Performance of Embankment Stabilized with Vertical Drains on Soft Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)This study describes the performance of a full‐scale embankment raised on a soft marine clay, stabilized with vertical band drains in Malaysia. The finite element code CRISP, which is based on critical‐state soil mechanics, ... -
Liquefaction‐Induced Damage to Buildings in 1990 Luzon Earthquake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The Luzon Earthquake of 1990 -
Ground‐Motion and Soil‐Response Analyses for Leninakan, 1988 Armenia Earthquake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Two earlier papers by the writers, appearing in the preceding issue of the journal, presented an overview of the seismological and engineering aspects of the 1988 Armenia earthquake and examined building damage statistics ... -

Seismological, Soil and Valley Effects in Kirovakan, 1988 Armenia Earthquake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)There is substantial evidence that the city of Kirovakan, Armenia, despite its proximity (10 km) to the fault, experienced in general very small intensity of shaking during the 1988 earthquake. Moreover, the distribution ... -
Postearthquake Deformation Analysis of Wildlife Site
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Postearthquake deformations of the Wildlife site, Imperial Valley, Calif., following the 1987 Superstition Hills earthquake, have been interpreted by finite‐element deformation analyses. The analyses consider the stress ... -
Estimating Hydraulic Conductivity of Compacted Clay Liners
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)A database is described that contains laboratory measurements of hydraulic conductivity and associated soil properties that were extracted from construction reports for compacted soil liners. The database contains measurements ... -
Non‐Linear Model for Dynamic Axial Pile Response
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)An analysis of pile axial response to transient dynamic loading and to harmonic loading is presented allowing for nonlinear soil behavior, energy dissipation through radiation damping, soil hysteresis, and the loading rate ... -
Dynamic Modeling and Response of Soil‐Wall Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Following a brief review of the inaccuracies that may result from the use of a popular model for evaluating the dynamic soil pressures and associated forces induced by ground shaking in a rigid wall retaining an elastic ... -
Reliability Applied to Slope Stability Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Formally probabilistic methods for the analysis of slope stability have had relatively little impact on practice. Many engineers are not familiar with probabilistic concepts, and it has been difficult to incorporate concepts ... -
Extraction of Dynamic Soil Properties Using Extended Kalman Filter
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)A procedure for nonlinear system identification of soils using strong‐motion records obtained in a downhole seismograph array is presented. This study uses, in conducting the identification, the extended Kalman filter, ... -
Cyclic Threshold Shear Strains in Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Based on a synthesis of published laboratory data, two types of cyclic threshold shear strain are examined and their approximate magnitudes identified for different types of soils. They are the linear cyclic threshold shear ... -
Liquefaction‐Induced Lateral Spreading of Mildly Sloping Ground
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Dynamic centrifuge modeling was used to study the behavior of two mildly sloping ground models subjected to earthquake loading and liquefaction. The first model consisted of a uniform layer of saturated sand, and the second ... -
State Parameter from Self‐Boring Pressuremeter Tests in Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The present paper provides an analysis of self‐boring pressuremeter tests in sand in terms of the state parameter. The method developed herein can be used to determine the in‐situ sand state from the results of the self‐boring ... -
Bearing Capacity of Rectangular Footings on Geogrid‐Reinforced Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)A study was undertaken to investigate the bearing capacity of rectangular footings on geogrid‐reinforced sand by performing laboratory model tests as well as finite‐element analyses. The effects of the depth to the first ... -
Perimeter Load Transfer in Model Drilled Shafts Formed under Slurry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Experimental laboratory‐scale studies were conducted on the effect of the use of various mineral and polymer drilling slurries on the perimeter load transfer in drilled shafts in saturated sand. Parallel measurements were ... -
T‐Bar Penetration Testing in Soft Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)A t‐bar penetration test for soft clay that can be performed with existing cone penetration test (CPT) equipment is described. The results of the test can be directly related to the undrained shear strength of the clay via ... -
