  • A model study of fabric reinforced earth walls

    Creator:
    Stilley, Alan Neal
    Abstract:
    The concept of placing high strength linear reinforcements in a soil backfill to produce a vertical retaining structure is a recent idea that has been applied with success at a number of locations. Rational procedures have been developed for the design of these structures when the reinforcements consist of long...

  • Ultimate bearing capacity of shallow footings on plastic silt

    Creator:
    Newton, Vernon C.
    Abstract:
    The usual approach to calculation of the ultimate bearing capacity of plastic silt is to assume no porewater drainage occurs during the loading period. The coefficient of permeability of plastic silt is generally significantly larger than clay; therefore, partial drainage of porewater may occur during the loading period. This study...
