Rebuild Of Us 27, Don W. Dotson, Christopher J. Ramsey
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
An existing four lane section of US 27 was widened to eight lanes. The project lies in the rugged Valley and Ridge Province of the Appalachian mountains starting at the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, Tennessee and extending 2.6 km north to Signal Mountain Boulevard. This terrain presented many challenges to accommodate the road widening in the narrow, rugged topography. Multiple tiered wall systems consisting of large tieback walls, post-tensioned reaction blocks, and gravity MSE walls for a total of approximately 30 retaining walls were required. The retaining walls served to stabilize the thrust faulted geology while also minimizing right-of-way acquisitions. …

A Non-Linear Method To Estimate Elastic Settlement Of Shallow Foundations Using Small-Strain Stiffness, Reza Amini Ahidashti, Abdolhosain Hadad
A Non-Linear Method To Estimate Elastic Settlement Of Shallow Foundations Using Small-Strain Stiffness, Reza Amini Ahidashti, Abdolhosain Hadad
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
In this paper, we investigated how to utilize the small-strain stiffness order to estimate the settlement of shallow foundation on granular soils. For this purpose, a power law equation between normalized shear modulus and shear strain was presented. Based on elasticity theory and proposed equation, a new method in term of small-strain stiffness was suggested order to estimate the immediate settlement. In order to evaluate the proposed method, a series case history was studied, that included the loading tests and seismic geophysical tests. These field measurements are compared to the predicted values. The result indicated that the proposed method in …

Case Histories In Geotechnical Engineering Education, James Mahar
Case Histories In Geotechnical Engineering Education, James Mahar
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
Case histories can be taught as an individual course or as part of a specific engineering class. These studies are very important when the teaching methodology incorporates the observational approach in design and construction. Several resources for case histories are available. However the most insightful are those in which the instructor has personal knowledge or the student participates in a case history-type project. One of the most important elements in engineering education is the sequential design approach in civil works projects. Case histories provide a very effective means of illustrating the complete design process which is the framework of professional …

Composite Shallow & Deep Foundation In Karst Geology For The Countryside Christian Center New Sanctuary Clearwater, Florida, Said Iravani
Composite Shallow & Deep Foundation In Karst Geology For The Countryside Christian Center New Sanctuary Clearwater, Florida, Said Iravani
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
Evaluation, design, construction, and monitoring of foundations in karst geology are challenging tasks. The random presence of karst features, the variation in size, extent, and depth of karst features, and the different origin and geological characteristics of karst features make site characterization and investigation difficult. A balance between non-intrusive filed tests is useful to improve the site characterization. Non-intrusive field tests which provide multi-dimensional mapping such as Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) or Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) can provide spatial coverage instead of point data. Non-intrusive field tests which are not sensitive to moisture such as shear wave velocity measurements can …

Importance Of Observational Method In View Of Numerical Analyses For Retaning Structures In Soft Soils, Patrick Becker
Importance Of Observational Method In View Of Numerical Analyses For Retaning Structures In Soft Soils, Patrick Becker
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
The soil-structure-interaction of retaining structures is complex and dependent on many factors. In particular excavations in soft soils and urban environments with adjacent buildings are always subjected to deformations which are not fully avoidable. Therefore, numerical analyses can be a powerful tool for predicting the stress path and time dependent deformation behavior of retaining structures in soft soils. But the quality of these numerical predictions is directly related to the used constitutive soil models, the estimation of their material parameters and a realistic simulation of the soil-structure-interaction. The fact that Class-A predictions of the deformation behavior of retaining structures in …
Insurance Industry Perspective On The Importance Of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering For Commercial Structures, James Saldaña
Insurance Industry Perspective On The Importance Of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering For Commercial Structures, James Saldaña
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
Pricing in the commercial catastrophe insurance market is primarily driven by computer models. For the evaluation of commercial earthquake insurance risk, the majority of insurers, reinsurers and more recently, rating agencies, rely heavily on the output models developed by a few software vendors. Insurers and reinsurers evaluate their total risk based on output from one or more of these models, and develop prices that depend on the loss estimate data from the models. In an effort to most accurately potential, soil conditions and engineering practices are recognized by the model vendors and incorporated into the loss calculation algorithms.When an insurer …

Analysis Of Plie Raft Interaction In Sand With Centrifuge Tests, Donggyu Park, Doohyun Kyung, Kyujin Choi, Junhwan Lee
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
In the conventional design for piled rafts, the load capacity of the raft is not in general taken into account and the load capacity of piles is only considered for the estimation of the total load carrying capacity of the piled rafts. As a consequence, piled rafts are often designed with excessively conservative safety margin, raising a need of further investigation of the load capacity mechanism of piled rafts. In this study, a series of centrifuge load tests using model group piles and piled rafts are conducted and used to compare the axial load carrying behaviors of group piles and …
