Multiplate Penetration Tests to Determine Soil Stiffness Constants in Upadhyaya Model under Field Conditions
Soil stiffness constants govern the soil sinkage and the pressure-sinkage behaviour of the soil under load. To determine soil stiffness constants in Upadhyaya model under field conditions, a field reflecting general character of an agricultural soil was selected and multiplate penetration tests were conducted. The soil stiffness constants in Upadhyaya model were determined from five sets of soi...
متن کاملSoil Classification Through Penetration Tests
The Newcastle Dilatometer (NDMT) developed by Akbar in 2001 has a distinctive feature that it loads the soil with a rigid piston in place of flexible membrane as in the Marchetti Dilatometer (MDMT). Based on the previous research works carried out using the NDMT in normally consolidated soils, it has been found that the material and dilatometer indices from the NDMT data can be used to classify...
متن کاملTests to Determine the Joint Stiffness and Resisting Moment Capacity of Joints in Timber-Framed Houses
Wind and earthquake disasters in the world often cause billions of dollars of damage to buildings, most of which is to non-engineered buildings-especially homes. Wood-frame homes use connectors which exhibit partial rotational rigidity at the member ends, making analytical solutions difficult. This is due to the lack of information about the complex behavior of the connections used in this type...
متن کاملIntroduction to Soil Moduli
The modulus of a soil is one of the most difficult soil parameters to estimate because it depends on so many factors. Therefore when one says for example:”The modulus of this soil is 10,000 kPa”, one should immediately ask: “What are the conditions associated with this number?” The following is a background on some of the important influencing factors for soil moduli. It is not meant to be a th...
متن کاملUsing Miniature Cone Penetration Test (Mini-CPT) to determine engineering properties of sandy soils
In-situ testing techniques have proven to be successful in improving the speed and reliability of geotechnical investigations. One of the most common in-situ methods in engineering geology and site investigation is Cone Penetration Test (CPT), which is mainly used for characterization of soils, as it is a robust, simple, fast, reliable and economic test that can provide continuous soundings of ...
