Soil Mechanics 2011

This issue contains 13 papers on the subject of soil mechanics. Specific topics discussed include the following: acceptance of geomaterials; water jetting to mitigate defects in drilled shafts; pile load test and implementation of load and resistance factor design specifications; lateral resistance of short rock sockets in weak rock; field testing of a batter pile group foundation; culvert load reduction using an imperfect ditch backfilled with geofoam; pavement performance affected by groundwater seepage; geosynthetic-reinforced soil abutments on soft soil; sulfate-induced heaving in lime-treated soils; influence of mineralogy and plasticity index on expansive clay stabilization; cement-treated reclaimed pavement with a chip seal; cement-treated base materials with a high content of reclaimed asphalt pavement; and estimating embankment settlement.
