Earth Pressure on Retaining Walls Near Rock Faces
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The present study examines the lateral earth pressure transferred to a rigid retaining wall by granular fill confined between the wall and an adjacent rock face. The centrifuge modeling technique is used to test small ... -
Wharf Bulkhead Behavior at Fulton Terminal 6
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Observations on a new cellular wharf bulkhead adjacent to an older similar structure provide the opportunity to assess the suitability of a newly proposed design procedure. Data are obtained that justify the use of the new ... -

Lateral Stiffness of Contact Pile Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The static horizontal stiffness of pile foundations, for which there is continuous contact between the bottom of the pile cap and the underlying soil, is studied. Finite element results for a single pile with a circular ... -

Uncertainty in Dynamic Anisotropic Strength of Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)A statistical model is proposed here to estimate the in situ anistropic cyclic shear strength of a saturated sand deposit. Triaxial test results are used to develop the basic model; it is then modified for in situ conditions ... -
Inclination Factors for Strip Footings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Surface strip footings subjected to central load inclined in the direction of footing length are investigated. Model tests are carried out on saturated clay of medium plasticity using 25.4-mm wide strip footing under load ... -
Horizontal Stiffness of Arbitrarily Shaped Embedded Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Using a boundary element formulation, a systematic parametric study is performed on the static and dynamic horizontal stiffness of arbitrarily shaped rigid foundations embedded in a reasonably deep and homogeneous soil ... -
Rate Effects And Cyclic Loading of Sensitive Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The paper presents the results of a series of monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests carried out to study the influence of the rate of strain and load cycles on the undrained shear strength of three undisturbed sensitive clays ... -
Open Caissons for Deep Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Open caissons are a very efficient method of deep foundation, provided the ground conditions are favorable. Design and construction of a 60‐m deep shaft, 27.0‐m ID for a pumped storage hydroelectric power station is ... -
Pile Capacity in Calcareous Sands: State if the Art
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Driven piles in calcareous sands may have only a small fraction of the capacity of driven piles in noncarbonate sands. This has become a particular problem in the offshore and coastal areas of Australia, India, Saudi Arabia, ... -
Constitutive Model for Rocks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)A constitutive model based on the theory of plasticity is proposed and used to characterize stress‐deformation behavior of rocks. It allows for factors such as hardening, volume changes, stress paths, cohesive and tensile ... -
Collapse Load of Strip Footing Above Circular Void
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Equations relating collapse footing pressure with soil strength property and void conditions for strip footings centered above continuous circular voids are developed using the upper bound theorem of limit analysis. Results ... -
Horizontal Damping of Arbitrarily Shaped Embedded Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Using numerical results obtained by the boundary element method, the paper develops a simple method involving algebraic formulas and dimensionless parametric charts for estimating the lateral radiation damping coefficients ... -
Dilatometer Testing in Highly Overconsolidated Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The dilatometer was first introduced by Marchetti in 1975. This new in situ device has a very large potential in evaluating some important soil properties. The knowledge of drainage conditions during penetration is an ... -
