Impedances of Soil Layer with Disturbed Boundary Zone
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The dynamic impedances of a vertically or torsionally excited viscoelastic soil layer with a thin disturbed zone around the edge of a central circular hole are evaluated and compared, over a range of parameters, with those ... -
Field Correlation of Cone and Standard Penetration Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)In recent years, attempts have been made to correlate standard penetration blow counts with cone penetration tip resistance readings in order to utilize the large data base and experience of standard penetration tests to ... -
Measured Lateral Response of Mass on Single Pile in Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The results of dynamic lateral load tests on a cantilevered mass supported by a single 10.75‐in. (273‐mm) diameter steel pipe pile embedded in stiff, overconsolidated clay are presented. These tests were conducted to provide ... -
Overburden Correction Factors for SPT in Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Several formulae and charts have been published for correcting the results of the standard penetration test (SPT) performed in sands for the effects of overburden pressure. However, depending on which published correction ... -
Discussion of “<i>Predicting Ground‐Water Response to Precipitation</i>” by Dwight A. Sangrey, Kingsley O. Harrop‐Williams, and Jeffrey A. Klaiber (July, 1984)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986) -
Shaft Behavior of a Model Pile in Plastic Empire Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)New challenges in offshore work have stimulated research in the analysis and design of friction piles. While different concepts have been presented over the last few years for analyzing the behavior of pile shafts, there ... -
Creep of Anisotropic Clay: Microplane Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Undrained constant‐volume creep of anisotropically consolidated specimens of clay is mathematically described by the microplane model, which is based on the assumption that the shear strain rates on the contact planes ... -

Determination of Shear Failure Envelope in Rock Masses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)In this work, an analytic expression has been developed that enables the shear strength to be determined using the empirical failure criterion developed by Hoek and Brown. Applying this new hypothesis, along with elasticity ... -
Computer Modeling of Large Rock Slides
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)A computer‐based analysis of the runout dynamics of the Madison Canyon rockslide of August 17, 1959, is reported. Three levels of computer representation of the flow are considered. First is a representation of the actual ... -
The Twentieth Terzaghi Lecture
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)In spite of our present very advanced analytical capabilities, our present ability to predict actual field behavior is, in many cases, woefully inadequate. Four cases are described to illustrate one of the reasons why ... -
Undrained Compression Behavior of Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)To support a theory proposed to explain the mechanism causing blast‐induced liquefaction, a series of high pressure undrained isotropic compression tests have been performed on Monterey No. 0 and Eniwetok sands. These tests ... -

Static Earth Pressures with Various Wall Movements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)In this paper the writers first present experimental results obtained for the distribution of the active stresses due to a sand backfill behind a rigid wall rotating about the top. The experimental evidence shows that the ... -
Vertical Vibration of Tapered Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)A new, simple and approximate method of analysis for tapered piles under vertical vibration is presented. The method of analysis accounts for soilpile interaction in a relatively simple manner. Since cross‐section and ... -
