Discussion: Seismic Bearing Capacity of Foundation on Cohesionless Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Finite Element Modeling of Settlements on Spatially Random Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The effect of a random and spatially correlated soil stiffness on the total settlement under the center of a uniformly loaded flexible-strip footing has been studied. Random field theory has been combined with the ... -
Discussion: Solute Breakthrough Curves for Processed Kaolin at Low Flow Rates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Ground Response of Circular Tunnel in Poorly Consolidated Rock
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)To study the surface-closure curve of a circular tunnel in poorly consolidated rocks, closed-form solutions for stresses and displacement near a circular opening subjected to a uniformly distributed external stress and ... -
Closure to “Bearing Capacity of Footings over Two-Layer Foundation Soils” by Radoslaw L. Michalowski and Lei Shi
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Influence of Foundation Nonlinearity on Offshore Towers Response
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The response of a fixed, offshore tower is greatly affected by the nonlinear behavior of the supporting piles. An analysis of the foundation piles response to transient dynamic loading that accounts for soil nonlinearity, ... -
Closure to “Predicted and Observed Cyclic Performance of Piles in Calcareous Sand” by Riadh H. Al-Douri and Harry G. Poulos
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -

Field Investigation of Potential Contamination by Bitumen-Coated Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Coating piles with bitumen down to their neutral points to debond them from embedding soil is a feasible method to minimize the adverse effects of negative skin friction. Bitumen is a petroleum product composed of numerous ... -
Nonlinear Soil Response— 1994 Northridge, California, Earthquake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Peak ground accelerations recorded during the Northridge, California, earthquake of January 17, 1994 are described in relation to the observed, nonlinear soil response. Four attenuation relationships were developed ... -
Analysis of Deep Excavation with Column Type of Ground Improvement in Soft Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)To minimize the ground settlement induced by the excavation, the column type of ground improvement has been used in many parts of the world, possibly due to the fact that this type of soil improvement is relatively easily ... -
Geosynthetic Tubes for Confining Pressurized Slurry: Some Design Aspects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)This paper deals with geosynthetic tubes that are made of several geosynthetic sheets sewn together to form a shell capable of confining pressurized slurry. The slurry is sufficiently fluid so that it is possible to ... -
Remote Sensing in Investigation of Engineered Underground Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Lineaments, linear features visible on remotely sensed imagery, can be used to predict ground control problems in underground structures. Lineaments were used to backpredict hazardous ground conditions in an underground ... -
Elastic Properties of Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A triaxial apparatus to measure small strains in the range between 10 -
Inference of Dynamic Shear Modulus from Lotung Downhole Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Downhole ground motions recorded at the Lotung Large-Scale Seismic Test (LSST) site were used in this paper to infer in-situ dynamic soil properties. The purposes were (1) to provide field evidence of nonlinear soil behavior ... -
EDTA-Enhanced Electrokinetic Extraction of Lead
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Electrokinetic extraction has been demonstrated to be effective in removing lead from pure Georgia kaolinite characterized by a low acid/base buffer capacity and cation exchange capacity. The relatively high removal ... -
Optimization and Sensitivity of Retaining Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)This paper is concerned with optimum design and sensitivity of retaining structures. The optimum design formulation in terms of a constrained nonlinear programming problem, is given for reinforced concrete-cantilever ... -
Photoelastic Determination of Contact Stresses of Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The contact stress distribution underneath foundations under operating loads is important for a realistic estimation of settlements. Theoretical and numerical models are difficult to apply due to the nonlinear properties ... -
