  • Disposal of sandy pipeline dredge spoils by end dumping

    Creator:
    Pyles, Marvin Russell
    Abstract:
    Channel maintenance operations in the rivers and harbors of the United States annually require the disposal of over 320 million cubic meters of dredge spoils. As the availability of suitable land sites diminishes, open water disposal presents an attractive yet controversial alternative method. For open water disposal to be acceptable,...

  • A manual for plate loading tests performed on rock

    Creator:
    Dodds, Donald J.
    Abstract:
    Plate loading tests in rock are deceptively simple tests to perform. Consequently, many varieties have been developed in the past 60 years. From each of the varieties various investigators have added their own developments and modifications, some good, and some not so good. The result has been a confusion of...

  • Consolidation characteristics of calcareous deep sea-floor sediments from the Panama Basin

    Creator:
    Kao, Yeoung Ting
    Abstract:
    Calcareous sediments containing a large percentage of foraminiferal microskeletal tests were taken from sites in the Panama Basin and subjected to an investigation to determine the consolidation characteristics of this type of soil. The consolidation-stress curves and the time rate of consolidation curves in particular were investigated in this study....

  • Modeling hydraulic dredge spoil fate

    Creator:
    Tseng, Ying-chuan
    Abstract:
    Hydraulic dredging is and most certainly will remain a primary means of maintaining and improving ship channels and for land reclamation in near-shore water. The study of which this thesis describes a part is intended to develop a method of predetermining the immediate disposition of sand spoils from hydraulic dredging...

  • Evaluation of fabric reinforcement of the roadway structure

    Creator:
    Lavansiri, Direk
    Abstract:
    An evaluation of fabric reinforcement of the roadway structure is made. The study includes a parametric analy sis using layered elastic theory and a series of large scale model tests. The parametric. study analyzes the stresses and strains of roadway structures with a fabric layer between tna surface layer and...

  • Pile hammer selection by driving stress analysis

    Creator:
    Barrero-Quiroga, Franklin
    Abstract:
    This paper presents an application of the wave equation to the problem of selecting a driving hammer for prestressed concrete piles. The potentially damaging effects of these types of hammers on various prestressed concrete piles were analyzed by means of parametric studies carried out on a hypothetical group of problems...

  • Penetration resistance predictions for driven piling

    Creator:
    Hansen, Lawrence A.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a method of predicting penetration resistance for driven piles, using known driving records for driving the same type piling in similar subsurface conditions. As known driving records are not always available to the analyst, a method was also investigated using soil data only. The analytical tools employed...

  • Experiments on cable strumming and flow induced drag

    Creator:
    Barnes, Bert Lee
    Abstract:
    Short non-flexible elements of cable were driven harmonically in water while constrained by springs. The cable elements were observed to oscillate at approximately the Strouhal vortex shedding frequency. Damped resonance occurred near the point where the natural frequency and the Strouhal vertex shedding frequency were equal. Transverse oscillation amplitudes greater...
