Closure to “<i>Corrected Field Vane Strength for Embankment Design</i>” by Amr S. Azzouz, Mohsen M. Baligh, and Charles C. Ladd (May, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Multidimensional Probabilistic Consolidation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A numerical procedure is developed for a rational quantification of uncertainties in the probabilistic consolidation solution of soil mediums with spatial variability. The Alternating Direction Explicit Procedure (ADEP), ... -
Cyclic Triaxial Strength of Mine Tailings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)The cyclic strength of sand deposits is influenced by a number of factors including density, grain size, previous loading history, in situ stresses, age, particle shape and structure. In the case of uncompacted tailings ... -
Evaluation of Viscoplastic Cap Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A time‐dependent plasticity model for rocks and soils based on Perzyna's elastic/viscoplastic theory is presented, wherein the plasticity yield function is patterned after the inviscid cap model developed over the last ... -
Leachate Collection System Performance Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)The sensitivity of a waste disposal impoundment's leachate collection system performance to a range of design parameter values is investigated based on a computer modeling study. The piezometric head distribution in a ... -
Seismic Hydrodynamic Forces on Rock Slopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A finite element method of analysis for seismic response of fluid‐structure problems is presented. Displacement model finite elements are used in the fluid region, leading to simple fluid‐structure interface conditions. ... -
Field Performance of Embankment over Soft Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)The design, construction, and performance of an approach embankment constructed on soft soil is reviewed. Due to the poor subsoil conditions, the design included a combination of surcharge fills, stage construction, ... -
Discussion of “<i>Corrected Field Vane Strength for Embankment Design</i>” by Amr S. Azzouz, Mohsen M. Baligh, and Charles C. Ladd (May, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Integrity Testing of Bored Piles Using Sonic Logging
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A power plant is being founded on bored concrete piles which penetrate 30–40 m of compressible soil and are socketed into rock. An integrity testing program of these cast‐in‐place piles included shaft coring, compression ... -
Discussion of “<i>Conventional and Probabilistic Embankment Design</i>” by Verne McGuffey, Dimitri Grivas, John Iori, and Zenon Kyfor (October, 1982)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Appraisal Of Electro‐Osmotic Oedometer Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)While various engineering projects involving electro‐osmotic stabilization and consolidation of fine‐grained soils have been implemented with considerable success, attempts to estimate the progress of consolidation, even ... -
Discussion of “<i>Erosion in Relation to Filter Design Criteria in Earth Dams</i>” by K. Arulanandan and Edward B. Perry (May, 1983)

Discussion of “<i>Estimating Failure Probabilities for California Levees</i>” by James M. Duncan and William N. Houston (February, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Predicting Ground‐Water Response to Precipitation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)High ground‐water levels are a principal cause of slope instability and of significance in other geotechnical engineering problems. A methodology has been developed, and is described in this paper, for predicting the ... -
Stability of Ekofisk Tank: Reliability Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)The uncertainties encountered in the stability analysis for the foundation of the Ekofisk Tank are formulated in probabilistic terms and used to evaluate the reliability of the foundation design. The major sources of ... -

(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Sheet Pile Design Earth Pressure for Strip Load
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)In order to demonstrate the effect from a strip load on the design of sheet pile walls, the earth pressure on a rigid vertical wall rotating about a point near the top of the wall is calculated for cohesionless soil using ... -
Seismic Displacements in Slopes by Limit Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)TO avoid the complication in the calculation of progressive failure using the stress‐strain approach, and the inaccuracy of using the pseudo‐static analysis in seismic slope stability analysis, it is desirable to develop ... -
Foundation Performance of Offshore Jack‐Up Drilling Rigs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)An offshore fleet of about 435 mobile jack‐up rigs is currently drilling oil and gas wells around the world. About 2.6% of these jack‐up rigs annually experience an accident which is far greater than any other type of ...
