Automated Surface Wave Method: Field Testing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW) method is a nondestructive in situ seismic testing method for determining shear wave velocity profiles of soil sites and stiffness profiles of pavement systems. The key steps ... -
Pile Group Settlement Analysis by Hybrid Layer Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)This paper describes a simplified hybrid layer approach for settlement analysis of axially loaded pile groups. The shaft and base interactions are considered separately in individual piles in a group. Semianalytical ... -
Digital Filtering Techniques for Interpreting Seismic Cone Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Seismic cone penetration testing (SCPT), a relatively new in situ technique, records the arrival of seismic waves generated at the surface using velocity or acceleration transducers installed in an electric piezocone. To ... -
Simulating Seasonal Ground Movement in Unsaturated Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The results of a theoretical, experimental, and numerical investigation into the volume‐change behavior of an unsaturated clay are described. The theoretical approach adopted is presented and its implementation detailed. ... -
Automated Surface Wave Method: Inversion Technique
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The spectral‐analysis‐of‐surface‐waves (SASW) method is a nondestructive testing method based upon generation and detection of elastic stress waves. The key steps involved are construction of an experimental dispersion ... -
Stress‐History‐Based Model for Ge of Cohesionless soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)An empirical, stress‐history‐based model for the small strain (or elastic) shear modulus -
Preconsolidation versus Aging Behavior of Kaolinite Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Results of resonant column tests were used to determine the effects of overconsolidation ratio (OCR) and of aging on the normalized rate of secondary increase -
Ultimate Settlement by Hyperbolic Plot for Clays with Vertical Drains
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The rectangular hyperbola method ( -
Wave Equation Parameters from Driven‐Rod Test
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A method involving the use of driven‐rod test in conjunction with the measurement of high‐strain test (HST) data is introduced as an in‐situ testing technique for the determination of Smith model parameters, including the ... -
Expansion Potential According to Uniform Building Code
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A common procedure to determine the expansion potential of a soil is to use the Uniform Building Code expansion index test. The soil sample is compacted into a confining ring using a specified compaction energy. If the ... -
Conical Test Load Measuring Compressibility
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Placing a conical‐shaped mound of soil on the ground surface provides a method for performing a large‐scale test load for characterizing the in situ compressibility of ground. This paper describes the test and gives an ... -
Field Quality Control on Earthdam: Statistical Graphics for Gauging
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Field quality control on an earthdam consists of three complementary and somewhat overlapping operations: visual inspection and continual corrections of the works in progress, gauging the process and the product, and ... -
Soil‐Fabric Measurement using Phase Transition Porosimetry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A new method for the study of soil fabric has been developed. This method has been referred to as conductometric phase transition porosimetry (CPTP). With CPTP, changes in electrical conductance and temperature of saturated ... -
Undrained Cyclic Loading of Anisotropically Consolidated Clayey Silts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Data are presented from cyclic triaxial tests on anisotropically consolidated kaolin clay and silica silt mixtures prepared in the laboratory. The soil type ranged from a pure silt to a silty clay with 40% clay content. ... -
