Computer Application of CLM Lateral Load Analysis to Piles and Drilled Shafts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The characteristic load method (CLM) for analysis at laterally loaded piles and drilled shafts can be used to accurately estimate ground-line deflections and maximum bending moments for both free-head and fixed-head piles ... -

(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Closure to “Liquefaction and Postliquefaction Behavior of Sand” by Y. P. Vaid and J. Thomas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Discussion: Permanent Deformation on Preexisting Sliding Surfaces in Dams

Plate Anchor Groups Pulled Vertically in Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Results are presented of model-scale vertical pulling tests carried out on groups of square anchor plates in row and square configurations. The tests were carried out at a single depth of embedment, which ensured shallow ... -
Erosion and Stability of a Mine Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Mine soils developed from mine spoils commonly have a wide range of particle size. The slopes of old spoil piles usually are marked by gullies due to years of uncontrolled erosion. These characteristics raise questions ... -
Statistics of Free Surface Flow through Stochastic Earth Dam
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Even though soil is a highly variable material, the analysis of flow through earth dams typically proceeds deterministically and results can sometimes be quite misleading. In fact it is well known that soil permeability ... -
Probabilistic Analysis of Randomly Distributed Fiber-Reinforced Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A series of triaxial compression tests were carried out on cohesionless soils reinforced with discrete, randomly distributed fibers, both synthetic and natural, to study the influence of fiber characteristics (i.e., weight ... -
LATWAK: Impact Test to Obtain Pile Lateral Static Stiffness
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The LATWAK test consists of hitting in the horizontal direction the side of a pile on which a horizontal velocity transducer is attached. The blow is delivered with a sledge hammer equipped with a dynamic force transducer. ... -
Investigation on Active Isolation of Machine Foundations by Open Trenches
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Ground disturbance due to waves generated by a machine foundation can be detrimental to adjacent structures or sensitive equipment operating nearby. Most of the vibratory energy that affects structures nearby is carried ... -
Strain Localization and Undrained Steady State of Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Experimental results are presented that characterize the behavior of a loose, fine-grained, water-saturated sand tested under globally undrained conditions is a plane strain apparatus. Together with local measurements of ... -
Ground Movement Prediction for Deep Excavations in Soft Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)This paper presents results of a series of numerical experiments, using nonlinear finite-element analyses, which investigate the effects of wall embedment depth, support conditions, and stress history profile on the undrained ... -
Discussion of “Impact of Weight Falling onto the Ground” by S. Thilakasiri, G. Mullins, P. Stinnette, and M. Gunaratne
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Electrical Resistivity of Compacted Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Relationships between electrical resistivity, compaction conditions, hydraulic conductivity, and index properties are reported for ten soils that have been used for constructing compacted soil liners having low field-scale ... -
Closure to “State Parameter from Self‐Boring Pressuremeter Tests in Sand” by H. S. Yu
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Discussion: Impact of Weight Falling onto the Ground
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Earth Slide on Geomembrane
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)This note describes slide failures of the inside slope of a water reservoir, following a prolonged period of heavy rainfall. The reservoir had just been completed and was empty. Sliding took place along the plane of the ... -
