability Model for Soil Liners: Initial Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)An initial design methodology is presented to estimate post‐construction reliability of soil liners, where reliability is defined as the probability that the post‐construction effective hydraulic conductivity -
Nonlinear Failure Envelope for Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The reasons for nonlinearity of failure envelopes for soils are examined and a simple expression for the variation of the angle of shearing strength with stress level is proposed. The nonlinear failure envelope in terms ... -
Evaluation of Deep Pumping Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A previously described finite element model for analyzing the effects of pumping and recovery in deep aquifers has been implemented on a micro‐computer. The system includes the effects of leaky aquifers, wellbore storage, ... -
Behavior of Foundation Clays Supporting Compliant Offshore Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Piles supporting compliant offshore structures subject the foundation soils to large cyclic shear stresses superimposed on significant static (sustained) stresses. In order to investigate the behavior of foundation clays ... -
Internally Braced Cuts in Overconsolidated Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The performance of five internally braced cuts is reviewed. The excavations are made in overconsolidated Gulf Coast soils in Texas and Louisiana. Excavation depths range from 23 to 60 ft (7.0 to 18.3 m); the braces are ... -
Tieback Supported Cuts in Overconsolidated Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The performance of 11 tieback‐supported cuts is reviewed. The excavations were made in overconsolidated Gulf Coast soils in Texas. Excavation depths ranged from 27 to 64 ft (8.2 to 19.5 m). The measured performance ...
