Probabilistic Analysis Of Offshore Site Exploration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The uncertainties associated with the predicted bearing capacity of an offshore gravity platform arise from incomplete knowledge about the type of material that is encountered at different points along the slip surface and ... -
Closure to “<i>Steady Flow Calculations for Cutoff Wall Depth Variation</i>” by E. C. Kalkani and A. J. Michali (July, 1984)

Quiescent Consolidation of Phosphatic Waste Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)A number of currently employed mathematical formulations used in modeling one‐dimensional quiescent consolidation of phosphatic waste clay ponds are reviewed. It is shown theoretically, as well as through an example, that ... -
Moduli and Damping Factors for Dynamic Analyses of Cohesionless Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Data are presented concerning the shear modulus and damping ratios of sands and gravelly soils as determined by laboratory and field tests. A simple relationship is proposed to relate the shear modulus of a cohesionless ... -

Low Strain Dynamic Properties of Artificially Cemented Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Torsional resonant column tests are conducted to study the effect of artificial cementation on low strain dynamic properties of Monterey No. 0 sand. Artificially cemented specimens are prepared using 1, 2, and 4% Portland ... -
Stresses from Loads over Rectangular Areas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The fundamental solution for the stresses induced in a semi-infinite isotropic homogeneous elastic medium by a concentrated point load applied normally to its plane surface is extended to an optimally designed rectangular ... -

Discussion of “<i>Increase in SPT <i>N</i>‐Values Due to Displacement Piles</i>” by M. S. Nataraja and B. E. Cook (January, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986) -
Undrained Monotonic and Cyclic Triaxial Strength of Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The undrained behavior of saturated sand in monotonically loaded triaxial tests is discussed using steady state concepts. The relations among various drained and undrained strength envelopes are first examined. These ... -

Unsteady State Phreatic Surface in Earth Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)A simple method is developed for determining the unsteady state phreatic surface in earth dams as a function of time. The method is useful for the stability analysis of temporary dams where the steady state seepage condition ... -
Hydraulic Fracturing in Embankment Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)There is now sufficient evidence to conclude that concentrated leaks occur commonly through the impervious sections of embankment dams by hydraulic fracturing without being observed, even in dams which are not subjected ... -
Uplift Capacity of Bored Piles in Calcareous Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The uplift capacity of bored piles in dense calcareous soils was examined by field tests at three sites in Kuwait. The nine test piles were 0.5 m in diameter and extended to a maximum depth of 15 m below the ground surface. ... -
FE Analyses: Compaction‐Induced Stresses and Deformations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Analytical models and a finite element analysis methodology are presented for evaluation of compaction‐induced soil stresses and resulting soilstructure interaction effects. These analytical methods model the incremental ... -
Earthquake Induced Displacements of Sliding Blocks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)A method is presented for evaluating the earthquake‐induced permanent displacements for sliding blocks. Given the distributions of the limiting accelerations and the ground motion parameters, this method will give the ... -
Self‐Boring Pressuremeter Tests In Soft Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The basic objective of a self‐boring pressuremeter (SBPM) test is to insert a cylindrical probe into the ground with a minimum of disturbance and expand the membrane covering the probe so as to load the soil to failure. ...
