  • Development of an ACIP pile-specific load-displacement model

    Creator:
    Adami, Nasim
    Abstract:
    Augered cast-in-place piles, also known as ACIP piles, have been used for more than seven decades in the United States and have gained in popularity due to their relatively quick installation and cost-effectiveness. Owing to the reduced impact on the neighboring environment as compared to some other deep foundation installation...

  • 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...

  • The Influence of Glacial Isostatic Adjustment on Marine Stratigraphic Correlation

    Creator:
    King, Meghan E.
    Abstract:
    Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) alters the amplitude and timing of ‘glacioeustatic’ sea level maxima and minima around the globe. No study has examined the intrinsic distance that one can correlate marine stratigraphic records of glacial–interglacial sedimentation across continental shelves subject to varying amounts of GIA. Here, we seek to model...

  • Shear reinforcement effects of discrete columns in liquefiable soils

    Creator:
    Rayamajhi, Deepak
    Abstract:
    Discrete columns, such as stone and soil-cement columns, are often used to improve the liquefaction resistance of loose sandy ground. In particular, stone columns are considered to increase resistance potential by densification, drainage, and reinforcement mechanisms. For silty soil, the shear stress reduction resulting from the reinforcing effect of stiffer...

  • 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...
