Porous Medium Deformation in Multiphase Flow
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Terzaghi's intergranular stress, or effective stress, can be formulated through application of averaging theory to the primitive momentum balance equations. Careful examination of the resulting development reveals the ... -
Potential Expansive Soils in Arabian Peninsula
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Engineering designers involved with projects with the Arabian Peninsula may encounter potentially expansive soils. This paper develops a hazard map as a preliminary guide to potential expansive soils. The hazard map is ... -
Reinforced Clay Subject to Undrained Triaxial Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Research into reinforced clay using triaxial testing of reinforced and unreinforced samples of saturated remolded clay shows that continuous impermeable reinforcement can cause a reduction in strength under rapid loading. ... -
Closure to “<i>Universal Compression Index Equation</i>” by Oswald Rendon‐Herrero (November, 1980)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Young's Modulus of Subcoal Strata by Ultrasonic Testing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The results of an investigation on the dynamic property of a subcoal material using ultrasonic wave velocities are reported. It is demonstrated that it is possible to generate and detect the ultrasonic compressional and ... -
Obtaining Moduli from Cyclic Pressuremeter Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Conventionally, a first loading modulus and a limit pressure are obtained from a pressuremeter test curve. This article shows how much information on the soil modulus can be obtained from a pressuremeter test. Soil moduli ... -
Design Capacity of Slurried Mineral Waste Ponds
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)This paper summarizes existing consolidation data for various slurried mineral wastes; specifically, compressibility and permeability. It describes the state‐of‐the‐art in field and laboratory tests for measuring the ... -
Erosion in Relation to Filter Design Criteria in Earth Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The current design practice for filters in earth and rock fill dams is an outgrowth of a well known concept proposed by Terzaghi. The main effect of amplifications that investigators have added to the Terzaghi criteria is ... -
Stability of Axisymmetric Excavations in Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Axisymmetric (shaft) excavations are quite common in the construction industry (e.g., inspection or access chambers and excavations for bored piles or piers). The stability of an axisymmetric excavation in clay with uniform ... -
Correlation between G0 and τmax for Kaolinite Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The low-amplitude shear modulus, G -
Loaded Areas on Cohesive Slopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Design charts for performing total stress stability analyses of cohesive slopes subjected to strip loads and square loaded areas are developed. The charts for strip-load provide solutions for different load widths and thus ... -
Corrected Field Vane Strength for Embankment Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A method for three-dimensional stability analysis has been developed and applied to 18 case histories of embankment failures. Results show that end effects generally increase the conventional plane strain factor of safety ... -
Transient Stresses Induced in Sandbed by Wave Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Waves propagating over a permeable seabed will alter the stresses and fluid pressures within the bed and affect the erodibility and stability of bottom sediments. This paper examines the cyclic stresses which occur within ... -
Discussion to “<i>Cellular Cofferdam for Trident Drydock: Performance</i>” by Max D. Sorota, Edward B. Kinner, and Mark X. Haley (December, 1981)

Wave‐Induced Pore Pressures in Submerged Sand Layer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Measured wave induced pore pressures in a model sand layer are presented. The measured pressures vary with the wave height and period, sand layer thickness, and sand density. For short‐period waves, measured pressures ...
