Numerical Simulation of Vertical Pullout of Plate Anchors Embedded in Reinforced Sand

February 14, 2019

This paper presents a model to predict the ultimate pullout load (Pu) for a shallow single vertical plate anchor embedded in sand and fiber reinforced sand for depth (H)/diameter (D) ratios of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0. The model was developed based on literature field test results and wide laboratory investigation. The numerical analysis was performed using the...

Development of a Cyclic Simple Shear Apparatus

November 24, 2017

Considering the increasing incidence of cyclic loadings on engineering structures and the enhancement of design analysis, soil testing under cyclic conditions has renewed its importance. Laboratory tests are conducted to simulate as near as possible field conditions. Assumed conditions aid on the choice of the tests to be conducted in order to determina...

A Sole Empirical Correlation Expressing Strength of Fine-Grained Soils – Lime Mixtures

June 27, 2017
This paper advances understanding of the key parameters controlling unconfined compressive strength (qu) of lime stabilized fine-grained soils by considering distinct specimen porosities (η), different lime types and contents and several curing temperatures and time periods. A sole empirical relationship is proposed establishing the normalized unconfine...
