Swelling of Black Cotton Soil Using Centrifuge Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Expansive soils, such as black‐cotton soils, create problems for structures built on them due to their high swelling and shrinkage characteristics. In the field, the magnitude of swelling depends on the soil thickness. ... -

Impact of System Chemistry on Electroosmosis in Contaminated Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Electroosmosis in a copper‐contaminated kaolinite was highly sensitive to chemical treatment schemes designed to remove the contamination. Non‐uniform profiles of electric field intensity and pH as well as negative pore‐water ... -

Shear Modulus of Kaolin Containing Methane Bubbles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Measurements of undrained shear moduli are reported from a program of laboratory tests on reconstituted kaolin samples containing relatively large bubbles of methane gas. The experimental program included low‐frequency ... -

Experimental Behavior of Polymeric Geogrids in Pullout
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The increasing use of polymeric geogrids in reinforced soil walls and steep slopes warrants special attention to all details including their anchorage behavior. Because of the open structural nature of geogrids, their ... -
Soil Stabilization Using Oil‐Shale Solid Waste
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Oil‐shale solid wastes are evaluated for use as soil stabilizers. A laboratory study consisted of the following tests on compacted samples of soil treated with water and spent oil shale: unconfined compressive strength, ... -
Interface Shear‐Strength Properties of Roughened HDPE
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)It is generally perceived that roughened high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) has superior interface frictional properties, when in contact with any type of granular material, compared to smooth HDPE. Large‐scale direct shear ... -
Liquefaction Mechanism for Layered Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Results from four centrifuge model tests are presented. Three of the model tests involve layered soil deposits subject to base shaking; one model test involves a uniform soil deposit of sand subject to base shaking. The ... -
Working Stress Design Method for Reinforced Soil Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)A method for the internal design of reinforced soil walls based on working stresses is developed and evaluated using measurements from five full‐scale structures containing a range of reinforcement types. It is shown that, ... -
Nonlinear Axial Interaction in Pile Dynamics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)A model for the analysis of pile axial response to transient dynamic loading and to harmonic loading is presented, allowing for nonlinear behavior of the soil adjacent to the pile, energy dissipation through different types ... -
Swell‐Shrink Behavior of Compacted Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The results of this study show that the initial amount of swell and shrinkage for a clay compacted at a moisture content that was 6% wet of modified Proctor optimum was small. By allowing the compacted silty clay to cure, ...
