I want to find out if anyone has used sonic core drilling for soil sampling for geotechnical purposes. I know its used a lot for environmental work but I am interested in its usefulness for geotechnical subsurface characterization. Conventional drilling and sampling will be done (this is s...
In Principles of Geotechnical Engineering by Das, the lateral stress due to a strip laod is given by:
Sigma(x)=2q[Beta-{Sin(Beta)(Cos(Beta))}]/H
Where H is the height of the wall. Intutively, it seems that the lateral pressure/stress from a given loading, a given distance from the wall should...
