Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 335 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 1957, 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 volume were handled by an international 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 26 (thesis year 1981) a total of 11 ,048 theses titles from 24 Canadian and 21 8 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 26 reports theses submitted in 1981, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Records of Load Tests on Friction Piles

Download or read book Records of Load Tests on Friction Piles written by National Research Council (U.S.). Highway Research Board. Committee on Bridges and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results are presented of 412 load tests compiled in a condensed form. the records are classified and indexed in accordance with type of pile, general type of soil, and locality. By means of these indices, records can be located that may be of interest in judging the probable behavior of piling under somewhat similar conditions. Load-settlement curves corresponding to the individual tests are shown in pile test data sheets. Results of various load tests have been compared on the basis of the shear strength actually developed between the pile and the soil during the tests. The shear strength has been calculated by dividing the failure load in each test by the embedded area of the pile. In the case of h-piles the embedded areas have been calculated on the assumption that failure occurs on the sides of the rectangular prism enclosing the pile section. Results of these calculations are presented.

Book Axial Load Tests and Analysis for Open ended Steel Tubular Piles Driven Into Weathered Rock

Download or read book Axial Load Tests and Analysis for Open ended Steel Tubular Piles Driven Into Weathered Rock written by Yi Han and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bearing capacity of tubular, open-ended steel piles driving into weathered rock was investigated using static load tests, finite element analysis and dynamic load tests. Dynamic load tests were carried out by using the Case Method and the CAPWAP Method which were used to determine the bearing capacity of piles. The effects of final set, pile burial length, setup and other factors on the pile bearing capacity were evaluated. In the static load tests, two piles with 0.813 m diameter and one pile with a diameter of 1.0 m were tested. The finite element analysis was performed to back calculate the load-displacement response of piles. A hyperbolic model for soils and an elastic-plastic model for rocks were used in the study. A parametric study was also carried out. The issues, such as the effects of pile installation and soil plug, were discussed.

Book Rapid Load Testing on Piles

Download or read book Rapid Load Testing on Piles written by Paul Holscher and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-08-28 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To obtain data about the stiffness and bearing capacity of a foundation pile, the Rapid Load Test could be an effective and economic alternative for a static load test. In order to judge this, the influence of rate effects in clay and pore water pressures in sand should first be understood. This book presents the latest developments in the research

Book Compilation of Benchmark Lateral Load Tests on Piles in Sand and Clay

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a compilation of 14 lateral load tests on piles in sands and clays. It serves as a benchmark for comparison of tests results to analysis. Each case study has pile section properties and soil characteristics. Each set of data contains the loading applied and the measured response.

Book Dynamic Pile Testing Technology

Download or read book Dynamic Pile Testing Technology written by Robert Y. Liang and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven piles are widely used as foundations to support buildings, bridges, and other structures. In 2007, AASHTO has adopted LRFD method for foundation design. The probability based LRFD approach affords the mathematical framework from which significant improvements on the design and quality control of driven piles can be achieved. In this research, reliability-based quality control criteria for driven piles are developed based on the framework of acceptance-sampling analysis for both static and dynamic test methods with the lognormal distribution characteristics. As a result, an optimum approach is suggested for the number of load tests and the required measured capacities for quality control of driven piles. Furthermore, this research has compiled a large database of pile set-up, from which the reliability-based approach of FORM is employed to develop separate resistance factors for the measured reference (initial) capacity and predicted set-up capacity. This report also provides a Bayesian theory based approach to allow for combining the information from the static pile capacity calculation and dynamic pile testing data to improve pile design process. Specifically, the results from dynamic pile tests can be utilized to reduce the uncertainties associated with static analysis methods of pile capacity by updating the corresponding resistance factors. This research has also developed one-dimensional wave equation based algorithm to interpret the High Strain Testing (HST) data for the estimation of the shaft and toe resistance of driven piles. The closed form solution is obtained for determining the Smith damping factor and the static soil resistance. Finally, a set of new wireless dynamic testing equipment (both hardware and software) is developed for more efficient dynamic pile testing.
