Influence of Horizontal Stresses on Gilgai Landforms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Liquefaction-Induced Ground-Surface Disruption
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Although liquefaction is a major cause of earthquake damage, little harm occurs unless the liquefied condition leads to some form of ground disruption or ground failure. Thus, the ability to accurately predict potential ... -
Uplift Capacity of Small-Diameter Drilled Shafts from In Situ Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Closure to “Mitigation Measures for Small Structures on Collapsible Alluvial Soils” by Kyle M. Rollins and G. Wayne Rogers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Effect of Nonuniform Stresses on Measured DSS Stress-Strain Behavior
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Closure to “Effect of Nonuniform Stresses on Measured DSS Stress‐Strain Behavior” by Don J. DeGroot, John T. Germaine, and Charles C. Ladd
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Building Response due to Subway Train Traffic
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)There are several existing methods for determining groundborne vibrations in buildings due to subway train traffic that are essentially based on empirically derived relationships. These methods are not able to handle ... -
Scaled Memory Model for Undrained Behavior of Anisotropic Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)A constitutive model, based on the concept of scaled memory (SM), is presented to describe the undrained behavior of anisotropic clays subjected to generalized loadings. The SM capabilities that were previously established ... -
Scaled Memory Model for Cyclic Behavior of Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)A constitutive model, based on the novel concept of scaled memory (SM), is presented to describe the hysteretic stress-strain response curves of soils during one-dimensional loadings. SM transforms the nonlinear plastic ... -
Liquefaction under Random Loading: Unit Energy Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Liquefaction triggered by earthquakes is a source of major damage to structures resting on loose to medium sandy soils. The use of energy levels to define the onset of liquefaction has been validated in a previous study ... -
Cumulative Mass Approach for Column Testing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)A cumulative mass approach for laboratory column testing using an analytical solution for miscible transport through soil is presented. The cumulative mass approach differs from the more traditional approach for column ... -
Centrifugal Modeling of Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The study of shallow footings under plane-strain conditions became important when many researchers reported the lack of agreement between theoretical and experimental findings. A better understanding of the behavior of ... -
Effects of Modeling Soil Nonlinearity and Wall Installation on Back-Analysis of Deep Excavation in Stiff Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)This paper describes the application of two relatively simple models: a linear elastic–perfectly plastic Mohr-Coulomb and a nonlinear “brick” model for simulating the top-down construction of a multipropped excavation in ... -
Infiltration and Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity of Compacted Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Infiltration tests were conducted in the laboratory to study water movement during infiltration in compacted clay and to determine the suction head at the wetting front as defined in the Green-Ampt infiltration equation. ... -
Long-Term Pullout Behavior of Polymeric Geogrids
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Polymeric geogrids are widely used in various geotechnical-, transportation-, and environmental-related applications. Among the major uses of geogrids are reinforced soil walls, steep slopes, and landfill expansions. Current ... -
Landform Grading and Slope Evolution
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Transportation corridors and residential developments in steep terrain both require that some grading be carried out to accommodate roadways and building sites. The manner in which this grading is planned and executed and ... -
Estimating Field Hydraulic Conductivity of Compacted Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Results of hydraulic-conductivity tests conducted in the field and laboratory are presented for soils collected from 11 compacted-clay test pads or liners. The field tests were conducted with sealed double-ring infiltrometers ... -
Mitigation Measures for Small Structures on Collapsible Alluvial Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Winter Effects on Hydraulic Conductivity of Compacted Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)A field test was conducted to determine if freeze-thaw cycles cause increases in hydraulic conductivity in the field, as has been observed in laboratory tests. A test pad of compacted clay was instrumented for monitoring ... -
