Stress‐Path‐Dependent Correction for Membrane Penetration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A general procedure for stress‐path‐dependent correction of the effects of membrane penetration has been developed. The correction procedure makes use of an analytical description of membrane‐penetration behavior incorporated ... -

Filtration of Broadly Graded Cohesionless Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The filtration mechanism of broadly graded soils is different from that of uniform soils. The well‐known filter criteria have been found unsatisfactory in selecting filters to retain the former soils. It is obvious that ... -
Alternate Analysis of Pressuremeter Test
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)An improved interpretation method of the pressuremeter test is presented. The geometric nonlinearity of soil behavior is accounted for by adopting a nonlinear strain‐displacement relationship (Eulerian form). Also, the ... -
Injection of Fine Sands with Very Fine Cement Grout
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The use of very fine cement grouts for injection into fine to medium sands has been proposed recently to circumvent problems associated with the permanence and toxicity of chemical grouts and the inability of ordinary ... -
Construction and Performance of Two Large Rockfill Embankments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)TWO rockfill embankments were constructed as sites for building refinery structures in western Colorado. The fills ranged in maximum thickness from 80‐155 ft (25‐48 m). Test fills were done to develop construction‐method ... -
Upgrading Footings in Sand With Bored Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Upgrading of extant shallow foundations by bored piles is examined by field tests. Tests include single piles in tension and compression, plate‐load tests, and tests on groups consisting of a central plate and two adjacent ... -
Factors Influencing Thermal Resistivity of Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Although many engineering projects require assessment of the thermal properties of soils for use in heat transfer calculations, geotechnical engineers are often unfamiliar with procedures for measuring these properties. A ... -
Erratum “<i>Experimental p‐y Model for Submerged Stiff Clay</i>” by T. W. Dunnavant and M. W. O'Neill (January, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989) -
Test Embankment Dam of Fracture Grouting
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A fracture-grouting test section is a 7.1-m-high homogeneous dam of compacted silty clay on a foundation of the same material. Four test holes with different depths and lengths of casing are drilled at the dam crest along ... -
Clay Waste Pond Reclamation by Sand/Clay Mix or Capping
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)During the phosphate beneficiation process, substantial quantities of waste clays are produced that are typically disposed of in large impoundment areas. Due to the low permeability and self‐weight of these clay slurries, ... -
Composite Infinite Element for Modeling Unbounded Saturated‐soil Media
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)This paper discusses the development of a mapped‐type compositeinfinite element for modeling the response of unbounded saturated‐soil media. The coordinate ascent mapping technique that uses conventional shape functions ... -
Eccentrically‐obliquely Loaded Footing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to predict the pressure-settlement and pressure-tilt characteristics of eccentrically-obliquely loaded footings using the hyperbolic stress-strain curves of soils as nonlinear ... -
Erratum “<i>Uncertainty in Steady State Liquefaction Evaluation Procedures</i>” by Steven L. Kramer (October, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 10)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989) -
Interpretation Procedure for Pressuremeter Tests in Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A new approach for the interpretation of pressuremeter tests in sands is proposed that permits the determination of shear strength characteristics, dilatancy properties, and shear modulus from the anlaysis of pressuremeter ...
