This case history describes the foundation design and construction for the New Mississippi River Bridge, presently under construction in St. Louis, Missouri. The 1,500 ft (457.2 m) main span of the cable-stayed bridge is supported by two delta tower pylons ...

The design-build delivery system is being used to erect the landmark Christopher Bond Bridge as part of the kcICON project. The cable-stayed bridge is currently under construction and will span the Missouri River on I-29/35 in Kansas City, Missouri. The design-build ...

The location of a decline shaft portal can have far reaching implications if the geotechnical conditions are not suited for safe and cost effective excavation. Ideally the portal should be positioned in an area where the excavation requires minimal support ...

<p>Landslides are one of the most damaging earthquake geohazard phenomena that have created considerable socio-economic losses in the past. Therefore, it is important to find out where and in what shaking conditions landslide can occur. This paper assesses ...

A case history of repeated dynamic and static loading tests in Alberta on two pipe piles during dissipation of driving-induced pore pressures is presented together with three reanalyzed published case histories involving similar records.

<p>Poor geological conditions are often encountered during underground construction in urban areas. Additionally, buildings, underground infrastructures and other facilities are more densely situated along or under the streets of a city or town. Changes to ...

The real time monitoring for the Olive 8 project in Seattle is described. This paper summarizes the philosophy behind the real-time instrumentation and shows how the total station data complemented the conventional inclinometer data

<p>This paper describes case studies of building developments around tunnels. The case studies highlight a number of fundamental issues that have to be addressed when assesing the potential interaction between building construction around existing tunnels.</p ...

<p>Tapered driven piles have been the deep foundation of choice ever since construction of and at the well-known John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFKIA) in New York City began in the late 1940s. Timber piles were used primarily for many decades but various ...

<p>The use of lightweight-fill materials for highway construction increased significantly worldwide during the 1990s. Predominant with this trend was the increased use of cellular geosynthetics (geofoams and geocombs), especially block-molded expanded polystyrene ...
