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,...

Design Concepts for Floating Breakwaters
This paper describes a fundamental approach to the design of a floating breakwater based on the concepts of dynamic analysis of floating bodies. The process results in a relatively simple...

Recent Advances in Structural Dynamics
The four papers in this book emphasize the design, testing, and analysis of large structures. The topics covered include base isolation in the design and construction of power plant structures,...

Dynamic Response of Structures
The primary goal of the third specialty conference on the dynamics of structures was to provide a forum for dialogue between engineers conducting experimental tests and those developing...

Building Motion in Wind
The trend towards higher structural efficiency and hence lower cost has resulted in a generation of lighter and more flexible buildings with a lower inherent capacity for energy dissipation...

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...

Terzaghi Lectures
1974-1982
Sponsored by the Executive Committee of the Geotechnical Engineering Division of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains eight lectures...

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...

Effect of Cementation on the Cone Penetration Resistance of Sand
A laboratory study was conducted to investigate the effect of cementation on the cone penetration resistance of sand. A new apparatus to form homogeneous artificially cemented sand specimens...

The Mudslide Profile Method to Measure the Undrained Shear Strength of Muds
Mudslides have been reported to have a very distinctive profile. Using this distinctive profile, a method is presented to analyze the stability of the mudslide at limit equilibrium conditions....
