Performance of Two Reservoirs during 1994 Northridge Earthquake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The 1994 Northridge Earthquake affected two geotechnical structures of the Van Norman Complex, the Los Angeles Reservoir (LAR) and the Power Plant Tailrace, in different ways. Both the Los Angeles Dam and North Dike of the ... -
Analysis of Cone Pressuremeter Tests in Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)This paper presents an interpretation method for determining sand properties from the cone tip resistance and the pressuremeter limit pressure measured with the cone pressuremeter. The method developed here can be used to ... -
Closure to “Dynamic Modeling and Response of Soil‐Wall Systems” by Anestis S. Veletsos and Adel H. Younan
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Performance of San Fernando Dams during 1994 Northridge Earthquake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The 1994 Northridge and 1971 San Fernando Earthquakes subjected the Lower and Upper San Fernando Dams of the Van Norman Complex in the San Fernando Valley, Calif., to strong near-source ground motions. In 1994, these earth ... -
Efficient Monte Carlo Technique for Locating Critical Slip Surface
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The search for the critical slip surface in slope-stability analysis is performed by means of a minimization of the safety factor. The procedures most widely used are deterministic methods of nonlinear programming, and ... -
Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity of Two Compacted Barrier Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Unsaturated hydraulic conductivities were measured in the laboratory and the field for two compacted fine-grained soils used as barrier layers in landfill final covers. The instantaneous profile method was used for the ... -
Compressibility of Clays: Fundamental and Practical Aspects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The compressibility of natural clays is influenced by numerous factors: strain rate, temperature, sampling disturbance, stress path, and some restructuring factors. The first part of the paper reviews the effects of these ... -
State of the Art: Limit Equilibrium and Finite-Element Analysis of Slopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)In the past 25 years great strides have been made in the area of static stability and deformation analysis. The widespread availability of microcomputers has brought about considerable change in the computational aspects ... -
Anchorage Behavior of Shaft Anchors in Alluvial Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Based on the full-scale test results of 29 shaft anchors installed in the silty alluvial soil of the Taipei basin, the anchorage behaviors of anchors having two different types of tendon assemblies, namely the singly ... -
Influence of Hammer Type on SPT Results
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The case of a relatively uniform sand site in Chicago is presented. Standard penetration test (SPT) values from samples driven using a drilling rig equipped with an automatic hammer were consistently lower than those from ... -
Field Observations on Stabilization of Unpaved Roads with Geosynthetics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The construction, instrumentation, and response to vehicle trafficking of an unpaved road on soft ground are described. The road is comprised of an unreinforced section, three sections with different geotextiles, and a ... -
