Probabilistic Potentiometric Surface Mapping
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The paper provides a methodology to estimate the spatial variation of potentiometric surfaces, allowing for possible uncertainties such as instrument errors, human errors, and statistical errors. The spatial variation is ... -
New Basis for Earthwork Specification for Clay Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)This paper presents the results of a study to improve the prediction of the in‐service behavior of several field‐compacted Indiana soils. The data base was created from testing of field‐compacted samples taken from test ... -
Necessary Redundancy in Geotechnical Engineering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The causes of geotechnical engineering failures are listed and discussed. Many of these could have been prevented or damages mitigated if redundancy had been used in design and construction. Redundancy is defined in special ... -
Model Tests of Gravity Platforms. I: Description
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Five model tests were performed to qualify the concept of a monobase gravity platform for the Troll Field in the North Sea. These tests were designed to simulate the conditions for a platform situated in deep water -
Field Tests on Bored Piles Subject to Axial and Oblique Pull
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The ultimate oblique pull of bored piles in sand was examined by a field testing program. Tests included axial uplift tests, lateral load tests, and oblique tests at an angle of 30° with the pile axis. The piles used were ... -
Model Tests of Gravity Platforms. II: Interpretation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The paper presents the interpretation of five model tests on soft clay performed to qualify the concept of a monobase gravity platform for the Troll Field in the North Sea. The test program contained one static, one static ... -
Discussion of “<i>Concrete Pile Design in Tidewater Virginia</i>” by Ray E. Martin, James J. Seli, Graydon W. Powell, and Michael Bertoulin (June, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 6)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989) -
Chart for Allowable Soil Pressure Based on Schmertmann's Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Curves for estimating allowable pressures, for square footings on sand, have been computed using Schmertmann's method for settlement prediction. Although the form of these curves is consistent with Taylor's qualitative ... -

Relative Compaction of Fill Having Oversize Particles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Three methods used to determine the relative compaction of fill having oversize particles are compared. For the purpose of this study, oversize particles are defined as rock that is retained on the 3/4-in. (19-mm) sieve, ... -

Consolidation of Sensitive Clay as Phase Change Process
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)In one‐dimensional consolidation tests, sensitive clays exhibit a nonlinear compression behavior characterized by a small change in void ratio up to the maximum past effective vertical stress, followed by an abrupt decrease ... -
Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)An approach for stability analysis of geosynthetic reinforced earth structures over firm foundations is presented. The approach involves both internal and external stability analyses. The internal stability analysis is ... -
Strain Increment and Stress Directions in Torsion Shear Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The directions of the major principal strain increment, stress, and stress increment during rotation of the principal stress axes at any stress level are studied for -
Laboratory Evaluation of Lateral Swelling Pressure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A laboratory technique for the determination of the lateral swelling pressure of expansive clays is described. The method uses a hydraulic triaxial cell fitted with a lateral strain belt, and is based on the ``Method of ... -
Uncertainty in Steady‐State Liquefaction Evaluation Procedures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The effects of uncertainty in the steady‐state procedure for evaluation of liquefaction potential are evaluated and discussed. While steady‐state concepts provide a useful framework for understanding of the liquefaction ... -
Nonisothermal Consolidation in Unsaturated Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Consolidation of unsaturated soil depends upon changes in stress‐state variables resulting from applied stress and movement of pore water and gas. Water movement is highly dependent on heat flow, and much water movement ...
