Influence of Axial Stress and Dilatancy on Rock Tunnel Stability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)In many existing elastoplastic plane-strain solutions for a circular tunnel excavated in a homogeneous, isotropic rock mass under a hydrostatic stress field, the longitudinal axial stress (or the out-of-plane stress) σ -
Yield Acceleration of Lined Landfills
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A simplified block analysis to evaluate yield accelerations of a refuse mass founded on a weak interface is presented. Comparison with results obtained from conventional slope stability evaluations indicate excellent ... -
Nonlinear Lateral Pile Deflection Prediction in Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A method has been developed to predict the load-displacement relationship for single piles subjected to lateral load, embedded in sands, considering soil nonlinearity using subgrade reaction. This is the first systematic ... -
One-Dimensional Compression of Sands at High Pressures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A one-dimensional testing apparatus was developed to test soils to axial stresses up to 850 MPa. The apparatus was instrumented with strain gauges such that lateral soil stresses, and therefore -
Undrained Sand Behavior in Axisymmetric Tests at High Pressures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The results from an experimental study of undrained granular material behavior at high pressures are presented. Axisymmetric specimens of dense Cambria sand were tested in undrained triaxial compression tests between initial ... -
Discussion of “Unified Formulation for Analysis of Slopes with General Slip Surface” by Stephen G. Wright and James Michael Duncan
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Drained Sand Behavior in Axisymmetric Tests at High Pressures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The results of an experimental study of granular materials at high pressures are presented. Axisymmetric specimens of dense Cambria sand were tested in drained triaxial compression tests between confining pressures of 0.05 ... -
Discussion: Analysis of Rainfall-Induced Debris Flows
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Advective-Diffusive Contaminant Migration in Unsaturated Sand and Gravel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A method is presented for estimating the diffusion coefficients for chloride and sodium in unsaturated coarse sand and fine gravel based on parameters obtained from saturated diffusion tests conducted for similar material. ... -
Modeling of Sinkholes in Weakly Cemented Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Sinkhole development in a profile with a weakly cemented sand overlain by an uncemented sand and underlain by a karst limestone was studied using 51 reduced-scale stress-correct centrifuge models. The interaction between ... -
Vector Analysis of Keyblock Rotations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The mechanical response of rock slopes and excavations depends largely on the geometry of discontinuities and associated rock blocks. Commonly used rigid block models for determining stability, such as the sliding wedge ... -
Closure to “Analysis of Rainfall‐Induced Debris Flows” by Scott A. Anderson and Nicholas Sitar
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Effect of Degree of Weathering on Dynamic Properties of Residual Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The process of soil formation in the tropics is quite different than that of more temperate regions. The weathering processes tend to be intensified by the warm and humid climates that are prevalent in tropical regions. ... -
Difference between Load-Transfer Relationships for Laterally Loaded Pile Groups: Active <b><i>p</i></b> - <b><i>y</i></b> or Passive <b><i>p</i></b> -δ
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Two-dimensional (2D) finite-element analyses were carried out to study undrained soil deformation around piles displaced laterally through soil. The load-transfer -
