I have a question for all the Settle3D experts out there. In working with an excavation, I set up stages (Initial, Dewater, Excavation, Load). There is some settlement from dewatering, and some significant rebound from the excavation phase. I want to show settlement due to load starting at...

I used to use Everstress (Washington DOT) to review strains, stresses and deflections due to loading to model different scenarios for pavement rehabilitation, but, it is no longer available and the old version doesn't work on Windows anymore.
Any suggestions on free or commercial...
I remember a case history of a historic structure with a freezer that was redeveloped. After much distress, an engineering firm decided that the ground was still frozen under the structure and the distress was from thawing ground. Does anyone remember that case history? Would love to find it...
I've never asked this question, although I always wrestle with it. How many strong cycles in an earthquake is pretty well documented based on a controlling magnitude event, but in designing piles for lateral loads due to wind loading, I typically use 100's of cycles, and typically look at...
Does anyone know a good reference paper or text for dealing with liquefiable layers in pile design. We're trying to feel comfortable with realistic amount of downdrag or strength loss that could occur in seismic event. Thanks for any help.

Hey, Can anyone tell me their experience in using polymer drilling slurries. My assumption was that we would get a reduction in skin friction. The manufacturer claims an increase in skin friction. Any experience out there? Thanks much.
