Man-Made Vibrations And Solutions, K. R. Massarsch
Man-Made Vibrations And Solutions, K. R. Massarsch
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
The generation and propagation of man-made vibrations in the ground is discussed. Emphasis is placed a simplified approach which is used to assess the most important factors, such as wave attenuation, refraction focusing and vibration amplification as a result of resonance. Practical guidelines are presented which can be used to predict vibrations and settlements in the ground. A semi-empirical relationship for the assessment of permissible vibration levels for buildings is proposed. Finally, a new ground vibration isolation method, the gas cushion screen is presented.

Practical Studies Of The Seismic Response Of A Rockfill Dam And A Tailings Impoundment, W. D. Liam Finn
Practical Studies Of The Seismic Response Of A Rockfill Dam And A Tailings Impoundment, W. D. Liam Finn
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
Two case studies from engineering practice are presented to demonstrate how useful a sophisticated finite element analysis can be in providing a comprehensive understanding of how dams behave during earthquakes. The first example involves determining, from the recorded performance of a rockfill dam, the volume change characteristics of the rockfill which cannot be measured directly. The second example covers the full range of current capability for analysis. It involves dynamic effective stress analysis of a tailings dam to check the triggering of liquefaction and the analysis of post-liquefaction flow deformations.
Negative Skin Friction In Piles And Design Decisions, M. T. Davisson
Negative Skin Friction In Piles And Design Decisions, M. T. Davisson
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
Negative skin friction behavior of pile foundations is described for conditions of pile usage in the USA. Methods of determining downdrag load and pile resistance to downdrag are explained. Other factors entering into design are discussed such as pile load testing and analysis, pile structural strength, factors of safety, pile drivability, and reduction of downdrag loads. Observations from seven unpublished negative skin friction failures are used for illustration.
Seismic Response Of The Pile Foundation Of Ohba-Ohashi Bridge, George Gazetas, Takashi Tazoh, Katsumi Shimizu, Ke Fan
Seismic Response Of The Pile Foundation Of Ohba-Ohashi Bridge, George Gazetas, Takashi Tazoh, Katsumi Shimizu, Ke Fan
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
The paper outlines the recorded response to numerous earthquakes of the pile foundation, the supporting soil, and the superstructure of the main pier of a road bridge. The records include free-field accelerograms at the ground surface and the base of the alluvial deposit, accelerograms on the footing and the superstructure, and the bending and axial strain histories at several depths along two of the sixty-four piles. Recently developed methods of seismic analysis are used in interpreting the recorded data. Extensive comparisons are made between theory and measurements. Successes and failures of the theory are discussed. Emphasis is given to the …

Analysis Of Small Pipe Piles Using The Field Vane, G. A. Miller, A. J. Lutenegger
Analysis Of Small Pipe Piles Using The Field Vane, G. A. Miller, A. J. Lutenegger
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
Results of axial compressive load tests on three small diameter pipe piles driven in a varved clay deposit are presented. Predictions of the axial pile capacity were made using the a-method originally proposed by Tomlinson (1957, 1971) and incorporating undrained strength profiles determined with the field vane. Predicted and measured capacities are compared and discussed in light of the various factors which can affect the outcome such as vane geometry, vane testing procedure and interpretation, pile load testing conditions, and empirical relationships incorporated in predictions.
Bearing Capacity And Load-Displacement Behavior Of Rigid Pads On Soft, Sensitive, Clay, R. J. Jardine, B. M. Lehane, P. R. Smith, P. A. Gildea
Bearing Capacity And Load-Displacement Behavior Of Rigid Pads On Soft, Sensitive, Clay, R. J. Jardine, B. M. Lehane, P. R. Smith, P. A. Gildea
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
The paper describes tests on rigid square pads at the UK national soft clay research site at Bothkennar, Scotland. The work was performed as a low cost adjunct to the instrumented pile research described by Lehane and Jardine (1992). Its aims were to investigate (i} bearing capacity, (ii) load-displacement response to short and long term loading, (iii) the applicability of relevant theories and (iv) relationships between soil properties determined in-situ and those measured in high quality laboratory tests.
Behavior Of Laterally Loaded Drilled Shafts In Stiff Soil, A. J. Lutenegger, G. A. Miller
Behavior Of Laterally Loaded Drilled Shafts In Stiff Soil, A. J. Lutenegger, G. A. Miller
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
Results of lateral load tests on four drilled shafts installed in stiff cohesive soil are presented. Predictions of the load/displacement behavior were made using p-y curves generated from the results of Prebored Pressuremeter and Dilatometer Tests. A new method to develop p-y curves from the DMT is presented and discussed.
