Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An approximate theory is presented for predicting the absolute and relative body deflections of shallow-buried shelters in order to provide the designer with a rational approach for selecting footing dimensions. The theory consists of two coupled parts, one that describes the motion of the free field and another that defines the motion of a model of the structure, its foundation, and the covering soil. The soil characteristics are represented by straight-line approximations to the loading and unloading portions of the stress-strain diagram from a one-dimensional compression test. Incremental strains are integrated as the stress wave propagates downward to obtain the absolute free-field displacement at the elevation of the footings. Motion of the structure is represented by a single-degree-of-freedom analog. Empirical functions are used to represent footing reaction and arching in the model of the structure. These functions are incorporated in the differential equation of motion, which is solved with the aid of a digital computer. The results are compared with available test data; velocities and deflections agree reasonably well but the magnitude of the peak accelerations from the theory are larger than the corresponding measurements. Computations performed with the computer code indicate that surface loads above about 100 psi cannot be resisted if the maximum relative deflection between the footing and the floor slab is limited to 2 inches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental and theoretical results are given that provide information on the influence of soil properties on the behavior of buried cylinders whose axes are parallel to the surface. Sand type, sand density, and cylinder stiffness were varied in 12 static tests on 5-inch-diameter thin-metal cylinders. The stiffness of these cylinders was less than that of others in the literature for which complete information on soil properties was available. The main contribution of the research presented is that it provides a unified method for determining deflections and the critical buckling load, both of which are based on the one-dimensional confined compression modulus measured in a standard laboratory test. This has not been done heretofore. Also, a relation for arching across buried cylinders is given which permits computation of the thrust at the haunches. Another feature of the work is the development of a matrix solution for determining the interface pressure distribution from measurements of strains in the cylinder. Thus, in effect, the cylinders can be used as biaxial soil pressure sensors. (Author).

Book excerpt: The report summarizes currently available knowledge of soil-structure interaction as it pertains to facilities that provide protection from nuclear weapons effects. The major subdivisions of the subject are discussed in sufficient detail to convey a general understanding of the subject and to provide key references. The recommended design methodology is illustrated for the horizontally oriented buried cylinder. A parallel approach is suggested for buried structures of other configurations. It is suggested that analysis of resulting designs be accomplished by the finite element method. Illustrations of two-dimensional and three-dimensional solutions by this method are given. (Author).

Book excerpt: It was evident that the passive pressures which developed on the sides played the dominant role in providing resistance. It has been found that in static tests some of the surface load is carried by arching through the soil. In the dynamic tests the inertial forces of the soil above the arch were found to be important. The inertial load overcame the soil shear resistance so that a load approximately equal to the surface load acted on the structure. A model analysis of the system and subsequent comparison of the deflections from the small-structure tests and the Operation Plumbbob Structure 3.3 tests indicate that modeling of deflections is possible.
