Dear colleagues, I wonder if someone can direct me to a technical document where I can find recommendations of the practical use of dowels in RTG cranes runways.
Thanks a lot.
Hello there:
I am trying to get the PAVE 2008 software to disign rigid pavements.
I have tried to find it in the WEB unsuccesfully.
I hope you can guide me in order to get this software.
I appreciate your help
Thanks
[b]Dear colleagues, any suggestion to broadly estimate the embedding which can report a breakwater built on a seabed composed of loose sand, N from 2 to 8 blows, and 8 to 10 m thick.
By "embedding" I mean the effect of shifting sandy soil due the falling speed of rock fragments on the seabed...
Dear colleges
About the Allpile program, I wonder if someone knows the criteria (author) used in order to evaluate the bearing capacity for drilled shafts in rocks. Unfortunately the available manual does not have an updated version. The program measures the bearing capacity from an initial...
Someone knows if there is a splice type in precast concrete piles that, at same time, allows the use of jetting water in order to facilitate the installation?
I am talking about 60 cm (24”) square piles and 40 m length.
Thankyou
Dear colleagues, somebody can tell me how to get a copy of the "Third Edition of the British Ports Association Heavy Duty Pavement Design Manual ". I have already tried, without success, with the British Association. I also tried to see the "Background to the Third Edition" from the Eng...
Dear Colleges:
In order to evaluate an admissible lateral load, according to your experience, what could be an allowable lateral displacement for the pile head of a mooring dolphin?. In my case I have 20 m depth of water.
Thanks for your comments.
Dear Colleagues, someone knows if apart from the Pile Dynamics, Inc., there is other company that manufactures equipment to develop dynamic load testing and pile driving monitoring (Pile Driving Analyzer, PDA).
Thank you
Dear Colleagues, I wonder if someone can help me to complete de vibratory hammer formula proposed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in its Pile Driving Equipment paper, EI 02G001 01 July 1997. A problem with a font avoids the right reading. Thanks.
Dear Colleagues, I wonder if some of you can suggest me some commercial program for the consolidation settlement analysis. I have the initial idea of acquiring the “Settlement” Software from FINE Ltd., what is your opinion?.
Dear colleagues, regarding the construction of drilled shafts, often below water level, is there some kind of recommendation about the relationship between long/wide of the pile (L/B) that allows to minimize slenderness problems?
Thank you for your comments
Dear Colleagues. There is some recommendation about the lateral maximum deflexion that can be acceptable in the design of wharves and floating piers, when they are subject to an horizontal load?
Thank you for your comments
Any colleague has some reference about the reduction of friction or adherence between soil and concrete pipe when using an epoxic paint. The referred pipe is 2 m diameter and it belongs to a drainage project for what will be installed horizontally using hydraulic jacks. The intention of painting...
Dear colleagues
Somebody can provide me bibliography about the use of chains and dead men to fix or to anchor floating docks when the marine channel is rocky and it is not practical the employment of guide piles.
Thank you
Dear colleagues, in order to carry out dredged works in a conglomerate the employment of explosive were not allowed; however, it was possible to remove it applying an apparently liquid “substance” that was able to fracture the rock and made easier their later removal. Does somebody know this...
Dear Colleagues: I have a dense sand layer (N>50 blows) with a thickness from 2.5 to 4 m, underlain by a weak sand (N 10 to 20 blows). In the case of using a piled foundation, Meyerhof (1976) recommends to reduce the pile tip resistance of the hard stratum according to a proportional relation...
Dear Colleagues, someone can recommend me a book or a paper where I can find something about the geotechnical design of ballast and subgrade for railroads.
Thankyou
Dear colleagues, do you believe that a saturated clay stratum with a consistency among stiff to very stiff even hard in some points, and I mean where N oscillates between 15 and 30 blows and some points up to 35 blows, could be dredged combining the suction and a disintegration jet? Or one...
I wonder if somebody has experience in driving concrete piles through an earthfill structure formed by particles between 2 and 10”. The piles would support a wharf and the earthfill structure would support the filler in the back of the wharf. The eartfill structure would have a thickness from...
Dear colleagues: Do you think is possible that a stratum of crushed clamshell with little fine sand, can also experience the liquefaction failure when it is subject to an earthquake?. The deposit of crushed clamshell is in the sea, near the coast, with a maximum size of 5 to 6 mm, and it has a...
