Estimation Of Site Effects In The Iranian Plateau Using The Quarter-Wavelength Method, Mohammad Ebrahim Fakhimnia, Hamid Zafarani, Shima Shams Rad
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
The characteristics of strong ground motion at a given site depend upon the source mechanism, the transmission path together with the geological characteristics of source to the site, and the local soil conditions at the site, mostly known in the engineering and seismological literature as site effects. In the context of the stochastic simulation methods (e.g. Boore 1983), site effects play a significant rule in ground-motion studies. The objective of this paper is the assessment of site effects (both crustal amplification and near surface attenuation) in the Iran plateau. The effects in different parts of Iran were estimated based on …

An Investigation Of Load And Resistance Factor Design Of Drilled Shafts Using Historical Field Test Data,

University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY
An Investigation Of Load And Resistance Factor Design Of Drilled Shafts Using Historical Field Test Data, Kam Ng, Jessica Garder, Sri Sritharan, Jeramy Ashlock
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
To achieve engineered designs with consistent levels of reliability, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) mandated that all new bridges initiated after October 1, 2007, including those founded upon drilled shafts, be designed according to the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) approach. As the first step in developing efficient regional LRFD procedures for drilled shafts, the Drilled SHAft Foundation Testing (DSHAFT) database was formulated. DSHAFT was aimed at assimilating high quality, historical drilled shaft test data from Iowa and the surrounding states, and it presently contains data from 41 drilled shaft load tests, 38 of which are O-cell load tests, …
Application Of Case Studies To Practice In Foundation Engineering In India,

Application Of Case Studies To Practice In Foundation Engineering In India, Mahesh D. Desai, Jignesh B. Patel, Nehal H. Desai
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
India has massive developments, urbanization, housing, communication in last decade. The optimization of cost and saving construction time to complete, are now new aspects which geotechnical engineers are facing. Till today the typical design of shallow foundations of structure-buildings, fly over and dams on non-plastic silty fine sand subsoils found in alluvial deposits of state like Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Gujarat, Bengal and long coastal belt, were designed by age old practice based on soil mechanics of 1948. Such proven practice became BIS codes for design and construction of structural foundations in 1976-81. The common sense and observational approach of Terzaghi …

Behaviour Of A Large Anchored Basement In Dense Sands And Gravels, Francesco Petrella, Roberto Persio, Silvia Ferrero, Tim Hocombe
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
Prior to the excavation of half a million cubic meters of dense gravelly material within the city centre of Milan, a 24 to 27m long diaphragm wall was built to provide a 17m retained height to a four-level basement. Temporary support was offered by two to four rows of ground anchors with the exception of a portion adjacent to an existing multi-level cark park where a post-tensioned capping beam was installed to protect the car park and prevent it from being subject to sway. Other design challenges were posed by the proximity of a buried channel and of an urban …
Calibration Of Numerical Model For Liquefaction-Induced Effects On Levees And Embankments,

Calibration Of Numerical Model For Liquefaction-Induced Effects On Levees And Embankments, Michelle Shriro, Jonathan D. Bray
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
Soil liquefaction presents a significant hazard to the built environment. The seismically induced permanent displacement of earth levees, dams, and embankments resulting from liquefaction below these earth structures is not well captured in current seismic design practice. The objective of this study is to advance the capabilities of numerical methods toward the solution of problems involving limited lateral spreads. The nonlinear soil constitutive model UBCSAND, as implemented in the finite difference program FLAC, (Itasca), is used to evaluate the seismic deformations of the newly-constructed Moss Landing Marine Laboratory (MLML) in Moss Landing, California resulting from liquefaction-induced lateral movements during the …
