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...

Subbase design criteria for secondary roads

Creator:: Olson, Bertel Orlando
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Behavioral thresholds in mixtures of sand and clay

Creator:: Simpson, Daniel Corder
Abstract:: Nearly all soils are comprised of mixtures of coarse and fine particles. Behavior under mechanical and thermal loading of soil is strongly influenced (and in some cases, governed) by the ratio of coarse to fine particles. A better understanding of the fundamental behavior of soil mixtures will provide insight to...

Design and evaluation of a foundation model testing device

Creator:: Kelly, Patrick Bryan
Abstract:: Model testing has proven to be an effective tool in the study of soil-structure systems. While primarily used in research work, this method of evaluation is also applicable to the solution of many types of complex design problems. Because of its workability and relatively simple characteristics, sand is the most...

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...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Consolidation characteristics of sand-clay mixtures

Creator:: Anderson, Donald G. (Donald Gordon)
Abstract:: Combinations of cohesive and cohesionless soils are often encountered when evaluating the engineering properties of soils. The stress-volume characteristics of the mixed soil are found to vary according to the proportion of each component. If the cohesive soil composes more than a certain fraction of the material, the magnitude of...

Stress-strain-time relations for a compacted residual soil

Creator:: Khuayjarernpanishk, Thanasarn
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Fabric reinforcement of low embankments on soft foundations

Creator:: Greenway, Daryl Rodney
Abstract:: Nonlinear large deflection finite element analyses of a fabric reinforced embankment on muskeg were performed to predict fabric tension and the effect of fabric stiffness on embankment deflections. The predicted fabric tensions were compared with the results of a sliding block analysis, and show this simple analysis requires further correlation...

Characterization of reinforced fill soil, soil-reinforcement interaction, and internal stability of very tall MSE walls

Creator:: Walters, James J.
Abstract:: In many geotechnical design situations involving tight right-of-way constraints, Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls are often the most cost-effective and reliable earth retention technology among available alternatives. However, few well-documented case histories with detailed material testing, instrumentation programs and construction observation of performance are available in the literature. Despite the...
