Journal of Soil Mechanics and Foundations

[rowingengineer]

I would request help tracking down this article:

Matlock, H., and Reese, L. C. (1960). “Generalized solutions for laterally loaded piles.”
ASCE Journal of Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division, 86(SM5), 63-91.

I have tried the ASCE website and also the document library at my local uni and British library direct. Thus far nothing.

Please do not scan this paper and post, I need to purchase this article from a copyright.

If someone can point me in the direction of an appropriate source with a way to order, it would be appreciated.

RE...Dr. Reese died last year, but his consulting firm survives. Contact Ensoft in Austin, Texas (

http://www.ensoftinc.com/)

. They likely have copies of his papers. If not, the University of Texas at Austin, Department of Civil Engineering, will probably have a copy.

Good luck.

Thanks Ron, thought you would know.

Another resource - older geotechnical firms like Shannon and Wilson, Golders, Law Engineering (or whoever really took thme over) might actually have the journals that you can borrow. I would be surprised if Cornell or MIT didn't have the journal. Although I haven't heard from him for a long time, Focht3 would probably have it as well (San Antonio).

BigH/RE...when I was at Law Engineering, our local branch had an excellent library, particularly for Geotechnical stuff. I'll check and see if they have that particular jounal. I know they have copies back into the 1960's, but I don't know about that far back. The local branch office opened in 1958. It is now Mactec Consulting and Engineering.

thanks for the offer Ron but your first post has come up trumps.
