Penetration and Liquefaction Resistances: Prior Seismic History Effects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Cyclic triaxial tests and cone penetration tests performed in large-scale triaxial samples are used to evaluate the effects of prior cyclic-strain history on the liquefaction and penetration resistances of a fine, uniformly ... -
Three‐Dimensional Stability Analysis of Concave Slopes in Plan View
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)This paper proposes a simple, practical method of three‐dimensional stability analysis for concave slopes in plan view using the equilibrium concept. The force equilibrium and the moment equilibrium conditions over failure ... -
Compression Index: Misleading Parameter?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The limitations of the compression index -
Static Response of Deeply Buried Elliptical Tubes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A parametric study of elliptical tubes deeply buried in uniform elastic ground is reported. The static tube response is determined using both analytical and numerical methods for a range of tube geometries and ground and ... -
Modified Calculation of Pile‐Group Settlement Interaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A procedure that allows for the influence of the greater soil-mass stiffness between piles is described for calculating group settlement interaction factors. For the calculation of the settlement of a pile due to the ... -
Correlation of Pipeline Damage with Ground Motions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Data on pipeline damage rates for several earthquakes has been compiled and correlated with various ground motion parameters depending on the intensity of the ground shaking. For transient, low-intensity ground shaking ... -
FEM Analysis of Elastic Stress Distributions in Embankments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Elastic stress distributions due to self-weight in embankments are analyzed with the finite element method (FEM). The results are compared with available analytical solutions. It is demonstrated that analytical solutions ... -
Direct Determination of Permeability of Clay under Embankment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Numerous methods are used to measure the permeability of clays in laboratory and in situ. It is well known that these methods lead to different -
Erosion Rate of Dispersive and Nondispersive Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Erosion rates of unsaturated compacted sodium and calcium montmorillonite clays are measured under a range of tractive shear stresses. The calcium montmorillonite is treated with additives calcium chloride and sodium ... -
Boundary‐Element Analysis for Unconfined Seepage Problems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A boundary‐element solution procedure is illustrated and applied to the analyses of both steady‐state and non‐steady‐state unconfined seepage problems. These analyses are performed for a laboratory model and prototype earth ... -
Can Cam‐Clay Model Be Generalized?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The development of the Cam‐clay model, based on critical state concepts associated with the plasticity theory, is a consequence of the geotechnical engineer's desire to simply predict the behavior of fine‐grained soils ... -
Pressuremeter Test and Disturbance Effects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The effect of Poisson's ratio on the disturbance index is considered by obtaining solutions to expansion of cylindrical cavities in layered elastic system. For a specific size of the remolded annulus, the disturbance index ... -
Closed‐Form Heave Solutions for Expansive Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)During the past decade, the theory for heave prediction has developed within the context of unsaturated soil behavior and has become a valuable tool for geotechnical practice. The laboratory procedures for testing expansive ... -
Permeability and Compressibility of Slurries from Seepage‐Induced Consolidation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A one‐dimensional mathematical model based on finitestrain theory is developed to solve the problem of seepage‐induced consolidation in sedimented slurries or very soft clays. The direct solution employs known or assumed ... -
Bearing Capacity for Foundations with Cyclic Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The paper presents a procedure to calculate the bearing capacity for foundations subjected to a combination of static and cyclic loads under undrained conditions. The term cyclic shear strength is defined, and laboratory ... -
