Ko‐Coefficient of Sand in Triaxial Apparatus
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Two series of K -
Statistical Estimation of Relative Density
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A new procedure is proposed to evaluate in situ relative density using SPT values, and to quantify the uncertainty associated with that prediction. The relationship is first developed under laboratory conditions, then ... -
Design of Anchored Bulkheads in Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)This investigation concerns the use of conventional free earth support method as applied to anchored bulkheads in sands and to the development of a simplified pressure diagram for the purposes of design. The development ... -
Hybrid FE Procedure for Soil‐Structure Interaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A stress hybrid finite element procedure is developed for nonlinear, elastic and elastic‐plastic, analysis of soil‐structure interaction including simulation of construction sequences. The procedure is compared with a ... -
Failure of Pore‐Water Analyses for Dispersion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)The method of Sherard, et al., where soil saturation extract cation data are plotted on a percent sodium versus TDS (total dissolved solids in milliequivalents per liter) graph to classify clayey soils as dispersive or ... -
Closure to “<i>Specimen Size Effect in Simple Shear Test</i>” by M. Vucetic and S. Lacasse (December, 1982)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Dynamics of Anisotropic Clays Under Large Strains
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)The dynamic behavior of cross anisotropic clays was often studied in a resonant column device which is limited to strains smaller then -
Thermal Resistivity of Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Information on the thermal properties of soils from different disciplines of science and engineering is consolidated to identify low‐cost, simple procedures for assessing the variation of the thermal resistivity of soils ... -
Centrifuge Simulations of Stable Tailings Dam
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)The development of the phreatic surface in a stable tailings dam is investigated by using centrifuge simulation techniques and analytical techniques. The centrifuge simulations, conducted on an 8 m radius machine, use a ... -
Large Strain and Dilatancy Effects in Pressuremeter
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Herein is developed a fundamental solution to the problem of the expansion of a cylindrical cavity in a dilatant soil which exhibits effects of large strains. A result of some importance to geomechanics concerns the ... -
Membrane Penetration Effects in Triaxial Testing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Membrane penetration effects in drained and undrained tests are discussed. A qualitative analysis is performed to find which factors influence the membrane penetration and, at least approximately, to what extent. It is ... -

Laterally Loaded Piles for a Vehicular Underpass
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A case history of the widening of movement joints between two box‐units of a vehicular underpass is presented. The underpass is founded on prestressed concrete piles. During the construction of the embankment fills on both ... -
Tunneling Under Building with Thin Rock Cover
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Construction of an inclined escalator shaft entrance to the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority's (MARTA) Peachtree Center Station required tunneling under a 15‐story building over 60 yr old. Because of the age ... -
Stress Ratio Effects on Shear Modulus of Dry Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Resonant column tests involving anisotropic confining conditions were conducted to evaluate static stress condition, especially stress ratio effects on the low‐amplitude dynamic shear modulus,
