Book Experimental Investigation of the Behavior of Soil Under a Punch Or Footing

Download or read book Experimental Investigation of the Behavior of Soil Under a Punch Or Footing written by W. Sylwestrowicz and published by . This book was released on 1953 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiments are described which were designed to observe the 2-dimensional displacement field in the soil during the indentation of a punch or footing and also to construct the pressure-penetration curve relating the pressure of the punch into the soil. The experiments were conducted mainly with sand, although a few were performed by using a garden soil and the commercial modelling clay, Plasteline. A special container was constructed with removable side panels of 1/2-in.-thick glass. A grid system was produced on the side surface of the soil, and the deformation of grid system was observed and traced in the glass container. By taking photographs of different stages of the punch penetration and tracing from them the grid systems corresponding to each position of the punch, a displacement field was constructed and compared with that theoretically predicted. From the deformation of the grid system, some packing still appears to take place in the sand up to the maximum value of the pressure, although there is already present the movement of the sand in the directions which will produce the discontinuity layers in the next stage of deformation. The displacement field in the sand is in good agreement with the deformation field given by Shield (Mixed Boundary Value Problems in Soil Mechanics, to appear in Quart. Appl. Math.) and obtained as an alternative solution to Prandtl's solution. The increase in volume in the experiments seemed to correspond to the theoretical prediction which was computed for a very small movement of the punch, while the penetration was quite large in the experiments. Sand under the compression of a punch behaves differently than garden soil or Plasteline.

Book Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Structural Stability and Dynamics

Download or read book Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Structural Stability and Dynamics written by G. R. Liu and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2003 with total page 1083 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ICSSD 2002 is the second in the series of International Conferences on Structural Stability and Dynamics, which provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences in structural stability and dynamics among academics, engineers, scientists and applied mathematicians. Held in the modern and vibrant city of Singapore, ICSSD 2002 provides a peep at the areas which experts on structural stability and dynamics will be occupied with in the near future. From the technical sessions, it is evident that well-known structural stability and dynamic theories and the computational tools have evolved to an even more advanced stage. Many delegates from diverse lands have contributed to the ICSSD 2002 proceedings, along with the participation of colleagues from the First Asian Workshop on Meshfree Methods and the International Workshop on Recent Advances in Experiments and Computations on Modeling of Heterogeneous Systems. Forming a valuable source for future reference, the proceedings contain 153 papers ? including 3 keynote papers and 23 invited papers ? contributed by authors from all over the world who are working in advanced multi-disciplinary areas of research in engineering. All these papers are peer-reviewed, with excellent quality, and cover the topics of structural stability, structural dynamics, computational methods, wave propagation, nonlinear analysis, failure analysis, inverse problems, non-destructive evaluation, smart materials and structures, vibration control and seismic responses.The major features of the book are summarized as follows: a total of 153 papers are included with many of them presenting fresh ideas and new areas of research; all papers have been peer-reviewed and are grouped into sections for easy reference; wide coverage of research areas is provided and yet there is good linkage with the central topic of structural stability and dynamics; the methods discussed include those that are theoretical, analytical, computational, artificial, evolutional and experimental; the applications range from civil to mechanical to geo-mechanical engineering, and even to bioengineering.
