Interparticle Contact Behavior and Wave Propagation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The low-strain stiffness and energy dissipation in particulate materials is strongly determined by the behavior of contacts. This paper presents results of a test program designed to study the effect of contact response ... -
Theory and Practice of Projectile's Penetration in Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Experimental studies of soil penetration by low-velocity projectiles stimulated the development of theoretical modeling of the phenomena. We developed a model of vertical penetration of granular soils verified by known ... -
One-Dimensional Finite-Element Model for High Flow Velocities in Porous Media
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)This paper presents a one-dimensional (1D) finite-element model for the estimation of ground-water flow through a valley fill. The model determines the piezometric head profile as well as velocities through a waste rock ... -
Deformation Characteristics of Piedmont Residual Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Site investigations conducted at the North Carolina State University Research Farm and adjacent construction sites provided the database to study the soil profile and deformation characteristics of Piedmont residual soil. ... -
Dynamic Properties of Piedmont Residual Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Piedmont residual soils were formed by in-situ weathering of igneous and metamorphic rocks. In this research project, their dynamic properties (shear modulus and damping) were investigated by performing a combination of ... -

Constitutive Relations for Partially Saturated Soils Containing Gas Inclusions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)This paper is concerned with a mathematical description of the undrained response of partially saturated soils having a continuous liquid phase (water) and a gas in the form of discrete bubbles. Two types of soil structures ... -
Grain-Size Distribution for Smallest Possible Void Ratio
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)In an earlier paper, the writer derived theoretical equations for void ratio as a function of grain-size distribution. Here, the equations are used to find the grain-size distributions that give the smallest possible void ... -
Closure to “Earthquake Fault Rupture Propagation Through Soil” by Jonathan D. Bray, Raymond B. Seed, Lloyd S. Cluff, and H. Bolton Seed
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Seismic Rehabilitation of Earth Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The purpose of this paper is to present methods available for engineered remediation of seismically deficient earth dams (not including tailings dams), to review their strengths and weaknesses, to present case histories ... -
Neural-Network Modeling of CPT Seismic Liquefaction Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The use of the cone-penetration-test (CPT) resistance data as a field index for evaluating the liquefaction potential of sands is receiving increased attention because of the popularity of this in situ test method for the ... -
Chloride Migration through Clayey Silt Underlain by Fine Sand or Silt
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Chloride diffusion coefficients of 5.7 × 10 -
