Determination of Prestress in Granular Soils Using AE
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)This project is aimed at the development of a technique, based on acoustic emission (AE) monitoring, to assess preconsolidation pressures (in all soils) in the field. Envisioned is a three part program: (1) Technical ... -
Closure to “<i>Excavations Stabilized Using Rock Revetments</i>” by Dennis J. Garbis (March, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Pore Pressure Buildup in Resonant Column Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Resonant column tests were performed on fully saturated and dry hollow cylindrical and fully saturated solid cylindrical specimens of Monterey No. 0 sand of 60% relative density subjected to 96 kPa confining pressure. The ... -

Compaction Criteria for Eastern Coal Waste Embankments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)The paper presents the results of a full‐scale experiment wherein four embankments were constructed to evaluate compaction equipment per formance, optimum lift thickness, and number of passes required for specified degree ... -
Predicting Hydraulic Conductivity of Clay Liners
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Data are presented from four projects in which rates of leakage from ponds lined with clay significantly exceeded the rates that would have been predicted on the basis of laboratory permeability tests. The actual hydraulic ... -

Past Consolidation Stress Estimates in Cretaceous Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)It is shown in this paper that in a highly overconsolidated undis turbed clay, due to natural unloading, most of the strain was recovered in the vertical direction, but not in the horizontal direction. Consolidation tests ... -
RQD Models and Fracture Spacing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Various statistical models are proposed for estimating the quality of rock masses. These models are then employed to relate RQD with the av erage number of discontinuity or average intact lengths. It is observed that the ... -
Reinforced Embankments: Analysis and Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A numerical technique for the analysis of geotextile reinforced em bankments is outlined. This technique permits consideration of soil‐reinforcement interaction, slip at the soil‐fabric interface, plastic failure within ... -

Evaluating Calculated Risk in Geotechnical Engineering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Recent years have seen rapidly growing research into applied probability and increased interest in applications to geotechnical engineering practice. Unfortunately, probability still remains a mystery to many engineers, ... -
On Comparing Simple Shear and Triaxial Test Results
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)It is indisputable that nonuniformities of stresses and strains exist in soils tested not only in the simple shear apparatus (SSA) but in the triaxial apparatus as well. These nonuniformities alone cannot explain the ... -
Tests on Model Tension Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)The results of a laboratory investigation of the influences of dynamical driving methods and relative density on the behavior of piles in tension are presented. The study includes 31 bored piles, 12 driven piles, and 5 ... -
Statistical Evaluation of Cyclic Strength of Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A statistical model is proposed to estimate the cyclic shear strength of a saturated sand deposit. Large‐scale shaking table test results are used to develop the basic model since they reproduce the in situ test conditions ... -
Coupled Heat and Moisture Flow Through Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A method for numerically modeling the transient coupled heat and moisture flow in a multi‐dimensional soil domain subjected to time‐dependent heat and moisture generation is presented. The computer program, TRUCHAM, which ... -
Route Geotechnical Characterization and Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A unified, landform‐based probabilistic approach to geotechnical characterization and analysis is outlined for application to ground transportation routes. The approach can explicitly account for uncertainties, geotechnical ...
