The paper reports the measurements and analyses and indicates the method for determining the residual load, the strain - dependent modulus of the test piles and the actual load distribution in the test piles.

In this study swelling problem caused by claystone containing smectite group clay mineral in Tire Lignite Enterprise (Izmir, Turkey) was investigated and triaxial swelling behavior of the claystone was determined.

The development of strain and long instrumented postdriving grouted cylinder piles is presented.

Monitoring of tunnel deformation during their excavation is based on measurements of displacements of either single points or contraction of selected distances across the tunnel section. Such data, however, due to measurement errors and local effects may not ...

In this paper, the results of a substantial program of two dimensional and axisymmetric analyses of open pit slopes are described. Variations in the following parameters were taken into account in this programme: slope angle, slope height and horizontal to ...

Normally, the instrumentation consists of strain gages placed at selected levels to determine the load at that location for each load applied to the pile head. The gages are used to measure strain and this article provides guidelines for how to convert the ...
