  • Ultimate and serviceability limit state reliability-based axial capacity of deep foundations

    Creator:
    Reddy, Seth C.
    Abstract:
    Deep foundations are necessary for the construction of many structures, such as bridges and buildings, located in areas unsuitable for shallow foundations. Owing to the inherent variability of soil and the complex changes that occur in the soil adjacent to deep foundations as they are installed, the ability to accurately...

  • Ground Improvement and Liquefaction Mitigation using Driven Timber Piles

    Creator:
    Gianella, Tygh N.
    Abstract:
    Seismically-induced liquefaction represents a major cause of damage to civil infrastructure and can result in significant damage following major earthquakes. Liquefaction can occur when earthquake ground motions raise pore-water pressures in loose, sandy soil, resulting in a substantial decrease of soil strength. Owing to the potential for instability following liquefaction,...

  • Characterization of reinforced fill soil, soil-reinforcement interaction, and internal stability of very tall MSE walls

    Creator:
    Walters, James J.
    Abstract:
    In many geotechnical design situations involving tight right-of-way constraints, Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls are often the most cost-effective and reliable earth retention technology among available alternatives. However, few well-documented case histories with detailed material testing, instrumentation programs and construction observation of performance are available in the literature. Despite the...

  • Development of an ACIP pile-specific load-displacement model

    Creator:
    Adami, Nasim
    Abstract:
    Augered cast-in-place piles, also known as ACIP piles, have been used for more than seven decades in the United States and have gained in popularity due to their relatively quick installation and cost-effectiveness. Owing to the reduced impact on the neighboring environment as compared to some other deep foundation installation...

  • Uplift capacity and displacement of helical anchors in cohesive soil

    Creator:
    Young, Jessica
    Abstract:
    Helical anchors are a type of deep foundation element that can be installed quickly in almost any location and can accept the immediate application of operational loads. The use of helical anchors has expanded in recent decades from its established application in the power transmission industry to more traditional civil...
