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...
I have a structure (3-story) proposed at about 2 to 2.5 meters from a retaining wall. I am concerned about normal deflections of walls during active loading conditions that will provoke settlements on strucuture (Poisson's constant effect). Is designing for at rest condition a solution to...
Do you know if there is any empirical correlation, paper or research on obtaing c' from SPT data. If you can give some light about; i'm trying to do a slope stability analysis. I know how to estimate peak phi, but, how can I estimate c'. I don't think it should be equal to zero when working...
I know from literature review that liquefied sands offer negligible resistance to piles under lateral loads though some pseudostatic approaches, reduced PY methods (Liu, Dobry and Wilson) and undrained shear strength approach (Wang and Reese), among others have been proposed. Recent research...
My doubt is simple. Can pavement debris be used as engineering fill even it classifies A-2-4? I mean, does this material develop the same stregth as an A-4 when compacted to more than 95% Modified Proctor?
People; I have an old surcharge placed over soft soils and we would like to know, if possible, how can we determine de consolidation degree from consolidation tests?
