Seismically Induced Flow Slide on Centrifuge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Some initial results of centrifuge model tests to examine the mechanism causing flow failure of a less permeable layer resting on a more permeable layer, subjected to seismic loading conditions, is presented. The centrifuge ... -
Liquefaction Resistance of Artificially Cemented Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)This paper summarizes the experimental results of cyclic triaxial and resonant column tests with artificially cemented sand specimens. Since the samples for both types of tests were prepared with one‐to‐one correspondence ... -
Discussion of “<i>Postconstruction Deformation of Rockfill Dams</i>” by Oscar Dascal (January, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988) -
Pore Pressure Behavior of Ko‐Consolidated Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)It is a common belief that negative incremental pore pressures occur during undrained triaxial compression loading of clays with overconsolidation ratios greater than approximately 4. While this behavior is characteristic ... -
Study of Soil‐Root Interaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Soil reinforcement by roots is studied by considering the contribution of the tensile force in a root segment that intersects a potential slip surface in a soil‐root system. To evaluate the tensile force when the system ... -
Earthquake‐Induced Shear Stresses in Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Closed-form expressions for the earthquake-induced shear stress magnitude in soils and its phase shift with respect to the ground acceleration are presented. They are expressed as functions of the depth, the damping ratio ... -

Shaft Resistance of Model Pile in Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A test apparatus to measure the load transfer along the shaft of a model pile inserted in a specimen of clay is described. This apparatus allows independent control of the boundary stresses of a cylindrical clay specimen ... -
Study of S<sub>u</sub> Predicted by Pressuremeter Test
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)There are at least five different methods for interpreting the results of field pressuremeter tests. Each of these methods yields different values of undrained shear strength when applied to the same pressuremeter test. A ... -
Influence of Discontinuous Joints on Permeability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Extensive jointing is a fabric feature that is common to many finegrained soils with high clay content. Both naturally occurring and recompacted soil deposits have been known to exhibit extensively jointed fabrics. Jointing ... -
Creep Response of Model Pile in Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The shaft creep response of a model pile inserted in a specimen of clay is studied under constant pile loads at varying percentages of the ultimate shaft resistance. The top and lateral surfaces of the clay specimen could ... -
Soil Reaction Stresses on Offshore Gravity Platforms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The paper summarizes the results of analyses of soil reaction stresses on offshore gravity platforms. Three aspects are considered herein: (1) Stress distribution on individual foundation skirts; (2) horizontal load sharing ... -
Uplift Behavior of Horizontal Anchor Plates in Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The influence of anchor geometry, embedment, and soil density on the uplift capacity of one‐meter prototype anchors is investigated by subjecting 25‐mm models to an acceleration of 40 g in the Liverpool centrifuge. Uplift ... -
Lateral Load Behavior of Pile Group in Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A large‐scale group of steel pipe piles and an isolated single pile were subjected to two‐way cyclic lateral loading. The tests were conducted in a submerged firm to dense sand that was placed and compacted around the ... -
Soil Springs for Buried Pipeline Axial Motion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The response of a buried pipeline to seismic waves is controlled by differential movements along its length. The axial movement of the pipeline is restrained by friction forces at the soil-pipe interface. Tests performed ... -
Retaining Walls With Sloped Heel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)VerticalHorizontal soil force on the heel of cantilever retaining wall is a very significant part of the total horizontal soil force considered in the calculation for sliding. Practically, the force on heel can be from ... -
Stability Factors in Groin Engineering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The stability of a groin in a littoral system is dependent upon the engineering properties of the embedment soil and the fluid dimension. If the sub-bed soil is an ideal cohesionless deposit, the groin rigid and impermeable, ... -
Bulkhead Failure Investigation and Redesign
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A 300‐ft‐long anchored bulkhead at Kake, Alaska, failed following placement of fill behind the bulkhead wall. The entire wall rotated outward at the toe and moved downslope 40 to 60 ft. No on‐site over‐water borings had ... -
Model Behavior of Prestressed Tie‐back
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Tie‐back walls are frequently used presently for the support of deep excavations, yet soil‐structure interaction under “service” conditions is not really understood. This study is an attempt to analyze the problem using ... -
Undrained Monotonic and Cyclic Strength of Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Results of torsional shear tests on specimens of reconstituted 20‐30 Ottawa sand are presented to resolve inconsistencies in prevailing interpretations of previously published test results regarding: (1) The conditions ...
