What is strruted excavation sequence respectively when support system is soldier
pile with lagging?
Timber lagging can be replaced by shotcrete. If vertical spacing is 6 meters is
soil excavated in one step?

Dear engineers. I want to draw shear force diagram, for one of the strips of a
mat foundation using Sap Output database. I will be grateful   if you help me.

Is there a journal or conference that I can recieve acceptance until April 2010?

Dear Colleagues,

As part of our continuing efforts to better meet the educational and
professional needs of our profession, we are happy to announce that from now,
all new postings of the Geotechnical Group are integrated in the Geoengineer.org
Website (http://www.geoengineer.org). On the main page of our website under the
heading "Latest News" there is a new tab titled "Mail Exchange Group", where all
new messages posted in this group, will be displayed. We believe that our
professional geotechnical community will benefit from the Geotechnical Group's
RSS feed, and we hope that this activity will increase participation and
information exchange in our mailing group.

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank the 2 moderators, Ivan Diaz
Granados and Michael Etezad for their kind participation and support over the
past years. Their assistance has enabled us to carry on this effort for
education, information and communication and hence grow and diversify this
group.

you can download this progrom from this link:

http://3sheetpile.co.cc/SheetPile/SheetPile.rar

warnning :this program run on winxp only

sheet pile program individual into two 4 parts:
1-free head sheet pile for (c-soil)
2-fixed head Sheet pile for (c-soil)
3-free head sheet pile for (fai-soil)
4-fixed head sheet pile for (fai-soil)

sheet pile program can calculate :
1-Lateral load (Pu)
2-Locate Zero Shear
3-Maximmum moment (Mmax at Zero Shear)
4-Moment of inertia (Ix)
5-Yield Moment (My)
6-Define the type of sheet pile is it:
Long or Short Or intermideate

Theory of resolving problem :
-first freehead sheetpile:
when the program is starting resolving the problem it starting resolve freehead
sheetpile as short sheetpile in this case
if My>Mmax then the computer will define sheet pile as short freehead sheetpile
and end the program
but if My<Mmax then the computer will solve the problem as long freehead
sheetpile
-second fixedhead sheetpile
when the program is starting resolving the problem it starting resolve fixedhead
sheetpile as short sheetpile in this case
if My>Mmax so the program will solve it as short fixedhead sheetpile and the
computer will end running program
if My<Mmax so the program will sove the problem as intermidiate pile and it will
get another value of Mmax less than the value that we have it before when we
solved the problem as short sheetpile
so if My>Mmax in this case the computer will end the problem an d define
fixedhead sheetpile as intermidiate fixedhead sheetpile
in another case if My<Mmax then the computer will still running the program and
will define fixedhead sheetpile as long fixedhead sheetpile in this case the
computer will decrease value of Mmax than before and Mmax will equal to My

so what does the program do?
when the computer start running the program it starts to calculate the value of
My and that is a constant value
and calculate the value of Mmax and that is variable value
and the definition of sheetpile will depend on the value of Mmax

Case    Mmax       My     Status of program      Definition
1                   <                  Stopped                 Short
2                   >                  Running              intermidiate
3                   <                  Stopped              intermidiate
4                   >                  Running                  long

case1:
if Mmax<My then the program will stopped and will defintion sheet pile as short
sheetpile

case2:
if Mmax in case 1 greater than MY then the program will still running and will
definition sheet pile as intermidiate sheet pile

case3:
if Mmax in case2 less than My then the program will stopped and will definition
sheet pile as intermidiate sheet pile

Case4:
if Mmax in case2 still greater than My then the program will still running and
will definition sheet pile as long sheet pile

so what is the different between freehead and fixedhead sheetpile ?
freehead has two phases only :short and long sheet pile
fixedhead has three phasses :short,intermidiate and long sheet pile

Is there different of theory of solve c-soil and fai-soil?
there is different and no different how?
no differnt of the phases
freehead c-soil has 2phase like freehead fai-soil (short,long)
fixedhead c-soil has 3phase like fixedhead fai-soil (short,intermidiate,long)
so What is the different ?
the differene is in the distribution of soil stress
in c-soil the the distribution soil stress is rectangular
but in fai soil the distribution soil stress is triangular

It is very easy to use gINT on www.cetrus.com  You have to enter your payment
information then it will load it on your computer, you will have an icon on your
desktop, then when you want to use the program you open it up and it charges you
$15/hr.  It is a pretty good system.  You can also get to Cetrus directly from
the gINT website : http://www.gintsoftware.com/about_releases_080609.html

Good Luck!!

Go to www.cetrus.com and you can download gINT to your computer and use it for
$15/hr with no software key.  They have lots of different engineering software
and is a great way to use expensive software without buying it.  My company has
150 employees and 5 offices, the software key doesn't work for us so we just
rent all of our engineering software through cetrus.com and charge it to our
projects.

I have modeled one slice of a braced excavation with FLAC3D in the following
manner:

1- piles in perimeter of the excavation are modeled.

2-Soil is excavated to a certain depth and the wall is covered with shotcrete.

3-First strut is installed.

Steps 2 & 3 are repeted until specified depth.

But the problem: I am not sure active earth pressure coefficient estimated with
model is correct.
I think I must apply displacment to the top of excavation until failure and
calculate earth pressure coefficient. Is this a good idea to estimate validity
of the model.
I don't know how apply displacement loading.

your sincerely,
