    Franki Pile Design

    I am not sure, but you may found something in the Driven Manual. You may download it free from FHWA webpage.

    Laterally Loaded Battered Micropiles

    You are right when concluding that the low stiffness of the element is what governs. Micropiles, even battered, will no add any significant lateral capacity. Have tried to considered passive forces on footings or pilecap? Use a factor of safety if so...

    Help

    Normally the higher the LL, the lower the internal friction angle (phi)therefore the more susceptible to slope failure. Nevertheless, slope stability analyses are a very delicate geotechnical matter and shall always be evaluated by a geotechnical professional. Slope stability depends on slope...

    Most suitable fill material

    The stiffer the material the better expected performance. Anyway, why the old pool is distressed? If it is due to poor subgrade material or settlement problems (in the case that pool is over fill or upgrading fill was placed behind pool walls) you may have the same problem in the future. If...

    Constant vs Falling Head Permeability

    If clayey content is so that permeability of material is highly reduced I suggest to perform falling head tests. This method is usually perform for soils having a permeability in the range of 5x10^-5 and 10^-3 cm/s.

    Landifill Cover Stability

    Typically, landfill slopes for closure are recommended not to be steeper than 3:1 with an earth liner consisting of an intermediate cover 0.15m, clay type soils with conductivity of 10e-5 cm/s or less and top soil. Besides global stability considerations, infinite plane stability is of concern...

    Rocscience Slide help

    I pretty sure you wont be able to do that. What you may do is to perform the typical analyses and then indicate the program to plot only surfaces with FOS between, for instance, 1.4 to 1.5.

    Newmark analysis

    There is no a fix allowable deformation and dont know your project scenario. Usually, you estimate the deformation in order to design a structure to tolerate estimated deformation.

    Friction angle of crushed rock

    The angle of internal friction of a crushed stone will be directly influenced by type of rock and grain size. Forty-one (41) seems to me possible, but dangerous. I would use a safe 36 degrees unless a direct shear test is performed on a sample.

    Evaluation of thermal properties of soil

    If you are trying to detect the fires of your landfill, i did once with an infrared camera that detect changes in temperatures. Literally, like the Predator technology. A grid was marked a the landfill surfaces in order to delimit fire concentrations.
