Abstract This research was conducted to reinforce the sheet pile located on embankment of Ciliwung Lama river – Inspection Road (RSCM) in Central Jakarta. The road is beside riverbanks collapsed for 40 m and position that slopes towards river. Based field observations analysis stability carried out, road’s collapse not due unstableness but inability receive lateral soil pressure. method used Pl...

Large landslides exhibit surprisingly long runout distances compared to a rigid body sliding from the same slope, and the mechanism of this phenomena has been studied for decades. This paper shows that the observed long runouts can be explained quite simply via a granular pile flowing downhill, while collapsing and spreading, without the need for frictional weakening that has traditionally been...

A fine analysis of the statistics of dry granular avalanches in a rotating drum setup reveals that, beyond the fluctuations, the angle at which an avalanche ends is correlated experimentally to the angle at which the avalanche starts. This correlation resulting from inertia defines an intermediate "neutral" angle that characterizes the corresponding granular pile. In addition, an intensive stud...

It is proposed to use a single base platform in the Persian Gulf considering its low depth and more appropriate environmental conditions in comparison to North Sea and Mexico Gulf where this kind of platform is very popular. The pile of platform is responsible for transmission of environmental loads resulted from waves, currents, wind and dead loads to foundation of platform. Using SACS 5.3 sof...

We present exact results for the contact forces in a three dimensional static piling of identical, sti and frictionless spheres. The pile studied is a pyramid of equilateral triangular base (“stack of cannonballs”) with a FCC (face centered cubic) structure. We show in particular that, as for the two dimensional case, the pressure on the base of such a pile is uniform. c © 1999 Elsevier Science...

The belled anchor pile has proficient application in the field of geotechnical engineering as because its enlarged base can bear more compressive loads and large volume of breakout soil within slip surface move upward under tension. The bell anchor pile can be used in case of on-land and off-shore structures where there is a threat to overturning of structures due to external tension loads. The...

The support system is the most important part of foundation pit engineering, which mainly determines safety engineering. Based on characteristics Changsha international financial center, original pile-anchor-beam (PAB) improved into a new form system, pile-anchor-ribbed-beam (PARB) system. This study establishes numerical simulation model to calculate surface settlement and deformation retainin...

Expansive soils exist in many countries worldwide, and their characteristics make them exceedingly difficult to engineer. Due its significant swelling shrinkage characteristics, expansive soil defies of the stabilization solutions available engineers. Differential heave or settlement occurs when swells shrinks, causing severe damage foundations, buildings, roadways, retaining structures. In suc...
