Acknowledgments
Funding for these studies was provided by PG&E, through the PG&E/PEER Center Research Program, under Contract No. Z-19-2-133, and this support is gratefully acknowledged. The writers also wish to thank M. J. Bennett and Drs. J. C. Tinsley, S. Toprak, and T. L. Holzer, all from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), for their assistance in collecting and interpreting case histories and for their valuable suggestions. Similarly, the authors are grateful to Dr. T. L. Youd both for his assistance in obtaining and evaluating case history data and for his insight and comments. The writers are also grateful to Dr. Anne Kammerer for useful discussion and checking of the new correlations proposed, as well as assistance in representing these in a tractable form for use by working engineers.
