Measured Behavior of Braced Wall in Very Soft Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)During 1977–1978 a series of 25 ft wide (8 m) by 30 ft deep (9 m) sewer culverts were built in the Islais Creek Basin near San Francisco Bay. The sheetpile wall supported excavations for the culverts were made through ... -
Discussion to “<i>Stress Analysis of Dummy Rod Method for Sand Specimens</i>” by Han‐Chin Wu and G. S. Chang (September, 1982)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Permeability‐Anisotropy Due to Particle Shape
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Three facts can lead to permeability‐anisotropy in sedimentary soils: (1) Macro‐stratification; (2) micro‐stratification; and (3) flatness plus orientation of particles. The effect of flatness and orientation of particles ... -

Lateral Response of Fixed‐Head Pile
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Results, of elastic analysis of laterally loaded fixed-head piles embedded in a two-layer soil system, are presented for a wide range of cases of practical interest for piles having length to diameter ratio (L/d) of 25 and ... -

Piles as Barriers for Elastic Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A theoretical study is presented on the usefulness of a row of rigid piles as an isolating barrier for elastic waves. The problem is formulated as one of multiple scattering and diffraction. A set of cylindrical coordinate ... -
Design of Rigid Shafts in Clay for Lateral Load
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Using the results of eight field load tests reported in the literature, the ultimate lateral load for rigid shafts in clay is defined as the load corre sponding to a shaft rotation of 2 degrees. This definition is used to ... -
Pile Settlement in Liquefying Sand Deposit
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Model studies have shown that end‐bearing pile settlement in a saturated sand deposit is very sensitive to excess pore pressures induced by earthquake shaking. Settlement amounting to pile failure will be reached before ... -
Design Charts for Rock Slopes Susceptible to Toppling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)In stability analysis of slopes susceptible to toppling, the forces generated by the overturning columns in rock slopes are calculated as a function of slope height and column thickness -
Lateral Dynamic Response of Constrained‐Head Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)This paper utilizes an efficient finite‐element formulation to study the dynamic response characteristics of single constrained‐head piles embed ded in a soil stratum whose modulus is proportional to depth from the surface. ... -
Porewater Pressures Due to Overburden Removal
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A mathematical model describing the behavior of a fully saturated sediment subjected to a uniformly eroding load is developed on the basis of Terzaghi's classical consolidation theory. The model is used to analyze simultaneous ... -
Anchored Sheet Pile Bulkheads: Design Practice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The state of the art of sheet pile bulkheads design and investigation is reviewed. Using some examples of relatively recent large scale model tests and full scale investigations it is shown that the Coulomb Theory of earth ... -
Large Diameter Double Underreamed Drilled Shafts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A double underreamed drilled shaft with 5 ft (1.5 m) diameter bells and 2.5 ft (0.8 m) diameter shaft was instrumented and load tested. Results of the load test indicate that the underreams act independently at very small ... -
Stability Analysis of Flexible Anchored Bulkheads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)This paper presents an analysis of the depth of penetration of sheet piles necessary to provide stability against overturning. Previously developed equations of eqiulibrium are used. Results are given for a two-parameter ... -
Equivalent Stationary Motion for Liquefaction Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)An equivalent stationary motion model is evaluated for a liquefaction study. This ground motion model transforms a true, nonstationary motion into a segment of a ficticious Gaussian stationary random process. In the ... -
Piezometer Installation under Artesian Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)This report describes a new technique to install piezometers under flowing artesian conditions. A unique procedure and special equipment were developed and fabricated in the field to facilitate the piezometer installation ... -
Critical Reappraisal of Plasticity Index of Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A fundamental approach, based on Gouy-Chapman theory of double layer, has been provided to micromechanistically interpret the plasticity index of soils and their relationship with liquid limit. The relationships between ...
