Maximum Envelope of Lateral Resistance through Dynamic Increasing Energy Test in Piles

March 21, 2018

The traditional dynamic load test, based on the one-dimensional wave propagation theory consists in applying a sequence of constant energy blows and making measurements using deformation and acceleration sensors installed on top of the pile, as a function of time. The traditional method has evolved with the development of a numerical model that simulate...

Importance of the Excavation Level on the Prediction of the Settlement Pattern from Piled Raft Analyses

March 15, 2018

This article analyses the effect of the excavation level on the settlement results from a standard analysis of a piled raft system. For that, a published case history that involved a house located in Gothenburg, Sweden by Hansbo (1993) was examined. This structure was founded over a soft, highly plastic marine clay of varying thickness, where the founda...

A Method for Designing Finger Drains and Assessing Phreatic Lines for Dams

October 02, 2018
Finger drains are linear drains used to collect and conduct percolated water in embankment dams. They are arranged crosswise into earth dams, either permanently or as a technique to treat clogged filters. Given their easy operation, they are often applied in engineering practice, without the aid of specific dimensioning techniques in many cases. The aim of this ...
