Seismic Refraction Tests Above Water Table
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The note describes seismic refraction tests above a water table at shallow depth. The depth of water table estimated by the refraction test is always greater than the real level of the water. An interpretation based on the ... -
Effective Stress Dependence of Pile Shaft Capacity in Calcareous Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A series of model tests on grouted pile shafts in reconstituted calcareous sand is reported, in which the effective stress state is controlled by altering the back pressure in the soil and keeping the total pressure constant. ... -
Geotechnical Properties of Cemented Volcanic Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A volcaniclastic formation, known as Cangahua, found in the Andes of Ecuador and Colombia is focused on. The deposit is composed of moderately cemented fine sand and silt‐sized particles. A pronounced linear correlation ... -
Dynamic Stability of Rock Slopes and High Frequency Traveling Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)An investigation of high frequency, traveling wave excitation of a two‐dimensional, multiple block, rock slope was conducted with a discrete element model to quantify the effects of variable frequency blasting vibrations. ... -
Drained Permanent Deformation of Sand Due to Cyclic Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Due to cyclic loading, a soil sample may be either densified or loosened accompanied with cumulative shear deformations. The cumulative volume change and shear deformation behavior depend significantly on the static stress ... -
Discussion of “<i>Consolidation After Undrained Piezocone Penetration. I: Prediction</i>” by Mohsen M. Baligh and Jacques‐Noel Levadoux (July 1986)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988) -
Determining OCR in Clays from Laboratory Strength
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The results of triaxial or simple shear tests may be used to estimate the in situ overconsolidation ratio of clays using a SHANSEP database. A compilation of OCRs and normalized strengths from 116 different clays is presented ... -
Discussion of “<i>Consolidation After Undrained Piezocone Penetration. I: Prediction</i>” by Mohsen M. Baligh and Jacques‐Noel Levadoux (July 1986)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988) -
Prediction of Field Collapse of Soils Due to Wetting
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A series of oedometer tests are used to provide data for a quantitative prediction of soil collapse. A full scale field test is conducted to provide a benchmark for comparison with laboratory test results and predictions. ... -
Density Variation in Specimens Subjected to Cyclic and Monotonic Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The undrained cyclic triaxial test is widely used to evaluate the seismically induced liquefaction potential of saturated cohesionless soil. Concern that internal‐void‐ratio changes (redistribution) due to testing ... -
Finite Element Analysis of Random Soil Media
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Application of the stochastic finite element method to a probabilistic characterization of the system based on a random field model appears to be a promising method of analyzing the reliability of structural and geotechnical ... -
Field Measurements on Model Pile in Two Clay Deposits
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The piezo‐lateral stress (PLS) cell is an in situ testing device that is capable of providing simultaneous measurements of the total horizontal stress, the pore pressure, and the shear stress acting on cylindrical pile ... -

Endochronic Model of Sand with Circular Stress Path
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The endochronic constitutive equations developed previously by the writers for the description of sand behavior in true triaxial tests are applied to predict the behavior of Ottawa sand with a circular stress path in the ... -
Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles in Soft Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The results of an alternative procedure to the -

Differential Settlements in Steel Tanks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Case histories of tank settlement and damage are examined to determine which factors control the magnitude of differential settlements of tanks. The available data are used to assess the accuracy of conventional settlement ... -
