Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Soil Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)To investigate the flexural behavior of reinforced soil beams, tests were performed on rectangular and trapezoidal soil beams of varying span to depth ratios and varying amounts of reinforcements. Local silty clay was used ... -
Stability of Membrane Reinforced Slopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)An analytical approach to membrane reinforced earth is presented. It is based on limit‐equilibrium and variational extremization. The results indicate that the potential failure surfaces are either planar or log‐spiral. ... -
Settlement Analysis of Skirted Granular Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A method of computing settlement of foundations on weak subsoil deposits reinforced with granular piles is developed. Full‐scale in situ tests on skirted granular piles are carried out at four different sites consisting ... -

Discussion of “<i>Time Dependence of Lateral Earth Pressure</i>” by Edward Kavazanjian, Jr., and James K. Mitchell (April, 1984)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985) -
On the Determination of Foundation Model Parameters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Various methods for the determination of the foundation model parameters are reviewed. It is then shown that one of the four known methods is conceptually of questionable validity because according to it the model parameters ... -
Soil Tunnel Test Section: Case History Summary
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The strong influence of construction procedures was demonstrated by comprehensive field measurements of initial fining behavior and of ground movements for a soil tunnel. Plowing movements for the first tunnel shield created ... -
Thermo‐Mechanical Behavior of Seafloor Sediments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A laboratory investigation of the thermo‐mechanical response of deep ocean sediments has been performed. The study encompasses the range of thermal loadings expected for the emplacement of a canister of radioactive waste ... -
Rammed Earth House Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)An elementary analysis for calculation of stresses in a rammed earth house is presented. The analysis permits calculation of safe wall height, and an examination of safety of these structures. It is observed that the usual ... -
Discussion of “<i>Evaluation of Liquefaction Potential Using Field Performance Data</i>” by H. Bolton Seed, I. M. Idriss, and Ignacio Arango, (March, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985) -
Trench Effects on Blast‐Induced Pipeline Stresses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)An experimental program was conducted to obtain data from model tests to evaluate the effects of open trenches on blast‐induced circumferential and longitudinal stresses on an underground pipeline. A model pipe was ... -
New Method for Evaluating Liquefaction Potential
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A new method of indexing the grain and aggregate properties of sand using electrical parameters is described. Correlations are established between these parameters and relative density, -
Confining Pressure, Grain Angularity, and Liquefaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Substantial decrease in resistance to liquefaction is shown to occur with increase in confining pressure for a rounded and an angular sand having identical gradation. For a given increase in confining pressure, angular ... -

Crushing of Soil Particles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)In order to understand the physics of the strength and stress‐strain behavior of soils and to devise mathematical models that adequately represent such behavior, it is important to define the degree to which the particles ... -
Slope Reliability and Response Surface Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A method to analyze reliability of soil slopes using the response surface method is described. The soil slope is modelled and analyzed by a finite element code as in prevalent deterministic studies. The simulation which ...
