Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles in Permafrost
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Relatively simple analytical procedures are developed for analyzing laterally loaded piles in permafrost. The procedures are based on a model, developed by Nixon, which analyzes a laterally loaded pile in permafrost as a ... -
Mechanical Behavior of Chemically Grouted Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Grouted sand is considered as a two‐phase particulate composite in which both the cohesive and adhesive properties of the grout and the particle‐to‐particle interaction of the sand are considered to contribute toward the ... -
Full‐Scale Cyclic Dynamic Lateral Pile Responses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)In the design of vertical piles subjected to lateral dynamic loads, the lateral soil resistance is often represented as a series of discrete springs, each with a nonlinear resistance‐deflection -
Uplift Capacity of Piles in Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)An analytical method has been proposed to predict the ultimate uplift capacity of piles embedded in sand. The method takes into consideration the length, diameter, and surface characteristics of piles and the soil properties. ... -
Fabric, Pore Size Distribution, and Permeability of Sandy Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Studies of the pore size characteristics and permeability of compacted sandy soils are described. Samples of mixtures of Ottawa sand and kaolinitic clay were prepared by kneading compaction and pluvial compaction was used ... -
Termination Criteria for Clay Permeability Testing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Linear regression and related statistical techniques are used to analyze hydraulic conductivity, ( -
Closure to “<i>Flow Field Around Cones in Steady Penetration</i>” by Mehmet T. Tumay, Yalcin B. Acar, Murat H. Cekirge, and Narayanan Ramesh (February, 1985, Vol. 111, No. 2)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987) -
Behavior of Laterally Loaded Piles in Permafrost
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Analytical evaluations are presented on the behavior of piles in permafrost subjected to long‐term lateral loads and unbalanced moments. Frozen soils that exhibit secondary (uniform) creep characteristics are considered. ... -
Discussion of “<i>Flow Field Around Cones in Steady Penetration</i>” by Mehmet T. Tumay, Yalcin B. Acar, Murat H. Cekirge, and Narayanan Ramesh (February, 1985, Vol. 111, No. 2)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987) -
Rigid Culvert Finite Element Analyses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Time‐independent analyses of five of ten zones of a dummy reinforced concrete pipe at Cross Canyon are presented. All five zones are characterized by “positive projection,” four in a narrow, vertical‐sided trench with a ... -
Lessons From Oedometer Tests on High Quality Samples
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)A well planned and carefully executed program of oedometer tests on high quality undisturbed samples is shown to provide considerable practical information about the soil properties of a natural, very stiff clay deposit. ... -
Analysis of Dynamic Laterally Loaded Pile in Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Analyses of a dynamic lateral load test conducted on a full‐sized pipe pile supporting a rigid cap‐mass superstructure are described. Three algorithms representing different categories of mathematical models that simulate ... -
Erratum: “<i>Dynamic Response of Arbitrarily Shaped Foundations: Experimental Verification</i>” by Ricardo Dobry, George Gazetas and Kenneth H. Stokoe, II (February, 1986)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986) -
Behavior of Fabric‐Versus Fiber‐Reinforced Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Triaxial compression tests were run to compare the stress‐strain response of a sand reinforced with continuous, oriented fabric layers as opposed to randomly distributed, discrete fibers. The influence of various test ... -
Stability Study of Crrel Permafrost Tunnel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Underground excavated openings in permafrost can have significant ground stability problems if the thermal regime of the area is disturbed. Other factors influencing ground stability besides temperature variation include ... -
Seismic Cpt to Measure in Situ Shear Wave Velocity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)A new test, called the seismic cone penetration test (SCPT) is described. A small rugged velocity seismometer has been incorporated into an electronic cone penetrometer. The combination of the seismic downhole method and ... -

(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986) -
Soil Randomly Reinforced with Fibers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)A fine-grained soil was mixed with 1% by volume of 20-mm-long synthetic fibers. Laboratory specimens were compacted at various water contents and tested in unconfined compression. Specimens compacted wet of optimum were ... -
Soil Arching in Sandy Slopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Recently soil arching theory has been extended to the study of forces and stresses exerted by a yielding soil mass against discrete piles embedded in a slope and extending into a firm, non‐yielding base. Many uses of ... -
Consolidation After Undrained Piezocone Penetration. I: Prediction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Piezocone measurements during steady cone penetration provide valuable soil‐profiling and soil‐identification data. The potential of the piezocone as a soil‐exploration tool can be significantly enahnced if the pore‐pressure ...
