Discussion of “<i>SI Units for Geotechnical Engineering</i>” by the Committee on Definitions and Standards of the Geotechnical Engineering Division (December, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985) -
Plasticity and Constitutive Relations in Soil Mechanics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)After early attempts to describe the behavior of beams under load, equations of equilibrium were first formulated correctly in 1827. Isotropic elastic behavior was described shortly after. Plasticity studies were initiated ... -
Latent Heat of Frozen Saline Coarse‐Grained Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)In recognition of the need to predict the thermal regime in arctic offshore structures, a laboratory research program was constructed to evaluate the latent heat of fusion of a coarse‐grained soil with saline pore water. ... -
Streambank Stability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Erosion of alluvial soils along the Ohio River is a matter of increasing concern to riparian landowners and commercial interests. One mechanism by which erosion of alluvial streambanks takes place is by sliding wedge ... -
Discussion of “<i>State of the Art: Soft‐Ground Tunneling</i>” by Ralph B. Peck (May 1984)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985) -
Load Tests on Tubular Piles in Coralline Strata
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)At a coral reef site on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia, load tests were performed on 1,422 mm diam tubular steel piles to verify pile design compression and tension capacities predicted by calculations. Although two ... -
Dimensioning Footings Subjected to Eccentric Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)An approach often used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations subjected to eccentric loading is based on Meyerhof's concept of a reduced effective area. The effective area is the area of greatest length ... -
Closure to “<i>Conventional and Probabilistic Embankment Design</i>” by Verne McGuffey, Dimitri Grivas, John Iori, and Zenon Kyfor (October, 1982)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985) -

1‐D Pollutant Migration in Soils of Finite Depth
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A technique for the analysis of 1‐D pollutant migration through a clay layer of finite depth is presented. This formulation includes dispersive and advective transport in the clay as well as geochemical reactions and permits ... -
Punch‐Through Instability of Jack‐Up on Seabed
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A punch-through failure of a jack-up platform can occur as a result of an overall instability of the structure on the seabed even when the seabed has bearing capacity increasing with depth. The instability is analogous to ... -
Hydraulic Conductivity Tests on Compacted Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Permeability tests were performed in the laboratory on compacted clay to study the effects of type of permeameter, hydraulic anisotropy, diameter of test specimens, storage time, and desiccation cracking. Essentially ... -
Finite Element Analyses of Lock and Dam 26 Cofferdam
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Replacement of the old Lock and Dam 26 on the Mississippi River involves construction of one of the largest systems of cellular cofferdams ever built. Preliminary analyses using conventional theories led to sometimes ... -
Evaluation of Design Methods for Vertical Anchor Plates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Design methods for vertical anchors subjected to horizontal pullout forces are reviewed. Theoretical predictions are compared with results from conventional tests on 2 in. (50 mm) models and centrifugal tests representing ... -
Closure to “<i>Failure of an Anchored Bulkhead</i>” by David E. Daniel and Roy E. Olson (October, 1982)

Settlement Analysis of Embankments on Soft Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Highly realistic analysis of the consolidation of soft clays is possible within the framework of the traditional concepts of soil mechanics. A practical method is described for predicting the magnitude and rate of settlement ... -
Interference Between Geotechnical Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The relative safety of neighboring geotechnical structures depends on the degree of dependence between them. This dependence is considered to exist if there is overlapping of their potential failure surfaces. A simple ...
