Unsaturated Soils and Foundation Design : Theoretical Considerations for an Effective Stress Framework

Creator:

Baker, Josiah D.

Abstract:

This study presents the theoretical background necessary to model the bearing capacity of shallow and deep foundations in partially saturated soils. The conventional bearing capacity equations for shallow and deep foundations and the 𝛽-method for deep foundation side resistance have been modified to include the effects of matric suction and...

Evaluation of Topography and Seismicity on Shallow Landslide Susceptibility

Creator:

Hess, Daniel M.

Abstract:

Shallow landslides are a prevalent concern in mountainous regions that can result in severe societal, economic, and environmental impacts. The challenge is further compounded as the size and location of a potential slide is often unknown. This study presents a generalized approach for the evaluation of shallow landslide susceptibility using...

Lateral Load Path Analysis : Practical Methods for Light-Frame Modular Structures

Creator:

Huynh, Thanh Q.

Abstract:

The objectives of this study are to use SAP2000 to investigate lateral load paths and system behavior in a modular, light-frame wood structure by investigating different foundation configurations and to further develop and validate existing modeling techniques of shear wall elements based on the Perforated Shear Wall Method. The modeling...
