Settlement and Deformation Response of a Bridge Footing on a Sloped Fill
The problem of settlement of spread footings located within or near granular slopes has been investigated in the laboratory using a large testing facility. Based on these results, footings...
Load-Settlement Prediction of Footings on Steep Slopes
The use of spread footings on slopes is a common practice in the design of bridge foundations. Footings are generally constructed in the slope or at its crest to minimize the bridge length,...
Stress and Settlement of Footings in Sand
In current engineering practice, the magnitude of the settlement of a footing in sand, as compared to the settlement of a different size footing in the same sand, is considered to be a...
Load Settlement curve Method for Spread Footings of Sand
A newly developed method is presented to predict the complete load settlement curve for square spread footings on sand loaded at their center with a vertical load and with an embedment...
Test and Prediction Results for Five Spread Footings on Sand
A separate volume summarizes this prediction symposium. It is available from ASCE in New York and is entitled as listed above. This prediction event took place during the conference and...
Predicted and Measured Behavior of Five Spread Footings on Sand
This publication contains the results of a full scale load testing program used to predict and measure the bahavior of five spread footings on sand. These results were presented at the...
The Influence of Exposed Footings on Pier Scour Depths
Data compiled from past test efforts are combined in this article with the results of two new flume test studies. The combined material, presented graphically, suggests a method for adjusting...
Keeping Cables Calm
Cable vibration and corrosion are potential problems relating to cable-stayed bridges. Nonetheless, owners think their structural elegance is worth it, and increasingly longer cable-stayed...
Laboratory Evaluation of Footings for Lunar Telescopes
Presented here are the results of laboratory experiments with different footing shapes for lunar telescopes. These experiments used a variety of soils including some to simulate regolith...
Design of a Support and Foundation for a Large Lunar Optical Telescope
NASA is considering a large lunar telescope [LLT] and a smaller diameter precursor telescope experiment on the Moon. The preliminary design of the 16-meter optical aperture is being performed...
Dynamic Wind Loads
This chapter is concerned with the motions of cable stayed bridges that arise as a result of wind action. The aerodynamic phenomena that must be considered are vortex shedding, torsional...
Experimental Study of Adfreeze Heaving of Augered Caisson Footings
In order to establish the required depth of augered caisson-type footings in cold regions and their optimal design against adfreeze heaving, an experimental field investigation has been...
Settlement of Footings on Sands?Accuracy and Reliability
Twelve methods of estimating settlements of footings on sand were evaluated by comparing calculated settlements with measured settlements. Each of the methods was evaluated in terms of...
Eilat?A Paradise of Coast and Sealife
This paper describes the development of the existing lagoon in Eilat, Israel, into a modern marina and the dredging of two new lagoons. The existing lagoon was dredged and developed some...
Calendar: Bridges 1992
Featured bridges are: Fifficktown Bridge (PA); Crooked River (High) Bridge (OR); High Bridge (KY); Fort Benton Bridge (MT); Linden Street Bridge (MA); Rogue River (Caveman) Bridge (OR);...
Reliability-Based Analysis of Shallow Foundations
The effects of different parameters on the reliability of shallow foundations are examined. It is found that the footing depth, the footing length, and the load ratio have almost no effect...
Settlement of Strip Foundations on Regularly Jointed Rock Masses
The analysis of a long, rigid strip foundation resting on the surface of a regularly jointed rock mass is presented. Two models of the overall rock mass are investigated; one in which...
Rectangular Footing on Nonhomogeneous Elastic Half Space
The problem of a rectangular footing or a strip footing on a nonhomogeneous elastic half space is studied in this paper. The medium is assumed to be isotropic with a variable shear modulus...
Effect of Void on Footing Behavior Under Eccentric and Inclined Loads
The effect of underground void on the behavior of strip footings subjected to eccentric and inclined loads was investigated using the finite element method of analysis. Results of the...
Full Scale Foundation Trials on Grid Reinforced Clay
The paper describes the results of full-scale testing of strip footings on an alluvial clay site. Existing theory is briefly discussed but shown to be of little relevance to the consolidation...
