Discussion of “<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) -
Three‐Dimensional Analysis of Flexible Circular Culverts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The use of three‐dimensional elastic finite‐element analysis is investigated for shallow buried circular culverts responding to vehicle live loads. The analysis is an efficient semianalytic procedure that uses a two‐dimensional ... -
Predicted Behavior of Two Centrifugal Model Soil Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The finite element method is used to predict the behavior of two centrifugal reinforced soil wall models, one reinforced with a geogrid, the other with a nonwoven geotextile. Comparisons between the observed and calculated ... -
One‐Dimensional Shock and Quasi‐Static Liquefaction of Silt and Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)This paper summarizes the results of undrained quasi‐static and shock compression tests performed on confined specimens of saturated Bonny Silt, Monterey No. 0/30 sand, and a mixture of the two soils. The tests evaluated ... -
Behavior of Pressure Tunnels and Guidelines for Liner Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Numerous cases of pressure‐tunnel failures have occurred in recently commissioned projects. The cost of the remedial measures, particularly the lost revenue during the time taken for the implementation of these measures, ... -
1988 Armenia Earthquake. II: Damage Statistics versus Geologic and Soil Profiles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)This is a companion paper dealing with engineering aspects of the surface‐wave magnitude -
Statistical Sample Size for Construction of Soil Liners
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)A method is described for selecting the number of samples (i.e., the sample size) to be collected and tested during construction quality control of compacted soil liners. The sample size is selected to ensure that enough ... -
Hydraulic Conductivity Assessment of Slurry Wall Using Piezocone Test
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Cone‐penetration tests (CPTs) with pore pressure -
Model Prediction of Anisotropic Behavior of Boston Blue Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)This paper investigates predictive capabilities of the effective stress soil model MIT‐E3 (described in a companion paper) through detailed comparisons with laboratory test data for Boston blue clay (BBC). The main focus ... -
Model Studies of Effects on Lunar Soil of Chemical Explosions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)A total of 51 model tests of cratering and soil loosening were conducted using small charges of pentaerythritol tetranitrate detonated at different depths of burial and different gravitational accelerations in a lunar soil ... -
Dynamic Lateral Pressures Due to Saturated Backfills on Rigid Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)One‐directional (horizontal) shaking‐table experiments were conducted on one sandy and two cohesive saturated backfills to investigate the dynamic water and total lateral pressures against rigid nonyielding walls during ... -
Lessons Learned from Missed Predictions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)This paper focuses on the broad factors critical to the prediction process that govern the quality of predictions of the geotechnical performance of completed structures. After a discussion of these critical factors, a ... -
Pipelines and Laterally Loaded Piles in Elastoplastic Medium
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The uplift behavior of a shallow pipeline embedded in an elastoplastic medium is examined. An analytical solution for a beam on elastoplastic foundation is developed and a characteristic nondimensional load‐displacement ... -
Service Load of Short Large‐Diameter Bored Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Field loading tests of 10 short nondisplacement piles are analyzed using the writer's method of calculating the service load of long piles. The method is based on the analysis of over 200 field loading tests. A hyperbolic ... -
Cyclic Response of Axially Loaded Pile Groups
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)This paper presents a total stress hybrid load‐transfer analysis for the response of pile groups in clay under either uniform or irregular cyclic loading. The soil mass may be arbitrarily layered and the nonlinear pile ... -
Simplified Approach for Pile and Foundation Interaction Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A simple approach is described for the analysis of soil‐pile interactions under static and dynamic lateral loadings. The method uses variational calculus to obtain the governing differential equations of motion for the ... -
1988 Armenia Earthquake. I: Seismological, Geotechnical, and Structural Overview
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)This is the first in a sequence of five papers dealing with engineering aspects of the surface‐wave magnitude -
Impedance Functions of Piles in Inhomogeneous Media
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A new model is presented for characterizing the response of soils within the boundary zone around piles. The proposed concept provides for a continuous variation of soil properties with smooth transition into the outer ... -
Settlement of Pile Groups—Practical Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A simple and practical approach is presented for the analysis of settlement of large pile groups embedded in an isotropic elastic half‐space with adequate accuracy but without the expense of a complete rigorous analysis. ... -
Formulation of MIT‐E3 Constitutive Model for Overconsolidated Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)This paper presents a generalized effective stress model for describing the rate‐independent behavior of normally to moderately overconsolidated clays (with OCRs less than 8) that exhibit normalized behavior. The model ...
