Collapse of Saturated Soil Due to Reduction in Confinement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The potential for collapse due to a reduction in confinement is evaluated for two very different soils: a uniformly graded sand and an undisturbed clayey colluvial soil. Soil specimens were consolidated anisotropically and ... -

Physical Similitude and Structural Collapse in <i>K</i><sub>0</sub> Compression of Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The uniaxial ( -
Crack Detection Using Time-Domain Wave Propagation Technique
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The main objectives of this paper are to determine if it is feasible to detect and size cracks with the time-domain wave propagation techniques and to recommend the best field-test configuration to be used. The focus is ... -

Colinearity of Stresses, Strains, and Strain Increments during Shearing of Soft Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The results of torsional shear tests on a normally consolidated marine clay have been analyzed to check the common assumption of colinearity between the principal directions of stress and plastic strain increment. Shear ... -
Dynamic Response of Concrete-Faced Rockfill Dams to Strong Seismic Excitation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)A dynamic plane-strain finite-element study of the response of a typical 100-m-tall concrete-faced rockfill (CFR) dam to strong seismic shaking is presented. The rockfill is modeled as an equivalent-linear material, whose ... -
FEM Assessment of Large-Strain Thaw Consolidation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Finite-element simulations using a large-strain thaw-consolidation model, formulated by the writers, are presented and compared with the data obtained from a warm-oil test pipeline at Inuvik, Northwest Territory, Canada. ... -
Seismic Stability Procedures for Solid-Waste Landfills
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)U.S. federal regulations require that municipal solid-waste landfills located in seismic impact zones be designed to resist earthquake hazards. However, due to the lack of well-documented case histories, analytical procedures ... -
Continuum versus Structural Approach to Stability of Reinforced Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Two techniques for stability analysis of reinforced soil structures are presented. In the first one, called the continuum approach here, the reinforced soil is first homogenized, and the slip-line method is used to find ... -
Liquefaction and Postliquefaction Behavior of Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The static undrained behavior of saturated sand is shown to be dilative in triaxial compression, even in the loosest deposited state. However, the behavior in triaxial extension is contractive for relative densities of up ... -
Appraisal of Ogata Solution for Solute Transport
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The advection-dispersion equation is often used to describe subsurface contaminant solute transport in a homogeneous, isotropic, and saturated geologic porous medium. An analytical solution to the equation has been developed ... -
Microstructural Changes in Sand-Bentonite Soils when Exposed to Aniline
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Bentonite was exposed to aniline through batch experiments and flexible wall conductivity tests. The mineralogy and microstructure of the samples were studied using X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron ... -
Residual Strength and Large-Deformation Potential of Loose Silty Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Laboratory and field evidence on residual shear strength, density, and penetration resistance of very loose, water-deposited silty sands and sandy silts capable of liquefying and developing large shear deformations is ... -
