Seismic Bearing Capacity and Settlements of Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Field and laboratory observations of seismic settlements of shallow foundations on granular soils that are not attributable to changes in density or liquefaction are explained in terms of seismic degradation of bearing ... -
Constitutive Model for Cyclic Behavior of Clays. II: Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Development and validation of the hierarchical single surface -
Axial Response of Tapered Piles in Cohesive Frictional Ground
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)This paper presents a theoretical model for the analysis of the axial response of tapered piles in cohesive frictional ground. The operating characteristics of tapered cylindrical piles are identified on the basis of ... -
Liquefaction Sand Boils in San Francisco during 1989 loma prieta earthquake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)This paper presents and analyzes the observations of the sand boils that emerged in the Marina District of San Francisco after the Loma Prieta Earthquake of October 17, 1989. The sand boils were located within the boundary ... -
Plate‐Load Tests of Collapsible Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Plate‐load tests are considered the most reliable and informative source of soil‐deformation properties required for a successful foundation design. Plate‐load test results are influenced by many factors: plate or experimental ... -
Behavior of Large Bored Piles in Fuzhou
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Large bored piles are popularly used in south‐east coast of China. Pile foundation design is based largely on empirical method. However, the behavior of these piles is not well understood. Generally, end bearing capacity ... -
Leak Detection from Large Storage Tanks Using Seismic Boundary Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)This research investigates and develops the seismic boundary wave concept for leak detection in large soil‐supported storage tanks. Mathematical models are developed for the propagation of seismic boundary waves (i.e., ... -
Numerical Evaluation of Terzaghi's Nγ
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The major difficulty in obtaining Terzaghi's bearing capacity factor -
Force‐Displacement Behavior of Flexible Plate Anchors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Current methods for designing spread (plate) anchors do not take the plate flexibility into account. In this paper, an experimental and theoretical investigation of the influence of plate flexibility on the force‐displacement ... -
Probabilistic Assessment of Pile Interference
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Hydraulic structures such as navigation locks and dams are commonly founded on large groups of long, closely spaced driven piles. When piles are driven, there are deviations between the theoretical ground locations and the ... -
Laboratory and Field Leaching Tests on Coastal Salt‐Bearing Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Laboratory and field leaching tests were carried out on a gypsiferous sandy silt to determine the effect of soluble salt leaching on the geotechnical properties of this soil known locally as Sabkha. Field tests included ... -

Significant Parameters in Elastoplastic Analysis of Underground Openings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)In this paper we show how it is possible to reduce the number of significant parameters appearing in typical rock mechanics boundary value problems of rock engineering and tunneling. Further, we present methods to gain ... -
Stability of Motions of Translational Landslides
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)This paper considers the stability of motions of translational landslides in which the frictional resistance has been assumed to depend on the velocity of sliding. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests many ... -
Performance of Deep‐Corrugated Steel Box‐Type Culvert
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A comprehensive investigation of the performance of a deep‐corrugated steel box‐type culvert is described. The design of this culvert is unique in that a 140‐mm‐deep corrugated cross section is employed without the use of ... -
Probability Distributions for Hydraulic Conductivity of Compacted Soil Liners
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)This paper describes an analysis of hydraulic conductivity data collected from 57 landfill liners and covers throughout North America. Statistical characteristics of the data are summarized, and goodness‐of‐fit analyses ... -
Vertical Earth Loads on Buried Engineered Works
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The theory of vertical earth loads on buried engineered works is extended with a closed‐form solution to include ditch geometries with backslopes and wide ditch bottoms, as well as works buried under fills. A variable ... -
New Perspectives on Soil Creep
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Soil exhibit viscous creep behavior, and the creep strain rate is known to change greatly with time. Various possible reasons for the changing creep rate are considered. The writers propose a mechanism for interparticle ... -
