Behavior Of Piles In Liquefiable Soils During Earthquakes: Analysis And Design Issues, W. D. L. Finn, N. Fujita
Behavior Of Piles In Liquefiable Soils During Earthquakes: Analysis And Design Issues, W. D. L. Finn, N. Fujita
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
A general picture of the current state of the art and the emerging technology for dealing effectively with the seismic design and analysis of pile foundations in liquefiable soils is presented. Two distinct design cases are considered and illustrated by case histories. One is the static response of pile foundations to the pressures and displacements caused by lateral spreading of liquefied ground. The other is the seismic response of piles to strong shaking accompanied by the development of high pore water pressures or liquefaction. Design for lateral spreading is examined in the context of developments in design practice and the …
The Leaning Tower Of Pisa Revisited, J. B. Burland
The Leaning Tower Of Pisa Revisited, J. B. Burland
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
Stabilisation of the Leaning Tower of Pisa was achieved by means of an innovative method of soil extraction which induced a small reduction in inclination not visible to the casual onlooker. Its implementation has required advanced computer modelling, large-scale development trials, an exceptional level of continuous monitoring and daily communication to maintain control. Recently a number of historical examples have been found of the application of soil extraction to straightening leaning buildings – the earliest being 1832. Contemporary accounts of the work bring out interesting and important similarities and serve as reminders of the inventiveness and resourcefulness of engineers long …
Success And Failure In Predicting Pile Performance, Harry G. Poulos
Success And Failure In Predicting Pile Performance, Harry G. Poulos
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
This paper reviews the anatomy of predictions for pile and pile group performance, and discusses the various facets of the prediction process. A series of case histories is presented in which successful predictions were made of the pile performance. Most of these cases involve a single pile or a small group of piles. A further series of case histories is then discussed in which the predictions were far less successful. Most of these cases involve larger pile groups. The reasons for the success or otherwise of the predictions are discussed, and it is concluded that successful predictions require a combination …
Case Studies Of Pile Foundations Undergoing Lateral Spreading In Liquefied Deposits, K. Ishihara, M. Cubrinovski
Case Studies Of Pile Foundations Undergoing Lateral Spreading In Liquefied Deposits, K. Ishihara, M. Cubrinovski
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
A well-documented case study from the 1995 Kobe earthquake highlighting the performance of pile foundations in liquefied deposits undergoing lateral spreading is presented. The subject of this study is an oil-storage tank supported on 69 precast concrete piles, 23 m long and 45 cm in diameter. The tank is located in the west part of Mikagehama Island, about 20 m inland from the revetment line. During the Kobe earthquake, the fill deposit surrounding the foundation of the tank developed liquefaction. The quay wall moved seawards and consequent lateral spreading of the backfill soils affected seriously the piles supporting the tank. …
The World Trade Center “Bathtub”, A Case History, George J. Tamaro
The World Trade Center “Bathtub”, A Case History, George J. Tamaro
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
In 1967 the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) undertook the construction of the World Trade Center (WTC) diaphragm (slurry) walls, installation of the lateral support system and the excavation of the site, commonly referred to as the “Bathtub”. The work took two years to complete. In 2001 the City of New York undertook the re-excavation of the site after the terrorist attacks. The recovery work took eight months to complete. When the World Trade Center Recovery Effort officially concluded on May 30, 2002, reconstruction was already underway. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey …

Environmental Geotechnics: Two Case Histories, James K. Mitchell, Richard A. Mitchell
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
About 20 million gallons of liquid hazardous and toxic industrial wastes were disposed at the Hardage Site, about 35 miles southsouthwest of Oklahoma City, from 1972 to 1980. Following Superfund designation of this site by the EPA, identification of a few hundred companies as Potentially Responsible Parties, and a court ordered excavate, incinerate, and re-entomb remedy for its remediation, many of the companies joined to form the Hardage Site Remedy Corporation (HSRC) for implementation of design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the facility. With the aid of a panel comprised of experts in the disciplines relevant to contaminated site remediation, …
Seismic Bearing Capacity Failure And Overturning Of ‘Terveler’ Building In Adapazari, 1999, George Gazetas, Marios Apostolou, John Anastasopoulos
Seismic Bearing Capacity Failure And Overturning Of ‘Terveler’ Building In Adapazari, 1999, George Gazetas, Marios Apostolou, John Anastasopoulos
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
The paper investigates some aspects of the rocking response of structures, the foundations of which are allowed to uplift from their base. Observed behaviour of foundations in Adapazari during the 17-8-99 Izmit (Kocaeli) Earthquake is outlined. Settlement, tilting, and complete overturning of numerous buildings during this devastating earthquake are attributed to the interplay between the yielding/liquefying soil and the rocking/uplifting foundation, under large inertial overturning moments generated by the slender buildings. The overturning of Terveler building is studied in detail. The scope of the study is to present the facts of these cases and outline some plausible mechanisms of overturning.
