  • Pile hammer selection by driving stress analysis

    Creator:
    Barrero-Quiroga, Franklin
    Abstract:
    This paper presents an application of the wave equation to the problem of selecting a driving hammer for prestressed concrete piles. The potentially damaging effects of these types of hammers on various prestressed concrete piles were analyzed by means of parametric studies carried out on a hypothetical group of problems...

  • Stabilization of landslides along the Oregon Coast

    Creator:
    Prestedge, Gordon Kendall
    Abstract:
    The northern Oregon coast suffers extensive loss of land as a result of landslides which constitute the primary mechanism of coastline recession. Both real property and structures along the coast have been destroyed and this destruction will continue. In certain instances, it may be feasible to protect property by engineered...

  • 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...

  • A determination of ultimate pile capacity in clayey silt

    Creator:
    Thompson, Duane Melvin
    Abstract:
    Predetermining the ultimate capacity of piles driven into purely cohesive soils and purely cohesionless soils involves, respectively, the consideration of soil shear strength in a completely undrained and a completely drained condition. For the intermediate cases concerning soils that possess both cohesion and internal friction (silts, clayey silts, sandy clays,...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...
