Closure to “<i>Ultimate Settlement by Hyperbolic Plot for Clays with Vertical Drains</i>” by Siew‐Ann Tan (May, 1993, Vol. 119, No. 5)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994) -
Foundation Uniform Pressure and Soil‐Structure Interaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Practicing foundation engineers tend to consider the foundation load as the point load when they want to consider its influence on the adjacent foundations. They believe that it will yield conservative results when a ... -
Discussion of “<i>Ultimate Settlement by Hyperbolic Plot for Clays with Vertical Drains</i>” by Siew‐Ann Tan (May, 1993, Vol. 119, No. 5)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994) -
Cover‐Subsidence Sinkhole Evaluation of State Road 434, Longwood, Florida
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)This paper presents the results of a cover‐subsidence sinkhole evaluation. In this case, the sinkhole activity caused a slow, gradual settlement of the State Road 434/Harbour Isle Way intersection, in Longwood, Florida. ... -
Postcyclic undrained strength for Cohesive Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The undrained strength of saturated cohesive soils after cyclic loading decreases and increases depending on whether the soil is initially normally consolidated or overconsolidated and whether drainage is included during ... -
Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Noncohesive Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)A bearing‐capacity analysis of shallow footings and strip foundations subjected to axial, eccentric, and inclined loading is presented for noncohesive soils. The influences of load eccentricity and inclination, subsoil ... -
Surficial Stability of Compacted Clay: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The factor of safety for surficial stability is highly dependent on the effective cohesion. This study shows that even when triaxial tests are performed at effective pressures as low as 13.8 kPa (2.0 psi), the results may ... -
Permanent Deformation on Preexisting Sliding Surfaces in Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)A finite‐element model capable of computing permanent deformations along preexisting sliding surfaces in dams and embankments is used to evaluate the error in the current state‐of‐practice two‐step procedures that are based ... -
Closure to “<i>Analysis of Deep Excavation in Boston</i>” by Andrew J. Whittle, Youssef M. A. Hashash, and Robert V. Whitman (January, 1993, Vol. 119, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994) -
Discussion of “<i>Wave Equation Parameters from Driven‐Rod Test</i>” by Robert Y. Liang and Yuanjing Sheng (June, 1993, Vol. 119, No. 6)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994) -
Closure to “<i>New Perspectives on Soil Creep</i>” by Matthew R. Kuhn and James K. Mitchell (March, 1993, Vol. 119, No. 3)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994) -
Influence of Geotextiles on Performance of Saline Sebkha Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Along the western shores of the Arabian Gulf, saline soils, known as sebkhas, are widely distributed. These soils are associated with many geotechnical problems that emerge principally because of their high salt content ... -

Closure to “<i>Laboratory and Field Leaching Tests on Coastal Salt‐Bearing Soils</i>” by Nabil F. Ismael (March, 1993, Vol. 119, No. 3)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994) -

Discussion of “<i>Simplified Dynamic Method for Pile‐Driving Control</i>” by Robert Y. Liang and Abdallah I. Husein (April, 1993, Vol. 119, No. 4)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994) -
Arching in Piled Embankments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Model tests and theoretical analysis were done to investigate the arching in embankments on soft ground supported by piles with cap beams and geo‐textiles. The cap‐beam‐and‐geotextile combination may alleviate the uneven ... -
Modified Odometer for Arid, Saline Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Recent work conducted on a salt‐encrusted, surficial soil, known as sabkha, indicated that the conventional oedometer apparatus was incapable of detecting the collapse potential. This study proposes a modification to the ... -
Critical Concepts for Column Testing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Concepts critical for the evaluation of the miscible transport parameters from laboratory soil columns are presented. Failure to recognize a distinction between solute concentrations within the soil and solute concentrations ... -
Design of Landfill Leachate‐Collection Filters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Geotextile‐filter design for the leachate‐collection system in a municipal solid‐waste landfill is quite different from that of a geotextile‐filter design for other conventional geotechnical drainage applications. This is ...
