I am uncertain about how to construct the "resistance curve" in Fellenius's method for determining the location of a the neutral plane for piles subjected to downdrag (see attached).
At point A, the value is Rt + Sum of RS from A to B. At point B, the value is Rt. How do you draw the curve...
Has anyone come up with "creative" storage solutions for a nuclear density gauge?
My company is planning on purchasing a density gauge, but I can not figure out were to store it. My office is located on the main street of a small town. In general, there are Business on the first floor on...
Does anyone know of a slope stability method that incorporate the lateral loads on a caisson embedded in a slope? The loads would be acting towards the slope.
I have a sound barrier located on a 16ft embankment that will be supported on caissons. I’ve run a Com624P analysis (using the slope...
I need to analyze a reinforced concrete caisson that will support a sound barrier wall that is subjected to wind loads. The caisson is to be 3.0 ft in diameter; the top of caisson is located 1.5 ft below ground surface; and the caisson length is 12.5 ft. I’ve attached a sketch showing the...
I am evaluating the external stability of a MSE wall. There is a noise wall, mounted on a crash (jersey) barrier with moment slab, that sits on the top of the wall.
The applicable design standard states: “Barriers, constructed over or in line with the front face of the panel shall be...
For help in preparing the scope of work for a geotechnical investigation, I’m looking for some thoughts on how to evaluate the differential settlement across the footprint of a circular concrete water tank.
From the request for proposal: The proposed tank is 400-feet in diameter and contains...
