The development of strain and long instrumented postdriving grouted cylinder piles is presented.
Reference: Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, Vol 135, No 11, 2009
This paper discusses some of the problems encountered with water ingress on the 72km of tunnels on this project. Grouting is always a significant portion of dam projects and with the quantities of water expected in the tunnels, was also going to be an important ...

The subsurface conditions for a proposed six-story $94M medical facility in Knoxville, Tennessee, consisted of a thick clay layer overlying an irregular weathered limestone bedrock surface. Because the design loads were significant and because of the sinkhole ...

<p>The rock itself is a significant barrier against groundwater movement if it has low porosity and is unweathered. The existence of discontinuities in the rock mass however increases the permeability and it may vary widely. In the Himalayas, active tectonic ...
