Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saturated undrained triaxial tests and air dry torsional shear tests were carried out on several sands. Two rates of strain were used, approxi mately 1000%/sec. and 3%/sec. These tests clear ly showed that dilation of sand increases with an increase of strain-rate. These tests also showed that the greatest effect of strain-rate on strength in sand occurs when the restraint of dilation is stiffest. In undrained saturated triaxial sts the strength increase due to in crease of strain-rate can be as high as 30 per cent. No pronounced effect of strain-rate on fraction angle was observed. (Author).

Download or read book Effect of Saturation on Dynamic Response of Footings in Sand written by Jack K. Poplin and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation was undertaken to determine the effect of saturation of dense sand on the response of square footings to nuclear blast-type loading. Tests were conducted with footings on the surface and at a depth of burial equal to the footing width with a water table coincident with the plane of the footing. The results of these tests were compared with data from similar tests on dry sand from a preceding study. Saturation of dense sand had the effect of reducing maximum displacement. The displacements of surface footings were only about 30 percent of the displacement of footings on dry sand with equivalent soil density and loading condition, and the displacement of shallow buried footings was reduced by 50 percent. Empirical load-displacement curves developed from previous studies on dry sand were shown to be conservative when used to predict the response of footings on saturated dense sand. The primary difference in response occurred after peak reaction. The footings on saturated dense sand came to rest immediately, while footings on dry sand continued to displace for some short distance. This behavior was attributed to the development of transient negative pore pressures resulting from dilation of the sand. A similar laboratory investigation on a medium-density sand is recommended in order to determine whether or not any tendency toward liquefaction may occur at the lower end of the range of densities of interest for protective structure foundations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This conference brought together specialists in cyclic soil behaviour in order to discuss important results and new ideas in the field, and to share expertise in design of various problems involving cyclic or dynamic behaviour of soils. This book covers a variety of topics: * Theory and analysis, including constitutive relations of soil under cyclic loading, post-seismic stability analysis of soil/structure, dynamic stability of structures, liquefaction analysis of marine structures due to cyclic loading, and more * Cyclic and dynamic laboratory and model testing, centrifuge testing and in-situ testing. * Numerical analysis, including computer methods * Design of industrial applications and marine structures, installation methods of piles, vibrocompaction, densification of ballast in railway structures, case studies of earthquakes and post-liquefaction observations.

Book excerpt: This book presents a complete and comprehensive analysis of the behaviour of granular materials including the description of experimental results, the different ways to define the global behaviour from local phenomena at the particle scale, the various modellings which can be used for a D.E.M. analysis to solve practical problems and finally the analysis of strain localisation. The concepts developed in this book are applicable to many kinds of granular materials considered in civil, mechanical or chemical engineering.
