Monograph

This issue contains 13 papers concerned with soil mechanics. Specific topics addressed include: design properties of horizontal drainage in soft cohesive soils; instrumented mechanically stabilized earth walls reinforced with polyester straps; pile-supported embankments; databases of deep foundation load tests; soil strength measurements and the reliability of spread footing designs; the effects of tip stiffness on piles with down drag; and modification of the Duncan-Selig soil model for plasticlike behavior. Other topics addressed include: the influence of cover soil depth on the load rating of reinforced concrete box culverts; permeability and clogging characteristics of porous asphalt and pervious concrete pavement materials; reinforced-stabilized unpaved test sections built over native soft soils; drying shrinkage cracking of untreated soils and cementitiously stabilized soils; equipment for compacting soil-cement into plastic molds; and enzyme stabilization of low-volume gravel roads.
