Dynamic Soil and Water Pressures of Submerged Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Current theories and procedures in evaluating dynamic lateral earth and water pressures due to submerged backfill soils against rigid retaining structures are throughly reviewed. Available experimental data is gathered and ... -
Liquefaction Potential Mapping for San Francisco
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The potential of saturated deposits of cohesionless soil in downtown San Francisco to experience initial liquefaction due to seismically induced pore pressure is evaluated. Initial liquefaction, or the zero effective stress ... -
Geotechnical Characteristics of Residual Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Residual soils are products of chemical weathering and thus their characteristics are dependent upon environmental factors of climate, parent material, topography and drainage, and age. These conditions are optimized in ... -
Clay Liner Permeability: Evaluation and Variation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The primary criterion used in evaluating the suitability of hazardous waste landfills for containing hazardous wastes is permeability, and many regulatory agencies have adopted regulations requiring clay‐lined hazardous ... -
Closure to “<i>Reinforced Embankments: Analysis and Design</i>” by R. Kerry Rowe (February, 1984)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985) -
Rate of Shear Effects on Vane Shear Strength
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A series of laboratory vane shear tests was performed on sedimented samples of kaolinite and slaked Pierre shale to determine the effects of shear rate and vane dimensions on measured strength. Results of the tests were ... -
Temperature Effects on Volume Measurements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Volume measuring systems for triaxial tests are susceptible to changes in ambient temperature, and the volume change due to temperature can represent 10% or more of the measured value, depending on the magnitude of the ... -
Discussion of “<i>Tertiary Creep Model for Frozen Sands</i>” by John M. Ting (July, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Effects of Predrilling and Layered Soils on Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A state‐of‐the‐art nonlinear finite element algorithm for pile‐soil interaction has been developed and implemented in a modular computer program to study the effects of predrilled oversize holes and layered soils on the ... -

(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Discussion of “<i>Modulus of Subgrade Reaction: New Perspective</i>” by John S. Horvath (December, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985) -
Inverted Shear Modulus from Wave‐induced Soil Motion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A previously developed technique, used mainly in seismology and geophysics, has been adopted to determine the shear modulus from soil displacements measured during wave tank experiments. This iterative inversion technique ... -
Cyclic Behavior of Pavement Base Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The influence of stress path on the stress‐strain behavior of a Florida sand subject to repetitive moving wheel loads is investigated in the laboratory with conventional traixial equipment. A conventional resilient modulus ... -

Estimating Soil Moduli from Drilled Pier Load Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Modulus of deformation, -
Discussion of “<i>Critical Reappraisal of Plasticity Index of Soils</i>” by T. S. Nagaraj and M. S. Jayadeva (July, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Closure to “<i>Uncertainly in Bearing Capacity of Sands</i>” by Thomas S. Ingra and Gregory B. Baecher (July, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Liquefaction and Fabric of Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)It is shown for simple shearing that the liquefaction and densification potentials of a cohesionless sample of sand do not necessarily decrease because of preliquefaction or because of large amplitude (drained) prestraining. ... -
