Closure to “Cone Penetration in Very Weakly Cemented Sand” by Anand J. Puppala, Yalcın B. Acar, and Mehmet T. Tumay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Closure to “Desiccation Theory for Soft Cohesive Soils” by A. Naser Abu‐Hejleh and Dobroslav Znidarčić
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Representation of Compacted Clay Minifabric Using Random Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)This paper demonstrates the application of two-dimensional random networks to quantitatively represent the minifabric of compacted clays. The structure of compacted clays is idealized using aggregations of spherical clusters ... -
Discussion: Desiccation Theory for Soft Cohesive Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Lateral Capacity of Helical Piles in Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)In this paper, the behavior of helical piles under lateral loads in clayey soils is examined through an experimental investigation on model piles. Tests were conducted on rigid helical piles with different numbers of plates. ... -
Magnitude Scaling Factors for Soil Liquefaction Evaluations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Energy concepts are applied to the conditions that are likely to have existed at distant liquefaction sites in past earthquakes. From this, magnitude scaling factors are derived that reflect field cyclic strength conditions. ... -
Analysis of Behavior of Sand Surrounding Pile Tips
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A finite-element approach is presented to predict the behavior of dense sand surrounding the pile tip in a fairly large stress range, from low stress levels to very high ones, where particle breakage occurs. The approach ... -
Model for Efficiency of Soil Flushing Using PVD-Enhanced System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A predictive model for drain-enhanced soil flushing is developed and presented. Results from a parametric study indicate that, as the depth of the contaminated zone ( -
Estimating Settlement of Sand Caused by Construction Vibration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Construction and maintenance of buildings and roads, and normal traffic activities, all generate vibrations in nearby structures. Multiple investigations showed that in most cases the levels of vibration were too low to ... -
Correlations Between Simple Field Test and Relative Density-Test Values
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Correlations developed between a simple field test, a 1 point standard Proctor test on air-dry sand, and relative density-test values are presented for 29 filter sands studied. The correlations allow prediction of 70 and ... -
Closure to “Down‐Hole Collapse Test System” by Sandra L. Houston, Hisham H. H. Mahmoud, and William N. Houston
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Formation of Shear Zones in Reinforced Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A series of tests was conducted in a plane-strain hollow cylindrical testing device. The reinforced sand samples developed wider shear zones than the unreinforced samples and had wider shear zones than similarly reinforced ... -
Effect of Gravel on Pumping Behavior of Compacted Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Pumping can occur when clay is compacted wet of optimum. Rather than densifying, the clayey soil squeezes out from underneath the compaction equipment. Adding gravel to the clayey soil creates a granular skeleton that ... -
Ground-Movement-Related Building Damage
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A concept for evaluation of building damage resulting from differential ground movement is presented in this paper. The concept is intended as a first-order method for damage assessment and relies on ground movement profile ... -
Discussion: Down-Hole Collapse Test System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Discussion of “Down‐Hole Collapse Test System” by Sylvio R. M. Ferreira, Willy A. Lacerda, and Francisco R. Lopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Forced Vibration of Full-Scale Wall-Backfill System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A full-scale vibration test is conducted to measure the low-amplitude dynamic characteristics of a reinforced concrete cantilever wall-backfill system. Measurements during a frequency sweep are recorded along the wall ... -
Centrifuge Modeling of Geotextile-Reinforced Cohesive Soil Retaining Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Twenty-four reduced scale models of vertical and steeply sloping (1 -
Approximate Theory for Radial Filtration/Consolidation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Approximate solutions are developed for filtration and subsequent consolidation of compactible cakes on a cylindrical filter element. Darcy's flow equation is coupled with equations for equilibrium stress under the conditions ... -
Closure to “Winter Effects on Hydraulic Conductivity of Compacted Clay” by Craig H. Benson
