Study of Two Field Cases Involving Undrained Creep
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)An analysis for investigating undrained creep of a viscoelastic‐plastic soil mass is briefly described. Any form of undrained creep response can be considered, while failure is incorporated through a Mohr‐Coulomb failure ... -
Chimney Drains to Control Seismic Pore Pressures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)To control the earthquake‐induced pore pressures in earth dams with pervious gravelly shells, a method is presented to design chimney drains to be installed in the upstream submerged part of the embankment. It has been ... -
Closure to “<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) -
Interface Model for Dynamic Soil‐Structure Interaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A simple thin‐layer element is developed and used in a finite element procedure for simulation of various modes of deformanon in dynamic soil‐structure interaction. The constitutive behavior of the interface is defined by ... -
Erratum “<i>New Subgrade Model Applied to Mat Foundations</i>” by John S. Horvath (December, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Simplified Approach for Axial Pile Group Response Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A simplified approach for the analysis of the static axial response of pile groups is presented. The approach is based on idealization of the soil around pile shafts as a “Winkler Model for Pile Group” and a transfer matrix ... -
Stability of Steel Oil Storage Tanks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Oil storage tanks built on weak and compressible foundations have suffered catastrophic failures due to foundation instability. These experiences are reviewed and used to establish simple procedures for evaluating factors ... -
New Procedure for Saturating Sand Specimens
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Saturation of sand specimens in laboratory investigations is necessary to provide reliable measurements of volume change and pore pressure. Conventional methods utilize back pressuring or back pressuring with supplemental ... -
Capillary Effects on Dynamic Modulus of Sands and Silts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Resonant column tests of five fine‐grained cohesionless soils showed the influence of capillary stresses on values of the low‐amplitude shear modulus, -
Horizontal Soil Strain Due to Seismic Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Seismic design of structures that are long in plan, such as bridges and buried pipelines, requires information on the spatial variation of ground displacements along their lengths. This variation in ground motion results ... -
Pullout Resistance of “H” Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Pullout capacities of driven H piles under axial tension loads were determined experimentally in stiff clays, dense sands, silts, and stratified soils. The test results are interpreted by 3 different procedures. Measured ... -
