<p>In normal design practice one method is chosen from the many available and applied to a site. In this paper two case histories are examined, where there is sufficient information to investigate and compare different design methods, including different methods ...

<p>This present study is therefore aimed at investigating the level of some metals in selected bore-hole within Aliero Community.</p>

<p>The horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio has become increasingly popular in studies of site effect and determination of the predominant period of a site. In this study, this method is extended to identify nonlinear soil responses. To establish this phenomenon, ...

This paper shows the results of borehole ovalisation analysis, developed to predict the natural stress field by means of the study of the deformation in vertical boreholes.

<p>Soil slope instability concerning highway infrastructure is an ongoing problem in Iowa, as slope failures endanger public safety and continue to result in costly repair work. Characterization of slope failures is complicated, because the factors affecting ...

The method using the propagation of acoustic body waves within the stress modified areas around a vertical borehole has been applied to the granitic formation penetrated by the SAFOD Pilot hole near the San Andreas Fault trace. This method allows to investigate ...

The backfill for a borehole instrument is often an item that receives a disproportionate lack of attention. The behavior of the backfill, the material that is in the most intimate contact with both the formation and the instrument, is critical for obtaining ...

In many instances geotechnical training and the generation of geotechnical logging procedures is undertaken using a generic application of accepted rockmass classification systems. These logging procedures regularly neglect to take into account the site specific ...
