Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 36 (thesis year 1991) a total of 11,024 thesis titles from 23 Canadian and 161 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 36 reports theses submitted in 1991, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Design of Short Drilled Shaft Foundations in High plasticity Clay Under Inclined Loading

Download or read book Design of Short Drilled Shaft Foundations in High plasticity Clay Under Inclined Loading written by Thornchaya Wejrungsikul and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drilled shaft foundations are primarily used to support structures such as bridge piers, towers, buildings, transmission towers, and roadway median cable barriers. Generally, the main characteristics of drilled shafts are to transfer the loads to the stronger subsoil layers in the vertical direction and also their ability to withstand lateral movements from lateral loads applied. Though the design of shafts is well established with respect to combinations of loads and moments, their behavior under pullout type inclined loading is not well established. The inclined load applied is the combination of lateral and uplift loads applied at the same time and structures such as ends of cable barriers and transmission towers that are supported by the drilled shafts. This dissertation research mainly focuses on the use of drilled shafts supporting at the ends of the cable median barrier systems. These shafts play an important role in protecting the integrity of the cables thereby reducing cross-over collisions at highway medians. Several foundation problems were recorded in north Texas when drilled shafts were used to connect all the cables of the cable barrier systems. During December 2006 to February 2007, several foundation failures of three cable median barrier were observed in Kaufman County near Dallas without any traffic related vehicular impacts (Heady, 2008). Preliminary investigation of foundation failures showed that failed drilled shafts were located in a high plasticity clay environment. Causes of failures are attributed to cold temperature induced shrinkage in the cables that might have significantly increased the tensions in them. Other factors consist of soil saturation from prolonged rainfall events and also potential use of smaller size drilled shafts at the site. In order to fully understand the causes of failures, the present dissertation research was performed. As a part of this research, various sizes of drilled shafts were designed and constructed in a clayey soil environment similar to the one where foundation distress was observed. Geotechnical sampling and laboratory testing were performed and the test results showed different soil layers including high plasticity clayey soil near the ground surface. Soil strength properties for both unsaturated (field condition) and saturated conditions were determined and these results are used in the analysis of field test results to deduce the causes of foundation distress. A new load test setup for the application of an inclined tensile loading on the drilled shaft was designed to simulate the natural field loading condition exerted by the cables. The capacities of different sizes of drilled shafts from field test were tested and measured with this setup and these results showed that the dimensions of reaction test piers and spacings used between reaction and test piers have yielded results that are not influenced by the boundary effects or reaction shaft movements. All load tests were conducted until the foundations reached failure. Test results were analyzed with both uplift capacity and lateral capacity analyses models proposed by many researchers as well as Finite Element Method (FEM) based numerical modeling in understanding the behaviors of drilled shafts under the inclined loading. After obtaining good simulation results, the analytical models are further used for various hypothetical foundation dimensions and for different undrained shear strengths of soils. These test results are used to develop foundation design charts for inclined loading conditions. Both the selection of a specific design chart and its use are explained. Additionally, drilled shaft construction guidelines for cable barrier systems and recommendation for periodic maintenance are provided.
