Experimental and Numerical Study of Tension Bearing Capacity of Circular Skirted Foundations Resting on Sand Bed
Skirted foundations are an appropriate alternative to deep foundations in onshore and offshore structures, which have the ability to withstand uplift loads, are also easy to be installed. The tensile performance of skirted foundations on sand was studied by physical and numerical modeling. Laboratory tests were carried out on small-scale foundation models with peripheral skirts. Numerical model...
متن کاملA comparison of the combined load behaviour of spudcan and caisson foundations on soft normally consolidated clay
Experimental data from loading tests of model circular footings on soft normally consolidated clay are presented. The experiments were carried out on a drum centrifuge at a radial acceleration level equivalent to 100 times Earth’s gravity, ensuring conditions of stress similitude between the model and the prototype scale. The aim of the experiments was to compare the undrained response of diffe...
متن کاملEffects of the Spudcan Penetration on the Adjacent Foundations
To study the effects of spudcan penetration on the adjacent foundations of offshore platforms, experiments and numerical simulations (using business software ABAQUS) are carried out. It is shown that the penetration of spudcan can cause the soil layer affected in an annular zone. The affected zone has a maximum width of one times the diameter of the spudcan. The deflection of the platform’s fou...
متن کاملHow Moral Foundations Theory Succeeded in Building on Sand: A Response to Suhler and Churchland
Suppose you are an architect and you have recently completed a challenging project: designing and building a sturdy modern house on a sandy stretch of ground where several previous architects had failed. The shifting ground had cracked their one-piece rigid concrete foundations. You vowed not to repeat their mistakes, so you designed a novel foundational system that avoided the use of concrete ...
متن کاملEffect of Soil Grain Size on the Geophysical Response of Graves: Clay Vs Silt Vs Sand
Non-invasive geophysical imaging of Maori ancestral burial sites (urupa) have allowed us to test when and where geophysical surveys are most likely to succeed. Results from five sites, with both marked and unmarked graves, in three coastal settings along the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand show that burials in clay and silt (loess) can be readily identified using geophysical techn...
