Seismically Induced Movement of Retaining Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)In recent years, new seismic design methods for gravity retaining walls, based on the earthquake‐induced permanent displacement of the wall, have been proposed. These methods generally ignore the effects of ground motion ... -
Stress and Seepage Analysis of Earth Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A finite element procedure is developed for stress, seepage and stability analysis of dams and earthbanks. The seepage analysis is based on a residual flow scheme involving saturated and unsaturated zones in which the ... -
Reinforced Soil Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A series of reinforced soil beams with varying reinforcements were tested to study the improvement in the flexural characteristics of soil beams. A small percentage of reinforcement in the form of metallic strips is observed ... -
Stresses Due to Wave‐Induced Bottom Pressures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Some characteristics of wave-seabed interaction are described, and stresses and displacements from an elastic, static analysis for a sinusoidal stress wave acting on a homogeneous half space are compared with results from ... -
Radial versus Parallel Tie Arrays in Earth Backfills
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Ties or reinforcements are normally connected to the backside of a retaining wall and extend horizontally into the backfill. This horizontal, parallel array was compared with a radial tie array in which ties radiated in ... -
Tertiary Creep Model for Frozen Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)An empirical model to describe the unconfined compressive creep behavior of frozen sands is developed. When combined with the proposed method for parameter evaluation, this model accounts for the effect of applied axial ... -
Stiffness Constants of Single Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Stiffness constants and constants of equivalent viscous damping are presented for single, vertical piles in the form of tables and charts. The soil shear modulus is either constant or varies with depth according to a ... -
Uncertainty in Bearing Capacity of Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Bearing capacity predictions for surface footings on sand based on modifications of Terzaghi's superposition method are partly empirical and partly theoretical. Based on currently available data for surface footings on ... -
Plastic Limit Behavior of Reinforced Earth
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Plastic behavior of soil that is uniformly reinforced by fibers is studied. This analysis considers reinforced earth as macroscopically anisotropic and homogeneous, and it describes its gross behavior based on a knowledge ... -

Drained Axisymmetric Loading of Reinforced Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)To investigate the behavior of reinforced clay, drained triaxial compression tests were performed on kaolin clay reinforced with horizontal discs of sintered porous plastic. The results of two series of tests are presented—on ... -
