Uplift Capacity of Small‐Diameter Drilled Shafts from In Situ Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Predictions of the ultimate uplift capacity of six small‐diameter drilled shafts installed in stiff cohesive soil are compared with pullout tests conducted to failure. The shafts were installed by the dry‐hole method with ... -
Early Detection of Rock Movement with Time Domain Reflectometry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Remote operation of a time domain reflectometry (TDR) system demonstrates the effectiveness of telemetric monitoring for early detection of rock movement. During field testing reported here, TDR data were related to shear ... -
Seismic Parameters from Liquefaction Evidence
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The Charleston, S.C., earthquake of 1886 -
Mechanical Properties of Kaolinite/Fiber Soil Composite
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The mechanical properties of a kaolinite/fiber soil composite were evaluated by a series of laboratory unconfined‐compression, splitting‐tension, three‐point‐bending, and hydraulic‐conductivity tests. The inclusion of ... -
Estimating Basal‐Heave Stability for Braced Excavations in Soft Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The basal stability of braced excavation systems in soft clay has been investigated using the finite‐element method. A linear elastic‐perfectly plastic relationship is used to model the stress‐strain behavior of the soil. ... -
Laterally Loaded Piles in Elastic Media
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)A numerical approach and parametric study for the calculation of the soil and pile interaction under lateral loading are presented. The method uses variational calculus to obtain the governing differential equations of the ... -
Impact of Weight Falling onto the Ground
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The application of some nondestructive testing procedures for soils and pavements, such as the spectral analysis of surface waves method, requires the use of dynamic sources at some point on the surface of the ground to ... -
