Frequency-Domain Analysis of Electrical Dispersion of Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)A theoretical frequency-domain general solution for the electric dispersion of soils is presented here. The theory rigorously takes into account the effects of particle shape, frequency, soil mineralogy, pore fluid type, ... -
Discussion of “Pile Groups under Negative Skin Friction” by C. Y. Lee
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Influence of Viscous Coupling in Propagation of Elastic Waves in Saturated Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The interactions between the solid and fluid phases of saturated porous media are due to inertial, viscous, and mechanical coupling. In particular, viscous coupling plays a key role because it makes wave propagation ... -
Function-Based Condition Indexing for Embankment Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)A total-systems approach is presented for the development of condition-indexing systems for aging civil engineering facilities that formalizes the necessary decision-making process. An application is given for embankment ... -
Seepage-Induced Slope Failures on Sandbars in Grand Canyon
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The effect of fluctuating discharge from Glen Canyon Dam on downstream sandbars is of significant concern to dam operators, environmentalists, and the public. In this contribution, the observations of seepage-related erosion ... -

Study of Pile Driving by Finite-Element Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Results from the computational driving of a concrete pile below a prebored hole (referred to as a “prebored” pile for convenience) in an undrained, normally consolidated clayey soil are presented. The analysis uses a ... -
Cyclic Swelling Behavior of Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)This paper investigates the effect of cyclic wetting and drying on the expansive characteristics of clays. For this purpose, six expansive soils were obtained from various locations in Irbid (a city in northern Jordan). ... -
System Identification and its Application to Estimating Soil Properties
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)This paper examines the meaning of principal methods of system identification (SI). System identification is seen as a unique procedure to estimate in situ soil properties, especially soil subject to large strain. When ... -
Analysis of Rainfall-Induced Debris Flows
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Rainfall-induced debris flows are flow failures in residual and colluvial soils initiated by a reduction of confining stress as a result of pore-water pressure rise during or following periods of intense rainfall. To ... -
Triaxial <i>A</i> -value versus Swell or Collapse for Compacted Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The purpose of this technical note is to compare the triaxial -

Geotechnology in Dispute Resolution: The Twenty-Sixth Terzaghi Lecture
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)This paper explores the factors that contribute to claims of changed subsurface conditions in heavy-construction contracts. It reviews methods of resolving the attendant disputes and describes a group of cases to illustrate ... -
