Can anyone tell me how to convert vertical bearing capacity into horizontal bearing capacity? Or, if the vertical cannot be converted to horizontal, how do you calculate the horzontal bearing capacity? Any references would be most helpful.
We are designing a pipeline that will be anchored at...
Hello,
We're interested in purchacing software that will aid in the design of a soldier pile wall with tiebacks. Can anyone out there recommend a software we can use to aid us in our design? What are it's pluses and minuses? Ideally we would like something that can handle stratified soil...
Can anyone recommend good reference material for the design of augercast pile walls with tiebacks? I need to familiarize myself with the process and what's involved.
Thank you in advance.
Hello,
Could someone give me some insite about different methods of determining field compaction of building/pipeline subgrades. I know of the nuclear desometer but have also heard that it is not very accurate with crushed rock. Is there anything out there that can quantitatively determine...
Can anyone out there give me insite on current testing methods for calculating the In-situ unit weight of soils? We are constructing a gravity sewer and would like to calculate the specific gravity of the material we are excavating, so we can backfill with a similar weight material. Any help...
Could someone tell me more about the pocket pentrometer? Is it reliable for estimating approximate soil bearing capacities?
I've also been reading about ASTM D 1194-94 Standard Test Method for Bearing Capacity of Soil for Static Load adn Spread Footings. Has anyone out there ever performed...
