Thermal Performance of Fine‐Grained Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Laboratory thermal probe tests performed on an AASHTO standard reference material (a silty clay) showed that the soil thermal behavior cor relates with the limit states of fine‐grained soils. Over 80 thermal resistivity ... -
Minimum Thickness of Compacted Soil Liners: II. Analysis and Case Histories
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The stochastic models described in a companion paper were used to analyze compacted soil liners with a variable number of 15 cm (6 in.) thick lifts. No optimum number of lifts could be defined based on first‐passage time; ... -
Geosynthetic Loads in Landfill Slopes: Displacement Compatibility
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Soil and geosynthetic components are used together in lining and cover systems for waste‐containment facilities to protect the environment by acting as a hydraulic barrier. Since the performance of the barrier depends on ... -
Minimum Thickness of Compacted Soil Liners: I. Stochastic Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Regulatory agencies often specify a minimum thickness of compacted soil liners that will ensure that the liner performs adequately. No consensus has been formed, however, on an appropriate minimum thickness. In some states ... -
Discussion of “<i>Earth Pressures Against Rigid Retaining Walls</i>” by Mehmet A. Sherif, Isao Ishibashi, and Chong Do Lee (May, 1982)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Saturated Clay Response During Braced Cut Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Strain fields that arose at various times during construction of a braced excavation through soft to medium‐stiff saturated clays in Chicago are presented. Pile driving induced largely horizontal compressive strains and ... -
Cementation Effects in Frictional Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Cementation effects are studied on the basis of three series of drained triaxial compression tests on compacted soil, soil‐cement, and mortar. The frictional materials have the same gradation curve and the same water ... -
Effects of Cyclic Lateral Loads on Piles in Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The effect of repetitive lateral loads on deflections of two drilled piers in Tampa Bay were significantly greater than predicted by a -
Undrained Behavior of Clay Under Cyclic Shear Stresses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The cyclic behavior of normally consolidated clays is investigated by conducting a series of cyclic simple shear tests on one‐dimensionally and isotropically consolidated kaolinite samples. The response of two types of ... -

Classification of Marine Sediments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Most of the marine sediments in the continental margin are derived from terrestrial sources, but vast areas of the sea floor are covered with sediments that are unique to the ocean environment. A knowledge of the origin ... -
Discussion of “<i>Construction Induced Movements of Insitu Walls</i>” by G. W. Clough and Thomas D. O'Rourke (June 18–21, 1990, No. 25)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992) -
Discussion of “<i>Free Vibration of Embedded Foundations: Theory versus Experiment</i>” by George Gazetas and Kenneth H. Stokoe II (September, 1991, Vol. 117, No. 9)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992) -
Pile Driving Records Reanalyzed Using Neural Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Pile driving formulas are commonly used to estimate the load capacity of driven piles. The formulas assume that there is a correlation between the pile set and the ultimate load capacity of the pile. The important factors ... -
Kinematic Seismic Response of Single Piles and Pile Groups
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Results of a numerical study are presented on the kinematic response of groups of vertical floating piles connected through rigid massless caps and subjected to vertically propagating harmonic
