Design Strengths for an Offshore Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Stability analyses for stage construction of a breakwater located offshore New Jersey required a detailed evaluation of the undrained stress‐strain‐strength properties of a plastic marine clay. One set of analyses, ... -
Dynamic Determination of Pile Capacity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A method is presented for determining the axial static pile capacity from dynamic measurements of force and acceleration made under the impact of a large hammer. The basic equation for calculation of the forces resisting ... -
Stress Anisotropy Effects on Clay Strength
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)For ease and economy, most commercial laboratories perform consolidated undrained triaxial shear tests using an initial isotropic state of stress. The insitu state of stress for most clay soils, however, is anisotropic. ... -
Liquefaction Potential of Sands Using the CPT
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Existing methods for the evaluation of liquefaction potential using data obtained from the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) are reviewed. A modified CPT‐based method for the liquefaction assessment of sand is presented. Information ... -
Active Earth Pressure Behind Retaining Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A simple and realistic analytical procedure is described to estimate the eveloped lateral earth pressure behind the rigid retaining wall with cohesionless backfill soil experiencing outward tilt about the base. Included ... -
Dynamic Centrifugal Modeling of a Horizontal Dry Sand Layer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The dynamic response of a 10.7 m (35 ft) thick dry sand layer was modeled on the Cambridge University centrifuge at scale factors of 35 and 80. A stack of teflon‐coated aluminum rings and a latex membrane confined a ... -

Closure to “<i>Embankment Failure on Clay near Rio de Janeiro</i>” by J. A. Ramalho‐Ortigão, M. L. G. Werneck and W. A. Lacerda (November, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985) -
Loading Rate Method for Pile Response in Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A method is proposed to predict the behavior of single piles in cohesive soil subjected to vertical loads applied at various rates. The elementary simple shear model is made rate‐dependent by introducing the time raised ... -
Soil Security Test for Water Retaining Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A simple test applicable to the evaluation of soils for water‐retaining soil structures is described. It combines into one test an appraisal for dispersivity, cracking, softening or slaking in the presence of water, measuring ... -

The Arch in Soil Arching
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Soil arching action or “bin effect” is usually quantified by use of a horizontal differential element whose support derives in part from Rankine theory. In the 1940's, Krynine mathematically proved this incorrect. The ... -
Determination of Critical Slope Failure Surfaces
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The analysis of the stability of slopes using limit equilibrium methods usually requires the determination of the critical failure surface having the minimal factor of safety. This paper presents an optimization technique, ... -
Transmitting Boundaries and Seismic Response
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A parametric study of the seismic response of a chosen site was conducted to demonstrate the obvious inconsistencies in computed ground response as a result of different assumptions made on the transmitting boundary for ... -
Discussion of “<i>Post‐Construction Deformation of Rockfill Dams</i>” by Ronald P. Clements (July, 1984)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985) -
Third‐Invariant Model for Rate‐Dependent Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A theory of viscoplasticity for frictional materials is developed in which first and third invariants of stress and strain are used instead of the more conventional second invariants. Rate effects are incorporated directly ... -
