Does anyone know of any work in connection with wind causing vibration that led to piles settling through loose to medium dense silty sands?
We have just withstood a storm that has led to some settlement damage on a house on a very exposed coast. The house was designed in accordance with the...
Hi,
We are about to try to design a retaining wall for a 15+m height of weathered volcanic ash above a 'soft' sandstone. Does anyone know of any simple way to calculate the embedment depth required to achive a cantilever action? All we have is a dynamic probe blow count on the sandstone at the...
Previously I have been given a correlation of SPT "N" = (Sum of DCP blowcount over 300mm[1foot])/1.5.
Has this been updated?
Also has anyone seen a realistic correlation from SPT "N" to shear strength?

Does anyone have a cost for blasting of hard rock in small quantities (say up to 1000m3) as oposed to rock breaking. I need some comparative costs only, so costs from different parts of the world will be great
Thanks

Does anyone have a correlation between CBR and the Mexe-Probe or from Newtons to CBR? We have a SACP (Mexe-Probe) from CNS Farnell that has been calibrated but the calibration only gives us CBR vs Newtons.
Can anyone help?
