    For probabilistic analysis is there a way to assign a return period for a Probable Maximum Flood

    Hi, I need to define a return period for the probable maximum flood (PMF). From the hidrology i have the return period vs volume from 5 to 10.000 years. I also have the PMF volume. What would you recommend? Fitting a curve with log or other type? Is there any literature that talks discusses PMF...

    Stabilization of sand dune in seismic zones

    Hello, I want to hear your thought of doing a cut in a sand dune of 100 m height with natural slope of 2H:1V. We need to cut for a road about 8 m, and then use a 2V:1H slope. The soil is a SP-SM sand dune, very loose. What kind of stabilization system (ie. soil nailings) would you recommend...

    Undrained shear strength

    Hello there, i was wondering if someone could help me interpreting this triaxial undrained test. I need to obtain the undrained shear strength (Su) in terms of the effective vertical pressure: Su/Sigma'v. Also cohesion and friction angle. Im attaching the spreadsheet with the results. Thanks...

    Bearing capacity of a high plasticity silt (MH)

    Hi guys, what would you suggest to use for determing bearing capacity of shallow foundations on a high plasticity silt? The in situ permeability test were about 1E-04 cm/s. Water table is about 4 meters deep. Would you use drained or undrained analysis? The results from the undrained triaxial...

    Consolidation

    Hi, i need to calculate primary consolidation settlement for a 100 meters NC clay (GS=2,71 Ysat =1,75 ton/m3), with no soil above, and a very granular soil beneath the clay strata. The surcharge is 0,25 kg/cm2. I also need to calculate the time for 50% and 90% of consolidation. Im attaching...
