Assessing Effects for Disposal Sites off San Francisco
A simple particle tracking model has been used to estimate the size of deposition footprints and transient turbidity effects in the water column resulting from disposal of dredged material...
Testing of Hollow Clay Tile Masonry Prisms
This paper presents test results of 610-mm wide (24-in.) by 1219-mm high (48-in) by 203- or 330-mm (8- or 13-in.) thick prisms constructed of hollow clay tiles. Three prisms were extracted...
Collapse Mechanism of Compacted Clayey and Silty Sands
The mechanism of wetting-induced collapse (hydrocompression) and the influence of fines ratios on compacted sandy soils are investigated. Various ratios of clay and silt are mixed with...
Tree Root Induced Settlement of a Large Industrial Building Founded on Expansive Clay–A Case History
Trees planted adjacent to buildings have been known to cause significant structural distress. In this paper, a case study is presented where a large tilt-up concrete industrial building...
Strip Foundation on Geogrid-Reinforced Clay
Laboratory model test results for the ultimate bearing capacity and allowable bearing capacity at various settlement levels conducted on a strip foundation supported by geogrid-reinforced...
The Behavior of a Building with Shallow Foundations on a Stiff Lateritic Clay
The use of shallow foundations for buildings in Sao Paulo, either on soils of the Tertiary Sedimentary Basin of Sao Paulo (TSBSP) or on those of saprolitic origin is not as frequent as...
Performance of Wick Drains Installed by Vibration
Settlement and piezometer data from construction of fills on Route I-291 in South Windsor, CT is analyzed for total settlement and coefficient of consolidation. The results are compared...
Compressibility of Clays: Fundamental and Practical Aspects
The compressibility of natural clays is influenced by strain rate, temperature, sampling disturbance, stress path and some restructuration factors. The first part of the paper reviews...
Displacement of Batter Piles in Layered Soil
The displacements of flexible vertical and batter model piles under eccentric and inclined loads in layered soil of clay overlying sand is studied. Horizontal and vertical displacements...
Fast Foundation for Soft Clay
This article describes the detailed foundation work and high-capacity piling design for a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) retrofit system for the Lambton Generation Station in Ontario,...
Out-of-plane and In-plane Testing of URM Infills
This paper summarizes the out-of-plane followed by in-plane quasi-static testing of two, full-scale Unreinforced Masonry (URM) Hollow Clay Tile (HCT) infills. The testing is part of a...
Remedial Design and Construction to Improve a Sliding Embankment
The paper describes the studies made to identify the nature of possible remedial measures such as improved drainage, removal of the weak clay layer or a provision of a buttressed dam....
Environments Parameters of Sediments and the Interface Sediment-Water in the Tacarigua Lagoon (Venezuela)
A study was made of the sedimentological characteristics of a lagoon bottom, and of the anions present at the sediment-water interface. For this analysis, the lagoon was divided into five...
