  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...
