Settlement and Deformation Response of a Bridge Footing on a Sloped Fill
The problem of settlement of spread footings located within or near granular slopes has been investigated in the laboratory using a large testing facility. Based on these results, footings...

Modeling Settlements of an Existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Sideslope Using an Earthen Surcharge Pile
This paper discusses the results of a large-scale field compressibility test completed on municipal solid waste (MSW). The test consisted of surcharging the waste mass with an earthen...

Settlement Measurements of 50-ft High Embankments at the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Bridge
This is a case history of instrumented settlement measurements on 49 to 56' (15-17 m) high bridge approach embankments of Delaware State Route 1 crossing of the Chesapeake & Delaware...

A Comparison of Three Soil Improvement Techniques to Densify Liquefaction Susceptible Sands
Deep soil densification programs using vibratory probe compaction, vibro-replacement and terraprobe methods have been completed on a naval submarine base to limit potential settlements...

Field Test of Thermal Precompression
A new concept for improvement of soft ground using moderate heating to control post-construction settlement is presented. The long-term creep behavior of a peat is presented based on laboratory...

Settlement of Footings on Granular Materials: Low and Large Strain Parameters
Many methods have been proposed to predict the settlement of shallow foundations on granular soils. The analysis of more than 200 case histories shows that there is no correlation between...

Application of the Diflupress L.D. Field Test to Settlement Calculation
Electricite de France developed a new in situ measurement apparatus (Diflupress L.D.) in order to predict the delayed settlements that can appear under heavy constructions. From the experimental...

Numerical Modeling of Bridge Approach Settlement with Foundation-Embankment Interaction
Bridge approach settlement is one of the major problems facing the transportation agencies responsible for road construction and maintenance in the United States and in many other countries...

Consolidation Characteristics of an Offshore Clay Deposit
This paper summarizes the results from a comprehensive laboratory and in situ investigation of an offshore clay deposit in the northeastern coast of Brazil. Laboratory permeability data...

The Role of Shale Pores in Settlement
Waste fills resulting from the mining of coal in Appalachia should ideally consist of large, free-draining sedimentary rock fragments. The successful performance of these embankments is...

Case History of a Collapsible Soil Fill
Collapse settlement of a deep compacted fill led to damage of a group of condominium units. The fill consisted of a highly heterogeneous mixture of coarse- to fine-grained soil containing...

Settlement of Dynamically Compacted Deposits
This paper compares predicted and measured settlements of deposits that were densified by means of dynamic compaction. Settlement records are presented for sites consisting of old, midage,...

Experimental Study of the Settlement of Shallow Foundations
This article describes the main results obtained experimentally by the French Bridge and Road Research Laboratories on the settlement of shallow foundations under centered vertical loads....

Tolerable Deformations
Current criteria for tolerable movements of buildings, bridges and other structures are reviewed. Tolerable values of total and differential settlement, relative rotation, relative deflection...

Settlement Analysis for 450 Meter Tall KLCC Towers
The site evaluation and settlement analysis performed for the two tallest buildings in the world currently under construction, are described. The site evaluation resulted in shifting building...

Load Settlement curve Method for Spread Footings of Sand
A newly developed method is presented to predict the complete load settlement curve for square spread footings on sand loaded at their center with a vertical load and with an embedment...

Test and Prediction Results for Five Spread Footings on Sand
A separate volume summarizes this prediction symposium. It is available from ASCE in New York and is entitled as listed above. This prediction event took place during the conference and...

Evaluating Activated Sludge Secondary Clarifier Performance: A Protocol
To establish a consistent methodology for evaluating secondary clarifier performance, the ASCE Clarifier Research Technical Committee prepared procedural guidelines in the form of a draft...

Assessing the Reliability of Low Pressure Membrane Systems for Microbial Removal
Low pressure membrane systems are used for microorganisms control in water treatment processes. In this article, the efficiency and reliability of this process is evaluated. Microorganism...

Computation of a flood event using a two dimensional finite element model and its comparison to field data
This paper reports on an attempt to begin a rigorous field testing programme for two dimensional finite element flow models, examining the impacts of mesh resolution and numerical method...
