Discussion of “<i>Backfill‐Stiffened Foundation Wall Design</i>” by Robert Nicholls (November, 1992, Vol. 118, No. 11)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993) -
Site Exploration Strategy for Geologic Anomaly Characterization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A geologic anomaly is any inclusion that is of a different material type or has different physical properties from that included or normally expected in a design profile. The performance of a geotechnical system could be ... -
Closure to “<i>Analysis of Laterally Loaded Shafts in Rock</i>” by John P. Carter and Fred H. Kulhawy (June, 1992, Vol. 118, No. 6)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993) -
Compacted Clay Liners and Covers for Arid Sites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Tests were performed on a clayey soil from a site in Texas to define ranges of water content and dry unit weight at which compacted test specimens would have: (1) Low hydraulic conductivity; (2) minimal potential for ... -

Slope Failure Analysis Using Local Minimum Factor‐of‐Safety Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)An approach using the minimum factors of safety against local failures is presented. The state of the effective stresses in a slope is calculated by the finite element method with the Drucker‐Prager nonlinear stress‐strain ... -

Tensile and Compressive Shaft Capacity of Piles in Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)In most soil types, it is generally assumed that the shaft capacity of a pile is identical under both tensile and compressive loading. However, there is widespread experimental evidence that in sand the shaft capacity is ... -
Cone Penetration in Cemented Sands: Bearing Capacity Interpretation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Two bearing‐capacity theories are used to predict cone‐penetration tip resistance and sleeve friction in weakly cemented sands. These theories use the rigid‐plastic assumption for stress‐deformation behavior of soils. Both ... -

Frost Heave Induced Mechanics of Buried Pipelines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)This paper examines the problem of the flexural interaction between a long‐distance buried pipeline embedded in a soil medium that experiences differential frost heave. The modeling takes into consideration the interaction ... -
Methods of Interpreting Structural Incompatibility in Bored Pier Uplift Test
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)This paper presents two methods of analysis of data obtained from an uplift loading test on an instrumented bored pier reinforced only by a central steel angle to which the uplift load was applied. The objective of the ... -
Numerical Analysis of Drained Direct and Simple Shear Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Drained direct and simple shear tests are analyzed assuming an isotropic elastoplastic constitutive law and plane strain conditions. The stress and strain distributions within the sample are examined. The numerical analyses ... -
Rational Polynomial Technique in lope‐Reliability Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)This paper is concerned with the application of a numerical technique, known as the rational polynomial approximation, to the first‐order second‐moment method for calculating statistical moments of a performance function ... -
Stability Criteria for Marine Clay under One‐Way Cyclic Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Results are presented from a series of one‐way cyclic undrained triaxial tests on Ariake clay, a highly plastic, normally consolidated marine clay from Kyushu in southwest Japan. Considering first pore water pressures ...
