Void Sizes in Granular Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)In an earlier paper, the writer presented a simple stochastic model of the grain and pore structure in cohesionless soils and similar materials. Equations that very adequately predict the void ratio as a function of ... -
Hydraulic Conductivity of Desiccated Geosynthetic Clay Liners
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Large-scale tests were performed to determine the effect of a cycle of wetting and drying on the hydraulic conductivity of several geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs). The GCLs were covered with 0.6 m of pea gravel and permeated ... -
Failure of Fiber-Reinforced Granular Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Short fibers have been tried in the past few years as a soil-improvement admixture (reinforcement), yet no failure criteria for fiber-reinforced soils, consistent with numerical methods for solving boundary-value problems, ... -
Polymer Impregnation to Assist Undisturbed Sampling of Cohesionless Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Agarose, a derivative of the natural polymer, agar, is proposed as an impregnate to stabilize the in-situ structure of cohesionless soils before sampling. The gel solution is injected into the in-situ voids after heating ... -
Discussion of “Evaluation of Liquefaction by Energy Principles” by J. Ludwig Figueroa, Adel S. Saada, Liqun Liang, and Nitin M. Dahisaria
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Red River U-Frame Lock No. 1 Backfill-Structure-Foundation Interaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)With a limited amount of data on soil properties and limited instrumentation readings, important aspects of lock performance from initial construction through major flood events, including siltation, were reasonably estimated ... -

HDPE Geomembrane/Geotextile Interface Shear Strength
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)This paper describes torsional ring shear tests on interfaces comprised of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes/nonwoven geotextiles and a drainage geocomposite. Four textured geomembranes with three different ... -
Undrained Multidirectional Direct Simple Shear Behavior of Cohesive Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The foundation soil of an offshore Arctic gravity structure is subjected to complex loading conditions. In addition to radial shear stresses induced by the weight of a structure, large horizontal shear forces from ice loads ... -
Closure to “Statistical Sample Size for Construction of Soil Liners” by Craig H. Benson, Huaming Zhai, and Salwa M. Rashad
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Rate-Dependent Undrained Shear Behavior of Saturated Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The paper describes results from 25 -
Discussion: Statistical Sample Size for Construction of Soil Liners

Electrokinetic Remediation. I: Pilot-Scale Tests with Lead-Spiked Kaolinite
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The feasibility and efficiency of transporting lead under electric fields are investigated at pilot scale in three 1 t Georgia kaolinite specimens spiked with lead nitrate solution and at an electrode spacing of 72 cm. ... -
Closure to “Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Noncohesive Soils” by Bohdan Zadroga
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Electrokinetic Remediation. II: Theoretical Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A mathematical model is presented for multicomponent species transport under coupled hydraulic, electric, and chemical potential differences. Mass balance of species and pore fluid together with charge balance across the ... -
