Gas in Soil. I: Detection and η‐Profiling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Increasing offshore construction activities in areas where marine sediments contain gas (either in dissolved or free form) have generated an interest in developing in situ test equipment capable of detecting and quantifying ... -
Gas in Soils. II: Effect of Gas on Undrained Static and Cyclic Strength of Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Gas in solution in the pore water or in its free form is found in many marine sediments around the world. The presence of gas may influence and alter the properties of the host soil, and could, in some cases, jeopardize ... -
Identification and Characterization of Collapsible Gravels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Collapsible coarse‐grained deposits present a particular challenge in both identification and characterization. This is particularly the case with collapsible gravels, where sampling is a practical impossibility. Six case ... -
Earthquake Fault Rupture Propagation through Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The phenomenon of earthquake fault rupture propagation through soil is quite complex and is not well understood at this time. This paper presents the results of an integrated investigation of this problem. Insights are ... -
Liquefaction and Embankment Failure Case Histories, 1988 Armenia Earthquake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The 1988 -
Damage Mechanisms and Influence of Gradation for Steep Riprap
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Model tests in a laboratory flume were performed to verify certain hypotheses put forward to explain steep riprap behavior observed in the field at several embankment dam sites. The laboratory study has focused on riprap ... -
Landfill Liner Interface Strengths from Torsional‐Ring‐Shear Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)A torsional‐ring‐shear apparatus and test procedure are described for measuring soil/geosynthetic and geosynthetic/geosynthetic interface strengths. Typical interface strengths are presented for a double‐composite liner ... -
Analysis of Earthquake Fault Rupture Propagation through Cohesive Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)An improved understanding of earthquake fault rupture propagation through saturated clay would assist engineers in siting and designing facilities to be constructed in regions where cohesive soils overlie potentially active ... -
Evaluation of Consolidation Behavior of Mine Tailings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)This paper presents the results of a physical and numerical model study of impounded gold mine tailings produced at Boddington Gold Mine in Western Australia. The centrifuge modeling technique is used to replicate the ... -
Nonlinear Lateral, Rocking, and Torsional Vibration of Rigid Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Two‐ and three‐dimensional finite element (FE) analyses are performed to investigate the influence of nonlinear soil behavior on the dynamic response of harmonically excited rigid foundations. Lateral, rocking, and torsional ... -
Closure to “<i>Dynamic Interface Shear Strength Properties of Geomembranes and Geotextiles</i>” by M. K. Yegian and A. M. Lahlaf (May 1992, Vol. 118, No. 5)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994) -
Hyperbolic Stress‐Strain Parameters for Silts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The hyperbolic stress‐strain model has been shown to be valid for modeling the nonlinear stress‐strain behavior of soils prior to failure in soil‐structure interaction analyses. However, guidelines for selecting hyperbolic ... -

Discussion by “<i>Field Performance and Analysis of Steep Riprap</i>” by Guy Lefebvre, Karol Rohan, Mahrez Ben Belfadhel, and Oscar Dascal (September 1992)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994) -
Creep Effects on Static and Cyclic Instability of Granular Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Stability postulates by Drucker and by Hill are applicable to solid metal. When applied to granular material exhibiting nonassociated flow, these concepts of stability imply that the material may be unstable when exposed ... -
Explicit Stresses under Rectangular Footings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The calculation of stresses under rectangular footings with biaxial bending is carried out by solving the three‐equations system that sets up the load and soil stresses equilibrium. When a planar soil stresses distribution ... -
