Probabilistic Study on Failure of Large Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The analysis of dam failures allows considerations about their safety and can influence new design and inspection criteria. Historical data about dam failures are used to relate failure rate to age or decade of construction. ... -
Geometric Concerns in Slope Stability Analyses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Geometric approximations necessary in the Simplified Bishop Method of Slices for slope stability analysis can lead to inadvertent errors. Depending on the method of computation of the slice area and base inclination angle, ... -
Discussion to “<i>Tolerable Settlement of Buildings</i>” by Harvey E. Wahls (November, 1981)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Embankment Failure on Clay near Rio de Janeiro
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The construction on an instrumented trial embankment on soft clay is described. Field measurements of pore‐pressure and vertical and horizontal displacements were carried out and the results are discussed. Foundation ... -
SPT‐CPT Correlations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A method for estimating equivalent Standard Penetration Test (SPT) -
Shallow Foundations on Frozen Soil: Creep Settlement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Current methods for estimating the long‐term settlement of shallow foundations on frozen soils are reviewed. It is found that, when the distortional creep is the main source of settlement, there are some potentially good ... -
Trench Excavation Effects on Adjacent Buried Pipes: Finite Element Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Ground movements generated by the excavation of trenches presents some risk of damage to buried services nearby. The effects of such excavation on adjacent buried pipes have been analyzed using a three‐dimensional finite ... -
Comparison of 2‐D and 3‐D Dynamic Analyses of Earth Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Considerable judgment is required to estimate the overall three‐dimensional dynamic response of a dam in a narrow canyon from plane strain analyses of individual sections of the dam. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper ... -
Discussion of “<i><i>H</i>‐Pile Heave: A Field Test</i>” by Demetrious C. Koutsoftas (August, 1982)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Overall Stability of Anchored Retaining Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Methods of checking the overall stability of anchored retaining walls are reviewed. Series of laboratory scale tests were carried out in which field construction of anchored rigid retaining walls was simulated. For each ... -
Settlement of Raft Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Recent multistory structures built in the City of Adelaide, South Australia, have frequently been founded on rafts. The authors have measured settlements on three such structures, and on two of the three sufficient exploration ... -

(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Discussion of “<i>Pulverized Coal Ash as Structural Fill</i>” by Gerald A. Leonards and Bruce Bailey (April, 1982)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Impact Stresses During Dynamic Compaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The development of an analytical model for describing ground behavior during dynamic compaction requires that the magnitude of impact stresses be known. Although several theoretical methods for calculating dynamic stresses ... -
Design Footing Area with Biaxial Bending
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A direct method of proportioning a rectangular footing area subjected to biaxial bending is proposed as an alternative to the trial and error method of solution. Formulas for the dimensions of the footing area are derived ... -
Erratum: “Universal Compression Index Equation” by Oswald Rendon‐Herrero (May, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Discussion of “<i>Pulverized Coal Ash as Structural Fill</i>” by Gerald A. Leonards and Bruce Bailey (April, 1982)
