<p>A set of review checklists and technical guidelines has been developed to aid engineers in their review of projects containing major and unusual geotechnical features. These features may involve any earthwork or foundation related activities such as construction ...

This report presents the results of a study to assess the lessons learned from pile driving on the CA/T. This study focused on an evaluation of static and dynamic load test data and a case study of significant movement of an adjacent building during pile driving. ...

The behavior of mechanically stabilized earth walls with modular block facing and geosynthetic reinforcement was investigated with numerical models that simulate construction of the wall.

<p>The scan team identified and evaluated 30 technologies and 15 processes with the potential for accelerating construction in the areas of bridge foundation systems, equipment, and ground improvement methods embankment deep foundation systems, equipment, ...

<p>The seismic performance of bridge structures and appurtenant components (i.e., approach spans, abutments and foundations) has been well documented following recent earthquakes worldwide. This experience demonstrates that<br />bridges are highly vulnerable ...

A study was undertaken to investigate the behavior of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) masses under various loading conditions and to develop a simplified analytical model for predicting deformation characteristics of a generic GRS mass. Significant emphasis ...

<p>Design guidelines and step-by-step design procedures are presented and illustrated with three worked example design problems. Seven actual highway project case study examples are also presented. They illustrate the practical application of the design procedure ...

The purpose of Demonstration Project 103 was to introduce the concept of soil nailing use into the American transportation construction practice. The Manual for Design and Construction Monitoring of Soil Nail Walls (FHWA-SA-96-069R) and Soil Nailing Field ...

<p>This document presents state-of-the-practice information on the design and installation of cementgrouted ground anchors and anchored systems for highway applications. The anchored systems discussed include flexible anchored walls, slopes supported using ...

<p>This manual provides guidelines concerning the planning, conduct and interpretation of results of lad tests performed on driven piles and drilled shafts.</p>
