Soil-Structure Interaction in Seismic Environments
Soil-structure interaction depends on the mass, stiffness and the damping of the structure as well as on the geometry and embedment of the foundation and on the properties of the soil....

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,...

Tiebacks for Bulkheads
Tiebacks were once used primarily to support temporary structures such as supported excavations. However, the use of tiebacks has been gradually expanded to include the support of permanent...

Forensic Engineering
Learning from Failures
The activities and qualifications of the Forensic Engineer are summarized in the nine papers published in this book. Procedures for failure investigation are discussed along with failure...

Effects of Deterioration on Safety and Reliability of Structures
Deterioration of structural and non-structural elements in commercial, industrial and residential constructions is of general concern to investors, design engineers, architects, contractors...

Landslide Dams
Processes, Risk, and Mitigation
Landslide dams have proved to be both interesting natural phenomena and significant hazards in many areas of the world. A few of these blockages attain heights and volumes that rival or...

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...

Settlement of Shallow Foundations on Cohesionless Soils
Design and Performance
The main objectives of this book are to present some of the available techniques for estimating the settlement of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils, and to compare predicted and...

Tallying Water Resources Goals
Federal water resources planning philosophy has undergone a lengthy evolution with a number of refinements in the past decade to encompass environmental laws and the political philosophy...

CAD Goes into Analysis
In the past, computer analysis of a design was always a separate and distinct step from CAD. Now, an increasing number of systems are combining the two. One system, SSCAD, allows the engineer...

Structural Analysis by Spreadsheet
This is an introduction to and description of use of a spreadsheet to analyze a two-way slab on a microcomputer. The spreadsheet used is Lotus 1-2-3, but the ideas generally apply to many...

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

Use of In Situ Tests for Foundation Design on Clay
Years of evaluated experience with the field vane test in soft clays have resulted in empirical correction factors well suited for design practice. An extension of L. Bjerrum's...

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...

Seismic Cone Penetration Test
A new test, called the seismic cone penetration test (SCPT) is described. A small rugged velocity seismometer has been incorporated into an electronic cone penetrometer. The combination...

In Situ Testing for Lock and Dam 26 Cellular Cofferdam
The in situ testing consisted of split spoon and cone penetration tests, Menard and self-boring pressuremeter tests, and Marchetti dilatometer tests. The testing program proved to be challenging...

Pressuremeter Correlations for Preconsolidated Clay
Conventional triaxial compression and consolidation tests are often utilized to obtain parameters for design of foundations. More recently, Menard pressuremeter test results have been...

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...

Reliability of Pile Capacity Assessment by CPT in Overconsolidated Clay
Correlations for unit skin friction and end bearing are established between cone penetration test (CPT) records, triaxial data and a small data base of measured skin friction and end bearing...

Permeability, and the Field Pumping Test
Methods of estimating in situ permeability of soils are discussed including laboratory tests, borehole tests and field pumping tests, with emphasis on the latter. Techniques for designing...
