Closure to “<i>Undrained Shear Strength of Liquefied Sands for Stability Analysis</i>” by Timothy D. Stark and Gholamreza Mesri (November, 1992, Vol. 118, No. 11)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994) -
Closure to “<i>Swell versus Saturation for Compacted Clay</i>” by Robert W. Day (August, 1992, Vol. 118, No. 8)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994) -
Unified Formulation for Analysis of Slopes with General Slip Surface
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The general availability of computers has provided efficient means of assessing the stability of slopes using several analytical methods. However, the increased use of computers coupled with a lack of unified presentation ... -
Response Prediction of Granular Materials at Low Effective Stresses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Analysis of laboratory experiments and model structures on cohesionless granular materials conducted at very low effective stress levels have shown that their response to loading differs significantly from that observed ... -
Potential for Seepage Erosion of Landslide Dam
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The failure potential of the debris‐avalanche dam at Castle Lake near Mount St. Helens, Washington, by three processes of seepage erosion: (1) Heave; (2) piping; and (3) internal erosion, is examined. A three‐dimensional ... -
Performance of Anisotropic Geosynthetic‐Reinforced Cohesive Soil Mass
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)This paper describes the performance of a unit cell of soil‐geosynthetic composite in which the predominant construction and loading conditions of a geosynthetic‐reinforced soil structure were simulated. A silty clay was ... -
Seismic Lateral Pressures in Soils with Cohesion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)A full‐range, elastic‐plastic solution for seismic stresses in the free field is obtained for an ideal Mohr‐Coulomb material with cohesion. In addition, the effect of uniform surface tractions are included as are both ... -
Surface Settlement Due to Shear Stresses at Depth
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Mindlin's solution for surface vertical displacement due to a horizontal force at depth is first examined and then integrated for shear stresses acting on a long rectangular reinforcing strip. Four types (constant, linear ... -
Discussion of “<i>Deformation of Fill Slopes Caused by Wetting</i>” by Iraj Noorany, Joel A. Sweet, and Ian M. Smith (1992, Vol. 2, pp. 1244–1257)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994) -
Resilient Modulus for Fine‐Grained Subgrade Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)A method has been developed for the estimation of resilient modulus of compacted fine‐grained subgrade soils. The method takes into account the influence of soil physical state, stress state, and soil type. The effect of ... -
Closure to “<i>Large‐Scale Loading Tests of Shallow Footings in Pneumatic Caisson</i>” by Osamu Kusakabe, Yoshito Maeda, and Masatoshi Ohuchi (November, 1992, Volume 118, No. 11)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994) -
Vertical Uplift Capacity of Horizontal Anchors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The method of characteristics coupled with a log‐spiral failure surface was used to develop a theory for vertical uplift capacity of shallow horizontal strip anchors in a general -
Analysis of Site Liquefaction Using Earthquake Records
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The surface and downhole accelerations, and pore‐water pressures recorded during the 1987 earthquakes at a site in the Imperial Wildlife Management Area (Imperial County, Calif.) are used to obtain direct estimates of the ... -
Piezometer Performance at Wildlife Liquefaction Site, California
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)In response to an urgent need for field data from instrumented liquefaction sites, the U.S. Geological Survey in 1982 selected and instrumented a site in southern California called the Wildlife site. Two accelerometers ... -
Shallow Tunnels in Cohesionless Soil: Stability of Tunnel Face
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Few theoretical methods and experimental data exist for the analysis of tunnel‐face stability in cohesionless soils. The present paper addresses a series of practical questions by using centrifugal‐model tests. The values ... -
Stress‐Path Dependent Shear Strength of Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Failure envelopes of sands are often considered to be nonlinear depending both on relative density and stress level. Triaxial tests that were performed on clean alluvial‐quartzitic Zbraslav sand were used for analyzing the ... -
Dynamic Compaction of Loose Granular Soils: Effect of Print Spacing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)A method is presented to evaluate the effect of print spacing on the dynamic compaction of loose granular soils. It uses a recently developed wave‐equation model together with an approach to predict the lateral extent of ... -
Effect of Heat Treatment on Strength of Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The main objective of this investigation was to understand the strength development of clays below fusion or vitrification temperatures of 900°C. The other objective was to establish threshold temperatures to produce a ... -
