  • 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...

  • 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,...

  • Vibration induced pore pressure development in graded sands

    Creator:
    Steinkamp, Henry Vincent
    Abstract:
    During construction of the embankment at Blue River Dam placement difficulties were occasionally experienced with the filter zone sands. In the extreme condition construction equipment became mired and part of the fill had to be removed and wasted. A laboratory investigation was conducted on materials from the above project to...

  • Flow slide control with slope revetments

    Creator:
    Narkiewicz, Steven Arthur
    Abstract:
    This paper examines the response of submerged model sand slopes to vibration and the beneficial effects of placing rock revetments on the face of the slope to prevent flaw slides. Pore water pressure response and deflection were used as a criteria for stability in an attempt to relate stability with...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Influence of expansive soils on structures in the Eugene area

    Creator:
    Bonell, John Alexander
    Abstract:
    Expansive soils in Eugene, Oregon present a problem to residents, consultants, contractors, and the city government. During the years 1977 to 1979, the nature and extent of the problem was identified, including an outline of the local occurrence of expansive soils and possible engineering solutions to the most often encountered...
