Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Masonry Walls and Beams
Many reinforced masonry walls and beams were tested as a part of the U. S. -Japan cooperative research program on masonry building structures. Six concrete block and two clay brick masonry...

Stress-Strain Behavior of Grouted Hollow Unit Masonry
Experimental results from axial stress-strain tests including post-peak response on hollow unit masonry prisms are compared to those of previous researchers....

Problems of Spectral Analysis in Dispersion Tests
The use of dispersive surface waves and spectral analysis methods is new to the nondestructive testing of airfield pavements. Such tests are to determine whether mechanical properties...

Soil-Structure Interaction on Structural Dynamics
The dynamic analysis of structures under the effect of soil-structure interaction and the effect of member axial force is based on the continuous mass matrix method, in which the equations...

Soil-Structure Interaction at the Waterfront
In 1981 the Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory (NCEL) undertook a review of available material models. Comparison was made between test data and model predictions. Based on this study,...

On Analysis of Dynamic Structure/Media Interaction
A version of the Global-Local Finite Element Method (GLFEM) is applied to the analysis of soil-structure interaction under steady-state excitation. The soil medium is considered to be...

The Atlantic Palace?Part II The Application of Wind Tunnel/Force Balance Techniques
A relatively new approach for determining overall wind-induced loads on a structure is described. This force balance technique is economical and flexible, and able to provide predictions...

Pavement Design for a Break Bulk Terminal Yard
This paper discusses the practical application of mechanistic pavement design principles for a proposed 8. 1 ha break bulk cargo storage yard that is part of the Port of Portland's...

Research on the Strength Characteristics of Timber Piling
Research on the strength characteristics of wet Southern Pine and Douglas Fir piling and poles is presented. Included are background information on wood's strength characteristics,...

Geotechnical Aspects of Stiff and Hard Clays
This publication contains articles that deal with field and laboratory measurements of engineering properties of stiff (overconsolidated) clays, and comparisons of predicted and measured...

Deformation Characteristics of Cohesionless Soils from In Situ Tests
This paper is a summary of seven years experience gained by the National Electricity Board of Italy (ENEL), ISMES and Technological University of Turin in assessing these parameters using...

Ground Improvement Evaluation by In-Situ Tests
The application of in-situ testing to the design and evaluation of a large sand densification project for the Jebba Hydroelectric Development is described. Correlation between the standard...

Electrical In Situ Measurements for Predicting Behavior of Soils
A new method is presented for predicting the in situ stress-strain behavior of fine grained soils based upon in situ measurements of its electrical properties. The method involves the...

Residual Soil Settlement From Pressuremeter Moduli
The Menard pressuremeter test is briefly described, and practical drilling techniques are summarized for Piedmont residual soils. Applications and limitations of the pressuremeter are...

Liquefaction Study of Coal Refuse by Nuclear Gauges
This paper presents a technique for utilizing nuclear gauges to determine density and moisture content continuously throughout refuse embankments and slurry reservoirs. The nuclear measurements...

Landslide Investigation Utilizing Electric Cone Penetration Testing
A geotechnical investigation was conducted of landsliding at a hillside residential property to evaluate both the extent of the landslide and the stability of the fill materials as well...

Dilatometer Tests in Sand
The paper presents two applications of the dilatometer test in sands: control of compaction and determination of constrained modulus. Twelve dilatometer tests were carried out before and...

Laboratory and Field Evaluation of Cone Penetrometers
Cone penetrometers from 8 organizations have been studied by performing laboratory tests and field tests. The testing show that pore pressure and temperature zero shift affect significantly...

In Situ Tests with K_o Stepped Blade
The results of field tests conducted using the K//o Stepped Blade to determine lateral stresses and other geotechnical properties are presented. The sites tested represent a wide range...

Site Characterization Using the Cone Penetrometer Test
The Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT) when used in conjunction with a limited soil boring program can provide a more detailed and economical site characterization. This paper addresses how...
