<p>This document presents information on the analysis, design, and construction of permanent soil nail walls in highway applications. The main objective is to provide practitioners in this field with sound and simple methods and guidelines that will allow ...

Proposed Specifications for LRFD Soil-Nailing Design and Construction contains proposed specifications for the design and construction of soil-nailed retaining structures.

This report includes the proposed design provisions and an example of the determination of the design loads on a sound barrier using the proposed specifications. The proposed specifications included in this report has been prepared assuming that the design ...

This manual embraces both construction and design of drilled shafts, and addresses the following topics: applications of drilled shafts for transportation structure foundations general requirements for subsurface investigations construction means and methods ...

<p>For many years, engineers have designed foundations, walls and culverts for highway and other geotechnical applications using allowable stress design (ASD) methods. In ASD, all uncertainties in the load and resistance are combined into a global factor of ...

This report explores recommended changes to Section 10 of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Load Resistance Factor Design Bridge Design Specifications for the strength limit state design of shallow foundations.

<p>Load and resistance factor design (LRFD) (often called limit states design (LSD)) has been mandated in the AASHTO Bridge Design Specifications and will be adopted in future editions of Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code for all transportation-related structures ...

<p>The primary goal of this report was to develop Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methods for slopes and retaining structures. Even though there is past research on LRFD of shallow foundations and piles, there are very few publications available on ...

Significant research has been performed in recent years to develop load and resistance factor design (LRFD) methods for geotechnical applications. However, one lacking aspect of this work is application to design of earth slopes, including consideration of ...

Geotechnical engineering analyses and designs for transportation structures have traditionally been based on Allowable Stress Design (ASD), also known as Working Stress Design (WSD). Transportation structures that require geotechnical engineering are bridge ...
