Strain Rate and Preshear Effects in Cyclic Resistance of Soft Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Cyclic constant-volume direct simple shear tests were performed on intact specimens of a sensitive clay reconsolidated to the in-situ stress state resulting in an overconsolidation ratio (OCR) of 2.2. The tests were conducted ... -
Posttesting Correction Procedure for Membrane Compliance Effects on Pore Pressure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Isotropic triaxial compression tests were conducted on five different, fairly uniform sands, with mean grain sizes between 2.8 and 0.105 mm, to determine the effects of effective confining pressure, mean grain size, and ... -
Discussion of “Load Settlement Curve Method for Spread Footings on Sand” by Jean-Louis Briaud and Philippe Jeanjean
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Closure to “Response Prediction of Granular Materials at Low Effective Stresses” by Emir J. Macari-Pasqualino, Kenneth Runesson, and Stein Sture
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Liquefaction of Reclaimed Island in Kobe, Japan
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Widespread liquefaction occurred in Kobe, Japan, during the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake. At the reclaimed Port Island in Kobe, the observed large-scale liquefaction was documented by acceleration records from a downhole ... -
Closure to “<i>P‐y</i> Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles in Clay Using DMT” by M. A. Gabr, T. Lunne, and J. J. Powell
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Determining Relative Density of Sands from CPT Using Fuzzy Sets
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Significant discrepancy exists among the available correlations that are commonly used for determining relative density using cone penetration test (CPT) data. These correlations recognize the difference in sand compressibility ... -

Effect of Foundation Nonlinearity on Modal Properties of Offshore Towers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)An analysis of pile axial and lateral response to transient dynamic loading is presented allowing for nonlinear soil behavior, the discontinuity conditions at the pile-soil interface, and energy dissipation through radiation ... -

Characterization of Preferential Flow Paths in Compacted Sand-Clay Mixtures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Laboratory soil-column experiments were conducted to study the distribution of preferential flow paths resulting from removal of colloidal-size clay particles. Flow paths were assumed to result when the fluid energy was ... -

Fiber-Optic Chloride Sensor Development
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Chloride in the form of salt water is a major contaminant of ground water, percolating through landfill liners and causing corrosion of steel. Four fiber-optic sensors capable of detecting chloride concentrations were ... -
Analysis of Cantilever Sheet-Pile Walls in Cohesionless Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)A revised method is proposed for the analysis and design of cantilever retaining walls in homogeneous cohesionless soil. Like the current limit-stage design methods, the revised method is based on assumed linear pressure ... -
Cone Penetration in Very Weakly Cemented Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Cone penetration testing in very weakly cemented sands with unconfined compressive strengths of 60 kPa or less is investigated in a calibration chamber. Monterey 0/30 sand is artificially cemented with 1% and 2% portland ... -
