Closure to “<i>Static Instability and Liquefaction of Loose Fine Sandy Slopes</i>” by Poul V. Lade (January, 1992, Vol. 118, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993) -
Piled Rafts in Swelling or Consolidating Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)An analysis based on a simplified form of the boundary element method is used to analyze the interaction between a piled raft and a soil subjected to consolidation or expansive movements. The analysis allows for such factors ... -

Progressive Failure of Lower San Fernando Dam
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Postearthquake deformation analyses of the lower San Fernando dam were conducted using an incremental finite‐element method. In the analyses, an undrained elastoplastic model was used to simulate the collapse of liquefied ... -
Reinforcement of Soils by Multioriented Geosynthetic Inclusions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A new method for reinforcing soils has been developed that involves the incorporation of multioriented geosynthetic inclusions within or upon a compacted or naturally deposited soil. The results of an extensive laboratory ... -
Hydraulic Conductivity of Compacted Clay Frozen and Thawed In Situ
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A large specimen of compacted clay (diameter = 298 mm; thickness = 914 mm) was subjected to freeze‐thaw in the field for 60 days. Afterward, the hydraulic conductivity was measured. The hydraulic conductivity of the entire ... -
Prediction of Bedding Intrusion into Low‐Strength Subgrades
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Proper selection of bedding material before construction can prevent loss of money and time due to change orders and sometimes obviate the need for the common remedial practice of overexcavation and replacement with costly ... -
Voids and Granulometry: Effects on Shear Modulus of Unsaturated Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)This paper describes the results of an experimental investigation of capillary effects on the low strain shear modulus of sands in a partially saturated condition. It studies: (1) Void ratio; (2) confining pressure; (3) ... -
Beam‐Column‐Analogy Model for Soil‐Structure Interaction Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A mathematical model for a combined soil subgrade plus structurallement in contact with the subgrade (e.g., a mat foundation) is presented. The structural portion of the model is a conventional flexural element. The subgrade ... -
Effect of Permeability on Surficial Stability of Homogeneous Slopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)In Southern California the conventional method for evaluating surficial stability has a bias towards cohesion. It suggests that surficial failures are more likely in slopes made of sandy and gravelly soils, than those ... -
Estimation of Uplift Capacity of Helical Anchors in Clays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Currently, helical anchors are being extensively used in the construction of transmission tower foundations, pipelines, and braced excavations. To arrive at the uplift capacity of these anchors, it is necessary to assume ... -
Discussion of “<i>Moduli and Damping Factors of Soft Marine Clays</i>” by Takaaki Kagawa (September, 1992, Vol. 118, No. 9)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993) -
Closure to “<i>Backfill‐Stiffened Foundation Wall Design</i>” by Robert Nicholls (November, 1992, Vol. 118, No. 11)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993) -
Design Charts for Double‐Walled Cofferdams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The problems of steady seepage into long double‐walled cofferdams in a pervious stratum of finite depth were presented by King and Cockroft in 1972 for the cases of no excavation and full excavation inside the cofferdam. ... -
Human Factors in Civil and Geotechnical Engineering Failures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Despite modern advances in technology, civil engineering failures continue to occur. Most investigations identify the technical causes and financial liability. This paper looks at where and why the engineering process ...
