Tension Crack Development in Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A model is proposed for finite‐element modeling of tension crack propagation in soils. The essential features of this model are the splitting of a single node into two distinct nodes in the wake of an advancing crack tip ... -
Settlement Response of Soft Soils Reinforced by Compacted Sand Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Stone/compacted sand columns is a technique of soil reinforcement that is frequently implemented in soft cohesive soils to increase the bearing capacity of the foundation soil, to reduce the settlement, and to accelerate ... -
Constitutive Parameters Estimated by Plasticity Index
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A large testing program, consisting of triaxial compression, triaxial extension, and oedometer tests on 12 artificially prepared soils was performed. The soils exhibited a wide range in plasticity index, from 10–55. These ... -
Cohesionless Soil Behavior Under Random Excitation Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Little is known about the behavior of soil when subjected to random loading. A testing program was undertaken in which dry sand at different confining pressures was tested in a resonant column device using random torsional ... -
Modulus and Damping Due to Uniform and Variable Cyclic Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Laboratory tests are run on five different cohesionless soils to determine their modulus and damping characteristics. Torsional simple shear and resonant column tests are performed by the same test apparatus in order to ... -
Cyclic Stability Diagram for Axially Loaded Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)This paper develops the idea of a cyclic stability diagram in which the mean and cyclic axial loads on a pile are plotted and three regions are identified: (1) A stable zone in which cyclic loading has no effect on pile ... -
Static Analysis Model for Double Sheet‐Pile Wall Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A calculation model for estimating static behavior when a double sheet‐pile wall structure is subjected to horizontal force is proposed, and a comparison is made between the results of calculations and those of model tests ... -
Measurement and Analysis of Jointing Properties in Fine‐grained Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Jointing can have significant effects on the permeability, shear strength, compressibility, and slope stability of fine‐grained soils. Field measurement of jointing characteristics is an important step in the development ... -
Settlement of Shallow Foundations on Granular Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A conceptual framework for understanding the effects of overconsolidation in reducing the compressibility of all types of soil is presented. A generally applicable method for estimating the settlement of footings on granular ... -

Closure to “<i>Soil Anchors and Constitutive Laws</i>” by Swami Saran, Gopal Ranjan, and A. S. Nene (December, 1986, Vol. 112, No. 12)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988) -
Level Ground Soil‐Liquefaction Analysis Using in Situ Properties: I
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Based on Maxwell's pioneering work, on the electrical conduction through heterogeneous media a fundamental approach utilizing the electrical properties of soils to characterize their grain (particle shape) and aggregate ... -
Level Ground Soil‐Liquefaction Analysis Using in Situ Properties: II
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Current methods for level ground soil‐liquefaction analysis involve the use of a stress ratio required to cause liquefaction obtained from laboratory testing of small element samples. Limited field evidence and considerable ... -
