  • Behavior of a circular cell bulkhead during construction

    Creator:
    Khuayjarernpanishk, Thanasarn
    Abstract:
    A single cell in a 12 cell bulkhead was instrumented to observe its behavior and confirm design assumptions during construction. Vibrating wire strain gages were employed to measure horizontal strains in sheetpiling webs. These were converted to interlock force at eight locations and three elevations around the cell. The deformed...

  • Finite elements analysis of circular cell bulkheads

    Creator:
    Kittisatra, Likhit
    Abstract:
    A mathematical model is developed for the analysis of circular cell bulkheads subjected to gravity loads of cell fill, backfill, lateral pressure, and surcharge load using the finite element method. The finite element circular cell model consists of axisymmetric triangular and/or quadrilateral ring elements for soil and cylindrical shell elements...

  • Behavior of cellular bulkheads in deep sands

    Creator:
    Maitland, James Keith
    Abstract:
    Large-scale experiments on circular model cell bulkheads were conducted to define the distribution of hoop stresses, deflections of the cells, distortion of the cell fill, ultimate overturning resistance, and the critical mode of failure. The embedment depth of the model cells was varied to investigate the effect of embedment on...
