Strain Compatibility Design Method for Reinforced Earth Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The methods currently used for the design of reinforced earth walls with quasi‐inextensible metallic reinforcements are essentially based either upon the limit stress analysis concept or empirical relationships derived ... -
Bearing Capacity of Footings Adjacent to Slopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)In this paper, analytical solutions have been developed for obtaining ultimate bearing capacity of footings adjacent to slopes using limit equilibrium and limit analysis approaches. One‐sided rupture failure on the side ... -
Rocking Damping of Arbitrarily Shaped Embedded Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A simple analytical model is developed for estimating the rocking radiation damping coefficients of arbitrarily shaped rigid foundations embedded in an elastic homogeneous halfspace. The model, based on sound physical ... -
Impedance Functions and Input Motions for Embedded Square Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Tables of impedance functions and effective input motions for rigid square foundations embedded in a uniform elastic half‐space are presented. The tables include numerical results obtained by a hybrid approach for embedment ... -
Closure to “<i>Concrete‐Face Rockfill Dam: I. Assessment</i>” by James L. Sherard and J. Barry Cooke (October, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 10)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989) -
Rocking Stiffness of Arbitrarily Shaped Embedded Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A simple procedure to compute the static and dynamic rocking stiffness of arbitrarily shaped rigid foundations embedded in a reasonably deep and homogeneous soil deposit is developed. The method is based on an improved ... -
Surficial Stability of Compacted Clay Slopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Surficial failures are quite common and are caused by a reduction in shear strength due to saturation and swell coupled with a condition of seepage parallel to the slope face. An equation relating factor of safety to depth ... -
Closure to “<i>Elastic Foundation Settlements on Sand Deposits</i>” by Joseph E. Bowles (August, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 8)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989) -
Lateral Pile Interaction Factors in Submerged Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Groups of laterally loaded piles can be analyzed for displacement and distribution of loads among the piles heads by means of a stiffness matrix equation that incorporates individual pile stiffnesses and the influences of ... -
Arch in Soil Arching
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)It is shown theoretically that the arch describing the minor principal stress in the soil behind a retaining wall can be approximated by a catenary which is very close to circular in the range of interest. -
Discrete Numerical Model for Soil Mechanics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The Distinct Element Method (DEM), a numerical technique which treats soil as a discrete assemblage of particles, can be useful when local yield, bifurcation behavior or nonlinear soil‐structure interaction occurs. A ... -
Discussion of “<i>Evaluation of Settlements in Sands Due to Earthquake Shaking</i>” by Kohji Tokimatsu and H. Bolton Seed (August, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 8)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989) -
Investigation of Crushed Rock Filters for Dam Embankment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A laboratory investigation of crushed rock filters is made to evaluate the filter criteria needed for the sandy clays and silts of tropical residual soils. The ability of a downstream filter to seal a concentrated leak ... -

Volume Change Behavior of Vibrated Sand Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Densification of granular soil during vibration was investigated using laboratory experiments. Longitudinal vibration was applied to cylindrical columns of sand. The apparatus simplified the boundary conditions of the ... -
Erratum “<i>Behavior and Properties of Hydraulic Fills</i>” by Robert L. Schiffman, Steven G. Vick, and Robert E. Gibson (August 15–18, 1988)

Analytical Model for Longitudinal Soil Vibration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)An analytical model is derived to provide solutions for longitudinal vibration of soil columns. The model uses a Kelvin‐Voigt element in which the dynamic stresses are the sum of viscous and elastic components. Damping is ... -
Geotechnical Input to Major Bridge Project
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The Gateway Bridge in Brisbane, Australia, is a major structure by world standards. It crosses the Brisbane River to form a link in easterly bypass of the city of Brisbane. The total length of the structure is 1,627 m, ...
