Centrifugal Modeling of Soil Liquefaction Susceptibility
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Presented are the results of an experimental research program involving centrifugal model tests on a column of sand confined by a stack of teflon coated aluminum rings with a latex membrane between the sand and the rings. ... -
Discussion to “<i>Total Lateral Surcharge Pressure Due to Strip Load</i>” by Ramon Jarquio (October, 1981)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Estimating Failure Probabilities for California Levees
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The probability of failure of California Delta levees was estimated using simple statistical procedures, based heavily on empirical data. Forty‐four islands were included in the study, and it was found that the probability ... -
Prediction of Vertical Earth Loads on Rigid Pipes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Standards are available to estimate the vertical earth loads induced on pier or pile‐supported rigid pipes subjected to cohesionless settling backfill. There is no apparent direct field evidence to support existing design ... -
Dynamic Group Effect in Axial Responses of Grouped Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Analytical expressions for soil stiffness for a group of piles were obtained for both plane strain and three‐dimensional conditions. A comparison between these two expressions revealed that a concept of a Winkler soil model ... -
Experimental Study of Earth Loads on Rigid Pipes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Standards are available to estimate the vertical earth loads induced on pier or pile‐supported rigid pipes subjected to settling backfill. There is no apparent direct field evidence to support existing design procedures. ... -
Failure of an Earth Dam: A Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)In the semi‐arid zones, seasonal variations in temperature and moisture content are extensive. This may induce severe cracking of the core of an earth dam, particularly in places where the soil is poorly compacted. The ... -
Investigation of Flow Failures of Tailings Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A characteristic common to most mine tailings dam failures is that the tailings tend to liquefy and flow over substantial distances, with potential for extensive damage to property and life. The existence of these potentially ... -
Closure to “<i>Shallow Land Burial of Low‐Level Radioactive Waste</i>” by David E. Daniel (January, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Measured Soil Response to EPB Shield Tunneling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The first earth pressure balance (EPB) shield project in the United States, a 3,000 ft (915 m) long, 12.1 ft (3.7 m) diameter, tunnel is described. It is located in San Francisco and passes beneath a heavily trafficked ... -
Analyses of Flow Failures of Mine Tailings Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A characteristic common to most tailings dam failures is that the mine tailings tend to liquefy and flow over substantial distances, with potential for extensive damage to property and life. In order to be able to assess ... -
Closure to “<i>Filter Criteria for Geotextiles: Relevance and Use</i>” by Chris R. Lawson (October, 1982)
