Tropical Clays. II: Engineering Behavior
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The general impression with tropical soils showing changes in plasticity characteristics upon drying is that the compressibility decreases, and shear strength and permeability increase with drying. The study reported in ... -
Instability of Granular Soils under Strain Path Testing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Recent experimental studies revealed that when the drainage condition of loose sand is switched from drained to undrained it can manifest runaway instability prior to attaining the failure stress state. To study this type ... -
Closure to “<i>Durability of Geotextiles to Outdoor Exposure in Hong Kong</i>” by Edward W. Brand and P. L. Richard Pang (July, 1991, Vol. 117, No. 7)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993) -
Seepage and Soil‐Structure Interaction Effects in Braced Excavations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Flexible walls and struts in braced excavations are designed to provide lateral support and to ensure that wall movements during the excavation are not excessive. Lateral pressures and wall movements are influenced not ... -
Nonlinear Response of Vertically Oscillating Rigid Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The dynamic response of vertically excited rigid foundations on an elasto‐viscoplastic half‐space is investigated in the context of nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis. A deviatoric viscoplastic theory with a linear ... -
Municipal Solid‐Waste Incinerator Fly Ash for Geotechnical Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Many highly urbanized cities are faced with the problem of disposal of municipal solid waste because of the scarcity of land available for landfilling. One possible solution is the incineration of the municipal solid waste. ... -
Discussion of “<i>Durability of Geotextiles to Outdoor Exposure in Hong Kong</i>” by Edward W. Brand and P. L. Richard Pang (July, 1991, Vol. 117, No. 7)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993) -
Uplift Behavior of Pile Anchors Subjected to Lateral Cyclic Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)There are many onshore and offshore situations where the lateral cyclic loading may affect both the pullout and lateral capacity of pile anchors. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the effect of lateral cyclic ... -
Tensile Reinforcement Effects on Bridge‐Approach Settlement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)It had been reported, through observation of actual field installations, that the inclusion of tensile reinforcement in the approach fill behind bridge abutments can effectively reduce approach fill settlement, and hence ... -
Settlement Analysis of Layered Soil Systems by Stiffness Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The stiffness method originally proposed by Kausel and Roesset in 1981 for the analysis of wave propagation problems is used here to determine the deformations of horizontally layered systems subjected to static loads under ... -
Discussion of “<i>Equations for Compression Index Approximation</i>” by A. W. N. Al‐Khafaji and O. B. Andersland (January, 1992, Vol. 118, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993) -
Interaction of Axial and Lateral Pile Responses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A series of tests were carried out on instrumented model piles to investigate the effect of interaction on the axial and lateral responses of piles in clay. The effect of lateral loading proved to be significant on the ... -
Comparison of Rock Correction Methods for Compaction of Clayey Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The effect of varying percentages of large aggregate on the maximum dry density and optimum water content of clay is investigated through a series of laboratory compaction tests. Rock content (material retained on the No. ... -
Swelling Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A correlation between one‐dimensional unrestrained swell and swelling pressure is presented. The tested soils were from several projects located in Southern California. The swelling pressure tests and the unrestrained swell ... -

Settlement of Circular and Ring Plates in Very Dense Calcareous Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Plate‐loading tests were carried out on very dense calcareous sand for the construction of the new telecommunications center complex in downtown Kuwait City. The tests were conducted at the foundation level, which was ... -
Simplified Dynamic Method for Pile‐Driving Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Despite recent advances made in the wave‐equation‐based approach for pile‐driving control, at the time of writing, the dynamic formulas, such as the -
Constitutive Model for Cyclic Behavior of Clays. I: Theory
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)One of the main objectives of the present paper and its companion, part II, is to develop an integrated approach in which various factors relevant to the cyclic behavior of piles can be simulated in a unified manner. They ... -
Joint Editorial

Prediction of Plastic Localization Using MRS‐Lade Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Conditions for plastic localization, in terms of the possibility for discontinuous bifurcations of the incremental strain rate field, are given for the MRS‐Lade model. The susceptibility to bifurcation is examined along ...
