Hydraulic Conductivity of Compacted Clay to Dilute Organic Chemicals
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Four organic chemicals over a range of concentrations were permeated through compacted specimens of kaolinite and illite‐chlorite. Permeability tests were performed in both rigid and flexible‐wall permeameters. Soil index ... -
1‐<i>D</i> Strain in Normally Consolidated Cohesionless Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)A stress‐strain model for one‐dimensional strain in normally consolidated cohesionless soils is compared to test results covering the stress range from 0 to 1,300 atmospheres. The model is called the “1/ -
Compression and Extension of K0 Normally Consolidated Kaolin Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Theories for soil deformation and strength have generally been developed from tests on isotropically consolidated samples. However, evidence from tests on anisotropically consolidated reconstituted soils and natural soils ... -
Load‐Deformation Response of Axially Loaded Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)A new empirical scheme for simulating the nonlinear point resistance response of single piles in cohesionless soils is proposed. The pile‐soil system is idealized by using a one‐dimensional finite element technique. The ... -
Discussion of “<i>Piston Core Properties and Disturbance Effects</i>” by Harold W. Olsen, Thomas L. Rice, Paul W. Mayne, and Ram. D. Singh (June, 1986, Vol. 112, No. 6)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987) -
Discussion of “<i>Dynamic Compaction in Friable Loess</i>” by Alan J. Lutenegger (June, 1986, Vol. 112, No. 6)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987) -
Basic Research on Cutting Forces in Saturated Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)A theory for the cutting of sand under water has been developed. During the process of cutting saturated sand, the deformation rate is very important because of the effect of dilatancy. Decreasing pore‐water pressure due ... -
Experimental Half‐Space Dynamic Stiffness
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Experiments determining the dynamic stiffness of footings attached to or embedded in the model half‐space were conducted. The footings, both circular and rectangular, were forced into vertical vibration, and the dynamic ... -
Mapping of Liquefaction Severity Index
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)A technique is developed for compiling liquefaction hazard maps by mapping a parameter termed liquefaction severity index (LSI). LSI, a measure of ground failure displacement, is based on the displacement of lateral spreads ... -
Discussion of “<i>Compaction‐Induced Earth Pressures Under Ko‐Conditions</i>” by J. M. Duncan and R. B. Seed (January, 1986, Vol. 112, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987) -
Closure to “<i>Compaction‐Induced Earth Pressures Under Ko‐Conditions</i>” by J. M. Duncan and R. B. Seed (January, 1986, Vol. 112, No. 1)

Elasto‐Plastic Seismic Response of 3‐D Earth Dams: Theory
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)A simplified cost‐effective analytical‐numerical procedure is developed for the nonlinear hysteretic seismic analysis of three‐dimensional (3‐D) nonhomogeneous, one‐zone earth dams. The procedure can be applied efficiently ... -
Discussion of “<i>The Design of Macagua Concrete Face Rockfill Dam</i>” by Z. Prusza, K. De Fries, and F. Luque (pp. 608–617)

Elasto‐Plastic Seismic Response of 3‐D Earth Dams: Application
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The procedure outlined in the companion paper is applied to compute the nonlinear response of an earth dam to a 3‐D input strong motion with recorded maximum acceleration of 1.2 g (in the upstream‐downstream direction). ... -
Cyclic Lateral Loading of a Large‐Scale Pile Group
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)A large‐scale group of nine steel‐pipe piles in a closely‐spaced arrangement was subjected to two‐way, cyclic, lateral loading with water above the ground surface. The test was conducted in stiff, overconsolidated clay at ... -
Rate Effects in Pressuremeter Tests in Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The response of soil loaded in a pressuremeter test is inherently time‐dependent; even for an “undrained” test in a clay, some consolidation will occur. The pressuremeter expansion will also be affected by creep of the ...
