Hello,
I've struggle with this for a long time.
What i want to do is scan a classic plot from a text book (which contains hundreds of data points and line boundaries) then plot my data over top of it. This way is can see exactly where my data points fall with respect to the original...
I've been an Excel user for the last 10 years or so and I am just getting into recording macros and now i want to begin to understand visual basic. Just wondering what is considered the best introduction to visual basic.
Hello,
When adding portland cement to a silty or sandy material, what is the effect on the shear strength. Obviously, the cohesion will increase, similar to a naturally cemented deposit but what happens to phi ?
Does addding portland cement to soil only increse the cohesion and the...
Hello,
Does anybody have any information or technical references for usage of deep soil mixing to stabilize a landslide ?
We initially proposed to use tiebacks to provide an acceptable factor of safety but other have proposed creating a series of 5 foot diameter soil-cement columns through the...
I remember their being "another" method to determine the preconsolidaton pressure, other than Casagrande's emprical construction method. Either this method is commonly used in Brazil or the person who developed the method is Brazillian. ANyways, this method doesn't rely on picking...
Does anybody know if PT slab grade foundations are used to help mitigate the effects of slope creep ? Slope creep is a phenomena which occurs on slopes constructed of expansive soils. After several years of wetting and drying cycles the slope begins to creep downhill. Slope creep eventually...
I'm performing a rapid drawdown analysis for a 2:1 slope, 25 feet tall, phi = 26 and c=300 psf. I used the charts contained in Morgenstern's "Stability Charts for Earth Slopes During Rapid Drawdown" (Geotechnique, 1960?) and was able to extrapolate to find FS=1.49.
However, for my...
