Numerical investigation of load transfer mechanisms in slopes reinforced with piles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
The objective of the work is to use numerical analyses to evaluate the limit soil pressure on piles, to evaluate the load transfer mechanism, and to evaluate alternative means for estimating mobilized and limit loads on ...
Within-site variability and reliability of foundation designs based on load tests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Probabilistic evaluations of the reliability of foundation designs based on site-specific load test information are somewhat limited in number. Published evaluations have generally relied on Bayesian techniques. A primary ...
Axial load transfer in large scale physical model drilled shaft foundations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Drilled shaft foundations are a widely implemented type of deep foundation used to support heavy loads from superstructures such as buildings and bridges. Uncertainties exist in the axial load transfer behavior of drilled ...
A constitutive model for fiber-reinforced soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Fiber inclusion to improve the properties of compacted soil is becoming increasingly common in geotechnical engineering projects. However, the technique requires extensive testing on soil and fiber samples before it can ...
Load transfer in micropiles for slope stabilization from tests of large-scale physical models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The objective of this work is to provide experimental data to improve prediction of limit loads for micropiles in slope stabilization applications. The experimental data were obtained from tests of 1-g model slopes 8 ft ...
Laboratory load tests of side shear for axially loaded piles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Results from the laboratory testing program suggest that HPX-piles have approximately 10 percent greater side shear capacity than conventional HP-piles, on average. Unit side shear and the side shear parameter [beta] for ...
Processing of synthetic aperture radar data as applied to the characterization of localized deformation features
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Satellite-based Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) has been used by the geoscience community for many years to obtain ground deformation measurements of large-scale spatial features. Researchers have also ...
Numerical analysis of pile group within moving soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A coupled soil-pile interaction analysis method for pile groups within moving soil is proposed and implemented in a new computer program MU-PILE-GROUP. ...
Load transfer in reticulated and non-reticulated micropiles from large-scale tests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Using micropiles for slope stabilization is a proven technique but there are many uncertainties with how load is transferred from the soil to the structural elements. A large-scale model was constructed to test model slopes ...
Decision support for slope construction and repair activities: an asset management building block
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The objective of this research was to develop a support system to facilitate appropriate decision making for construction, maintenance, and repair of earth slopes along transportation rights of way. The system was to be ...
Response of micropiles in earth slopes from large-scale physical model tests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Micropiling is an efficient method used for stabilizing the problematic slopes. However, load transfer in micropiles is not well understood when the load is applied by the soil movement. The objective of this research is ...
Investigation of load transfer models for recycled plastic reinforcement for slope stabilization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Slope failures are not only hazardous to the public, but they are also costly to maintain and repair. A field testing program involving five test sites has been executed in an effort to develop better design practices for ...
Reliability of shallow foundations designed using LRFD considering uncertainty from different numbers of strength measurements
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Target level of reliability for design of bridge foundations and approach embankments using LRFD
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Load and resistance factor design of drilled shafts in shale using SPT and TCP measurements
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) designers currently follow American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) design methods for design of drilled shafts in shale and other weak rock. ...
Development of p- and y- multipliers for design of slope stabilizing piles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Slope failures can arise from many factors and such failures can have a big impact on public and private infrastructure. Drilled shafts have been used ...
