The present study proposes a method for predicting stresses in pavements under vehicular loadings. The proposed method characterizes each pavement layer by a coefficient of lateral stress, which is similar to the commonly used coefficient of lateral

The movement of groundwater is a basic part of soil mechanics. It is an important part of almost every area of civil engineering, agronomy, geology, irrigation, and reclamation. Moreover, the logical structure of its theory appeals to engineering sci

Foundation Engineering in the Face of Uncertainty.
Probability is not a means of accommodating ignorance. Rather, it is the rational language of the uncertainty of nature. As examples, this paper demonstrates how the standard deterministic (Boussinesq) formulation for the bearing capacity of footings

A method has been developed that provides a simple but powerful procedure to approximate joint probability density functions of many correlated and skewed random variables. It is assumed that the only available information is the set of expected valu

The ways in which engineering systems fail (i.e., their occurence and frequency) demonstrate considerable differences between hypothetical models assumed for design and actual performance. All materials contain imperfections. All systems are subject

Rapid nondestructive evaluation of pavements is needed to help maintain highways and airport runways. A review of current techniques for measuring pavement profile, texture, and deflection under load is conducted. Rapid evaluation of these parameters

A mathematical model has been developed to simulate the movement of patients from their residences to hospitals in the State of Indiana. The basic idea is that the behavior of patients in selecting a hospital can be treated as a random walk process.

Constitutive relations for soil are proposed which give rise to a diffusion like equation for the normal stress component. This partial differential equation includes both particulate media theory and the classical linear theory of elasticity, in the

In the present work one-dimensional consolidation is treated as a phenomenon of diffusion and the governing physical equation is derived using probabilistic considerations. The similarity between diffusion of solids in a field of water and that of a
