Subject: calculator for deflection & slope

A very useful calculator for slope and deflection is now available at
http://civilengineer.webinfolist.com/str/sdcalc.htm

This calculator can be easily used to find deflection and slope at different
points of simply supported beam and cantilever having point load or distributed
load.

visit the following page and give your feedback.

I'm not sure if you are talking about RSW (i.e. MSE wall) but if that's the case I believe its only to limit tensile stresses within the stabilised soil block. It has nothing to do with the rock foundation capacity.

Greetings,

Allow me to clarify the previous statement. The following section is quoted from FHWA Manual-Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) for Highway Bridge Substructures

“In addition to bearing capacity and sliding failure, spread footings are checked for stability against

overturning based on an evaluation of the bearing pressure resultant location with respect to the

centroid of the footing. In AASHTO ASD, the location of the bearing pressure resultant must be

maintained:

* Within B/6 of the center of the footing for footings on soil

*Within B/4 of the center of the footing for footings on rock”

Now, B/6; i can relate to the calculations that include the radius of gyration of the foundation; the occurance of negative stresses within the soil(which are theoratically impossible to occur) are prevented this way and so on... I just demand to know if anyone has any suggestion on B/4, and the special case in rock base.

In addition: In AASHTO LRFD manual, the numbers B/4 and B/6 are entirely different. But i would not intend to cause any confusions at this stage.

Thanks

Dear my colleagues..

In fact, i am doing direct shear soil for different sand soil (dry sand). I just wanted to calculate the relative density for these samples. My question is regarding with British standards. They mentioned it should soaking these samples to get the minimum void ratio. So, i need your advise about the sample in shear box (dry or saturated) and the test is loose or dense.

Thanks

Can you be more detail on what you want to get.

Sand strength behavior is different from loose to dense, and of course the Dr (relative density) one of key characteristic of its behavior.

In order to have dense sand (min void ratio), you can soak it and or vibrate it. To have max void, you can wet fluvial and or using funnel and slowly arise.

During testing for direct shear test (DST), the initial condition is playing big role, whether you start in wet or dry condition. For easier reconstitute sample, I suggest in dry condition. But you should imitate the actual condition that you want to test. If it is for reclamation, you may use wet condition.

But remember, there is limitation ion sand to hold water. Approx 10 - 15% water content will give you sand very wet!

What is the dimention of ur DST?

Thanks alots for your response..

Actually, the box direct shear dimension that i want to use it is (60x60mm). I just wanted to tell you that some of researcher they used the same sand with different relative density...How? they use that in the box test or out of the test and after that they bring sample to put it in the box.

In addition if i want to use a loose as well what exactly i should change in the apparatus??

Thanks again..

The bigger the specimens the realistic strength number you get.

The different DR on sand during test is one of the methods to identify strength changing in certain range. The sand behavior of loose and dense is very different. And it will different also if material gradation isnot the same. It similar to cohesive material in NC and OC condition. And that's why many researcher conduct series of test on the same sand at the different DR.
(Key : DR; Uc;D50;

To reconstitute sand sample, you can refer to ASTM(I forget the number), and what I know, there are 2 conditions and 3 ways to do that.

Condition: Wet and dry condition.
Methods: pluvial, pouring, and tapping. Those condition n methods were combined to achieves assigned DR. To have same density over the height of sample (especially when using TX), it is required to put the sample in several stage (I usually use 5 stage of same DR)

I would like to suggest that you will need

Thanks alots for your response..

In addition if i want to use a loose as well what exactly i should change in the apparatus??

Thanks again..

Can you be more detail on what you want to get.

Sand strength behavior is different from loose to dense, and of course the Dr (relative density) one of key characteristic of its behavior.

In order to have dense sand (min void ratio), you can soak it and or vibrate it. To have max void, you can wet fluvial and or using funnel and slowly arise.

During testing for direct shear test (DST), the initial condition is playing big role, whether you start in wet or dry condition. For easier reconstitute sample, I suggest in dry condition. But you should imitate the actual condition that you want to test. If it is for reclamation, you may use wet condition.

But remember, there is limitation ion sand to hold water. Approx 10 - 15% water content will give you sand very wet!

What is the dimention of ur DST?

Subject: [Geoengineer Group] Direct shear for sand soil

Dear my colleagues..

In fact, i am doing direct shear soil for different sand soil (dry sand). I just wanted to calculate the relative density for these samples. My question is regarding with British standards. They mentioned it should soaking these samples to get the minimum void ratio. So, i need your advise about the sample in shear box (dry or saturated) and the test is loose or dense.

Thanks

Madi.

Dear colleagues,

The International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), the premier international organization in geotechnical engineering, and Geoengineer.org have launched this October GeoWorld http://www.mygeoworld.info. Geoworld is a new, free, professional networking platform for geoprofessionals, companies and professional organizations in the geoengineering profession. GeoWorld simplifies professional interactions, collaborations, and outreach activities at a global scale. The networking site has already about 1000 geoprofessionals and more than 60 companies and professional organizations have joined GeoWorld. In addition, 58 professional groups have established group pages. The following video briefly presents Geoworld and I encourage you to view it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRYA-mMSGCw&feature=player_embedded .

The ISSMGE http://www.mygeoworld.info/pg/profile/ISSMGE has also created a profile page on GeoWorld and a group page has been created for each of the Technical Committees. You can register to these TC pages to receive information from them. Other organizations are doing the same.

You can setup a GeoWorld profile in 10-15 minutes max. Your GeoWorld profile page has all the capabilities of a website (professional info, publications, photo galleries, videos, blogs, file sharing) and allows you to include all your professional information. No programming skills are required. All information on your profile page (or groups) is automatically indexed and available to other GeoWorld members. You can connect with other geo-professional, and create pages for your company, consulting projects, international collaborations. If you are at the university, you can create a page for your research projects, or your student or alumni groups. Individuals can register to these pages and receive automatically information from them.

Geoengineer.org has also created a series of “How-to” instruction videos (http://www.mygeoworld.info/pg/expages/read/Instructions/ , tips (http://www.mygeoworld.info/pg/expages/read/Tips/ ), and a list of Frequently-Asked-Questions (FAQ) (http://www.mygeoworld.info/pg/expages/read/FAQ/). We hope that you will find this new unique tool, very valuable to your professional activities. We are currently working on adding many additional features that we envision that they will dramatically change professional communication and information exchange in our Profession. GeoWorld will remain free to all geoprofessionals. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions,

Regards,

Dimitrios

I need to get a load displacement for shaft and pile toe base. Actually, i have got some papers that mentioned to apply loading on the pile head. But i didn't understand how they got two curves (shaft and toe load-displacements). Could you please help me.

Thanks

Deeya

Pile resistance mobilises along the shaft and at the base with displacement, which involves shear mobilisation, compression and elastic shortening.

A good way to understand this is the T-Z approach.
