LOAD SETTLEMENT RELATIONSHIPS OF CIRCULAR FOOTING CONSIDERING DILATANCY CHARACTERISTICS OF DENSE SAND

Bearing capacity of shell strip footing on reinforced sand

In this paper, the ultimate load capacities of shell foundations on unreinforced and reinforced sand were determined by laboratory model tests. A series of loading tests were carried out on model shell footing with and without single layer of reinforcement. The tests were done for shell foundation at different shell embedment depth and subgrade density. The results were compared with those for ...

A field investigation of vertical footing response on sand

on translation of phatic communion and socio-cultural relationships between the characters of the novels

phatic communion is a cultural concept which differs across cultures. according to hofstede (2001), the u.s. tends to have individualistic culture; however, asian countries tend to have collectivistic cultures. these cultures view phatic communion differently. in individualistic cultures like u.s., phatic communion reflects speakers’ socio-cultural relationships in conversations. to see whether...

Flowing resistance and dilatancy of dense suspensions: lubrication and repulsion

Assessment of Changes in Shear Strength Parameters for Soils below Circular Machine Foundation

This paper focuses on the response of circular machine foundation resting on different soils (sand and clay) through studying the variation of soil shear strength parameters and strain with the number of cycles. The objective of the current study is to explore the results related to the parameters of the dynamic load (number of loading cycles and frequency of load) related to the circular footi...
