    R value, and abutment stiffness for a precast 2 span simple bridge

    Hello, For a 2 span simple precast girder bridge, I must find the column seismic forces and abutment bearing movement, in both with or without abutment stiffness options. The bridge concrete deck rests on 10 girders and the rubber supports are given as expansive at abutments, and fixed at bridge...

    cyclic vs sudden earthquake loading

    Hello. In DM 7_03, it says the following: "In saturated loose to medium compact granular soils seismic shocks may produce unacceptable shear strains. These strains may be the result of shear stresses exceeding the strength of a soil that softens beyond peak shear strength. The high shear...

    reducing effects of soil expansion

    In order to prevent soil expansion have effect on structure, measures such as draining water away from the structure and locating foundations below the level of water fluctuation can be counted. Any other very common methods? Also, the ones above answer how to prevent it. But what measures are...

    CD test formula vs Kp

    sorry i didnt understand. are you able to expand your explanation a little further, or this is as simple as it gets? if so thanks so much anyway and I will keep checking

    CD test formula vs Kp

    For the triaxial CD test, (σ_1^')/(σ_3^' )= (1+sin⁡〖∅'〗)/(1-sin⁡〖∅'〗 ) The term on the right side of the equaition resembles the Kp lateral earth pressure coefficient. I want to understand why is this so. Is it because Kp relates the vertical force to horizontal force, and here at the triaxial...

    Surcharge

    the surcharge is the load divided by area. so divide 20 tonnes by the area of the plant and you have your surcharge. then you will need to apply the formula for the lateral pressure, to find out the pressure generated by that surcharge to your excavation.
