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 ...

The paper describes the design of pile foundation on the site of the Elektrenai power plant, Lithuania. The foundation is aimed to support equipment of the power plant consisting of the gas turbine, the steam turbine and the generator. Besides high loads, ...

The load test program for the Audubon Bridge project provides a comparison of the performance of base grouted and ungrouted shafts on large diameter foundations in sand. Comparison of several field load tests at the two pylon foundations indicate that the ...

<p>The Foundation Manual is intended to provide the field engineer with information that may be of some assistance in solving foundation problems and in making engineering decisions.</p> <p><br />Although the field engineer is required to make engineering ...

<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 ...

Lateral load tests were performed on a full-scale pile cap in clay before and after construction of shallow soilcrete walls produced by soil mixing and jet grouting on either side of the pile cap. This relatively simple approach increased the lateral resistance ...

Record load test on piles.

This paper presents a discussion of the management of the risk elements associated with the design and construction of deep foundations, along with some strategies that have been employed to help mitigate these risks. The effective management of risks with ...

Since its introduction in 1973, the Davisson Offset Limit has been widely used in the United States for interpretation of axial compressive load tests on pile foundations and is one of three methods explicitly accepted by the 2006 International Building Code. ...

<p>Taking a 24.09-m-deep foundation pit of Shanghai Metro Line 1 which uses the semi-reverse construction process of &ldquo;three open excavating-one tunneling&rdquo; as an example, through gathering and analyzing field monitoring data and making use of forward ...
