Hello
I wonder if anyone can provide an equivalent or similar ISO for the following ASTM standards
ASTM D854 specific gravity test of soils
ASTM D7012 – unconfined compressive test of rocks
ASTM G57 – resistivity test of soil for grounding (Wenner method)
ASTM G162 – soil corrosivity...
This may be a simple solution.
Assume no moisture - rockfill materials. When rockfill is placed in a truck for weighing (assume loose), the unit weight would be unique, based on (a) gradation, (b) particle shapes, and (c) Specific gravity of rocks. For (a), the well graded the rockfill, the...
Is there a sophisticated software available in the market which can handle management flows for construction materials (such as granular and impervious fills) for a large dam project? The software should be able to provide supplies and demand from various deposit/ borrow sources, time flows...
For a large project, such as a hydroelectric development, the construction drawing will contain a project layout and control drawings, in which dimensions will be provided in true lengths, rather than in a UTM coordinates, such as NAD 83 coordinate system.
Since the topo maps are established...
Could someone remind me on the basic guide on how to assign stations numbering for roadways, dykelines, etc?
Any difference between metric and imperial system ?
Example:
A dykeline 15 km long:
Start from 0+00 and end at 15+00
or
Start from 0+000 and end at 15+000
A road 20 miles long:
How...
What size of anchor block is required for mooring a 4000 tonnes barge (gross weight) on a jetty? Is there a rule of thumb to use, i.e how big is the concrete block and how many?
Who are the prominent experts in the field of hydrogeologist? I am thinking about an expert with practical experience, but understand about the hydrogeological modeling in the context of a major dam construction. Concerns related to karstic limestone bedrock as well as potential overburden...
Most of the hydroelectrical projects, especially those with high output power utilizing large size turbines in their powerhouses, the powerhouse is usually founded on sound bedrock. This will eliminate long term foundation settlement, potential instabillity due to earthquake, liquefactions, etc...

To obtain stresses and strains in a dam foundation, as a dam is being constructed and the water is impounded afterwards, what is the most appropriate software available in the market today to carry out such a modeling analysis?
Is FLAC the software of choice for solving geomechanics problems...
I wonder if there is a table which provide some information about Modulus Subgrade Reaction (ks) for various type and quality of rocks. In particular, I am looing for ks value for a dolomitic limestone bedrock.
Is there any relationshipp between ks and Young's modulus of the rock, or between...

Soil mechanics - Morgenstern, Meyerhoff, Ralph Peck
Permafrost foundations
Foundations on soft soils - R.D Holtz
Liquefaction and seismic - Ambroesays
Geosynthetics - Giroud
marine clay/soft clay...
