Pile Foundation Movements During Construction
Two case histories concern a shipyard wharf and work bay in Los Angeles harbor and an oil refinery expansion in Sumatra, Indonesia. The case histories provide further data on the nature...
Pile Foundation Design Using Pile Driving Analyzer
A case history of pile foundation design and construction for Pacific Bell's San Ramon Valley Administrative Complex is presented. Dynamic monitoring of driven piles with...
Role of a Standard in the Production of Drilled Shafts
The preparation of drawings and documents that describe the details of the installation of drilled shafts for a project requires an up-to-date standard. The role of the standard in the...
Geotechnical Perspective?Proposed Drilled Shaft Standard
In the writer's understanding, a standard is an agreed upon manual of practice and as such, sets the level of performance and attainment considered adequate. A standard is...
ASCE Drilled Shaft Standard: University Perspective
A critique is presented of the proposed ASCE standard on drilled shafts. Areas where major work is necessary relate primarily to the shaft design sections, establishment of loads, and...
Standards and the Contractor
The International Association of Drilled Shaft Contractors have written their own standards and have cooperated with other groups in similar activities. The author gives his ideas about...
Government Agency Perspective on Standard for Drilled Shafts
Relative to the proposed ASCE standard for Design and Construction of Drilled Shafts, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) would be considered an 'owner'. However,...
Numerical Analysis of Two Embankment Foundations
Two case histories of the performance of a compressible embankment foundation are analyzed using the Cam-Clay constitutive model and a finite element consolidation program. The I-95 highway...
Logan Airport Re-Visited
The first detailed evaluation of self-weight consolidation of a large hydraulic clay fill was performed during the construction of Logan Airport in Boston nearly 40 years ago. The paper...
Consolidation of Permafrost upon Thawing
Methods of predicting initial consolidation upon thawing and the subsequent consolidation with time under increasing pressures are presented in terms of changes in unit weight. Procedures...
Dredged Slurry Stabilization for Seagirt Marine Terminal
The Seagirt Marine Terminal is constructed on reclaimed land on dredged spoil from the I-95 Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland. Three stabilization procedures considered applicable...
Dredging Developments in the Canadian Arctic
The use of dredges in the Canadian Arctic in connection with oil exploration programmes has lead to the adaptation of existing and adoption of new techniques. Further development is required...
Placing of Impermeable Underwater Membranes
An impermeable underwater membrane has been applied successfully in the construction of a lowered road section in the Netherlands. In this paper the construction technique is discussed...
Settlement and Stability of Ocean Disposal Mounds
This study examines the engineering behavior of dredged material disposal mounds in Long Island Sound. The study area is located about eight miles off the coast of New Haven where several...
An Offshore Mound Constructed of Dredged Material
The concept of using dredged material to intentionally construct an underwater mound was tested and confirmed at the Dam Neck Disposal Site, 4 miles offshore Virginia Beach, Virginia....
A Nebraska Power District's Experience in Stabilizing by Silt Injection
The structures, rolled earth and concrete, of the Central Nebraska Project are constructed on foundations of loessial soils that range from a few feet to more than 100 feet in depth. The...
Analysis and Design of Pile Foundations
Piles are one of the oldest type of foundation system known to man and as such have been previously studied in depth based on available modeling and monitoring techniques. An increased...
Practical Guidelines for the Selection, Design and Installation of Piles
This report provides an objective practical basis for the design and construction of pile foundations. Potential problems and uncertainties in pile design and construction are emphasized....
Ports 83
The Ports '83 Specialty Conference, whose theme is Modernization, Upgrading and Repairs, covers considerations in port operations, design and construction due to obsolescence...
