Coefficients of Soil Reaction for Buried Flexible Conduits
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A study is conducted to examine the parameters governing the coefficient of soil reaction -
Lateral Bulging of Earth Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Many earth dams exhibit lateral deformation during construction; the extent is dependent upon the stress‐strain characteristics of the embankment material. Earth dams constructed exclusively of impervious fill have the ... -
Steady Flow Calculations for Cutoff Wall Depth Variation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Steady‐state flow through an earth dam with an impervious core and a cutoff extended various depths into an alluvial foundation was examined for dependance on the permeability ratio of the foundation and depth of the cutoff. ... -
Strength of Weathered Melbourne Mudstone
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)The mudstone underlying the Melbourne area forms the principal bearing stratum of the region. Because of its wide range of weathering characteristics, the mudstone is transitional between soils and more competent hard ... -
Post‐Construction Deformation of Rockfill Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A study of the post‐construction crest settlements and deflections of 68 rockfill dams has been made in order to assess the usefulness and accuracy of the prediction of such deformations using empirical equations. Graphs ... -
Closure to “<i>Number of Tests versus Design Pile Capacity</i>” by Leslie G. Jaeger and Baidar Bakht (June, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Closure to “<i>Erosion in Relation to Filter Design Criteria in Earth Dams</i>” by K. Arulanandan and Edward B. Perry (May, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Discussion of “<i>Failure of an Earth Dam: A Case Study</i>” by Iqbal H. Khan (February, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Discussion of “<i>Three‐Dimensional Testing and Modeling of Ballast</i>” by R. Janardhanam and C. S. Desai (June, 1983)

Discussion of “<i>Erosion in Relation to Filter Design Criteria in Earth Dams</i>” by K. Arulanandan and Edward B. Perry (May, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Dynamic Experiments with Group of Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Dynamic experiments with a large group of closely spaced, small piles were conducted in the field in order to verify the different theories available and to examine the applicability of some simplified approaches such as ... -
Ground Response to Dynamic Compaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Field measurements from over 120 sites have been collected to study current practice and determine if similarities exist in the response of the ground to site improvement by dynamic compaction. Data were obtained from ... -
Seasonal Temperature Effects on a Foundation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)During the construction of a large chimney at the Porto Tolle power station, a settlement‐monitoring program disclosed unusual yet periodic deflections in the performance of the pile‐supported concrete foundation, in ... -
Basic Properties of Sand and Gravel Filters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Laboratory experiments have shown that uniform filters will catch particles with diameter of about -
Evaluation of Dynamic Experiments on Pile Group
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Dynamic experiments with a large group of small closely spaced piles were conducted in the field. The results of the experiments are compared with theoretical predictions made for vertical and horizontal response on the ... -
Filters for Silts and Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)An investigation was made of the filters needed in dams for fine‐grained clays and silts. The “critical” downstream filter in a central core dam should be capable of controlling and sealing a concentrated leak through the ... -
Prediction of Consolidation of Very Soft Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)An alternative method of calculating one‐dimensional primary consolidation of fine‐grained material is presented. The procedure is based on solution charts developed from a finite difference computer solution of the ... -
