In this paper geotechnical design is addressed and particularly Static and Seismic Pile Foundation Design by Load Tests and Calculation Models. Within this framework Eurocode 7 – Geotechnical Design and Eurocode 8 – Design of Structures for Earthquake Resistance are introduced. The ultimate limit states and the serv...
View ArticleSample quality has a direct influence on the results of geo-mechanical parameters obtained in laboratory and in situ tests, potentially causing serious technical and economic consequences. In the study of soft soil behavior using laboratory tests, it is important to evaluate, and be able to quantify sample quality, and if necessary and possible, to corr...
View ArticleThe purpose of this work is the calculation of the optimal parameters involved with advanced drilling of gas-draining holes. These holes are made to floor entryways and provide an efficiency test for floor degas extractions, like the AB bed at the Uralkali’s Berizniki Ore Development Unit No 2 and Unit No 4 (Mine 2 and Mine 4). Current conditi...
View ArticleThe dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) is a widely used in-situ device to determine the engineering properties of soils. This paper reports a meta-analysis of laboratory calibration studies to establish a relationship between the rate of penetration and relative density for sands. Fourteen (14) different sands from different geographic and geological setti...
