Analysis of Delayed Failure in Sloping Excavations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The paper describes a finite element technique that takes account of transient effects through a Biot analysis, enabling coupling of pore pressure variations to a nonlinear soil stress‐strain law. The algorithm can retrieve ... -
Limitations of Conventional Analysis of Consolidation Settlement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Consolidation settlements are often large and potentially damaging to structures. Estimating their magnitudes, and the rates at which they will occur, plays an important part in many civil engineering projects. At Bay Farm ... -
Triaxial Testing of Naturally Cemented Carbonate Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Cemented carbonate (calcarenite) soils obtained from the North West Shelf of Australia were subjected to conventional and stress‐path triaxial tests. Natural calcarenite specimens were found to have wide variations of dry ... -
Project VELACS—Control Test Results
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Results presented in this paper represent the first part of research produced by the Verification of Liquefaction Analysis by Centrifuge Studies (VELACS), a cooperative research effort involving eight universities. Ultimately, ... -
Electrical Response of Two‐Phase Soil: Theory and Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A general frequency‐domain solution for electrical response of two‐phase dilute (high porosity) soil is presented. Tensorial character of the response in terms of dielectric constants as well as the resistivities of the ... -
Field Behavior of Instrumented Geogrid Soil Reinforced Wall
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)An earth‐reinforced retaining wall utilizing geogrids with full‐height precast concrete wall facing is instrumented. Measurements include movements of wall faces, lateral earth pressure, vertical stress in the soil mass, ... -
Deformation Analysis of Embankments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Settlement and stability are the primary geotechnical considerations in the design of embankments founded on soft clay. Settlements are inevitably associated with lateral deformations. Lateral flow in turn is an indirect ... -
Discussion of “<i>Settlements of Shallow Foundations on cohesionless soils</i>” by Basil P. Papadopoulos (March, 1992, Vol. 118, N003)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993) -
Oxygen Diffusion through Soil Covers on Sulphidic Mine Tailings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Engineered soil covers are being evaluated under Canada's Mine Environment Neutral Drainage (MEND) program for their effectiveness in preventing and controlling acid generation in sulphidic mill tailings. A critical parameter ... -
Cohesion Intercept in Effective Stress‐Stability Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The cohesion intercept in the Coulomb shear‐strength equation has a significant influence on the location of the slip surface and the factor of safety. The cohesion intercept results from a linear approximation of a segment ... -
