I recently passed the Principles and Practice portion in NY. I have mixed experience including over 2 yrs site / storm, 1 yr of grad school, and 1.5 yrs structural (although most would label it as geotechnical).
I took the geotechnical afternoon portion. What kind of experience level geotech...
Looking at the PTI for Rock and Soil Anchors Commentary section C6.7.1-7.2, I read that bond lengths for rock should be limited to 35 ft. While in soil, the limit is 50 ft. The reason is "inefficiencies".
The inefficiencies I thought up were in the construction process as result of economic...
Anyone know of a good reference to look up for finding Growth Factors to calculate ESALs? Probably something from AASHTO or maybe something else.
I am pretty clueless with traffic.
Anything on the Internet?
Thanks,
I am studying up on for the April 16, 2010 Exam. I have the Civil Engineering Ref Manual 10th ed. and the 6 Minute Solutions: Geotechnical.
For a problem with the GWT between the surface and the foot base, The CERM advises to subtract 62.4 from the dry unit weight before multiplying by the...
I have a boring report showing a site on loose to medium sand with no groundwater present. There were borings done in the street at an earlier date with groundwater found at 20 ft below the surface. I know there is not much engineering involved for a 2 family house. The build area is proposed...
I am a Civil Engineer by general profession. I have a general bachelor's degree as well as a Master's degree. I have been out of work for 11 months as I was laid off January 19,2009. I am sure January 19,2010 will come along without anything on my plate.
I have more than 3.5 years mixed...
I am involved in fixing a concrete bulkhead wall that is along a tidal water channel. The owner of the channel is sensitive to the construction. Over the bulkhead wall is an abandoned set of railroad siding and proposed building setback about 90ft from the channel.
The wall is in disrepair...

I asked this question a week ago in the Automotive Engineering field to no avail. 'Might as well try it here.

I am analyzing the effects from vehicles, and vice versa, on a multispan bridge deck that has been plagued by long term creep. As a result, the deck has taken the shape of a sinusoidal wave. One of the vehicles is a 600# motorcycle and rider system. What would be a good k value (#/in) for them?
I am using the Fortran Program Shake 91 to plot acceleration spectra and simulate a ground motion. Looking at charts and tables, my Amax in the input file is .057g. The output file does not generate enough data at that acceleration. If I change my Amax, to .1g and above, I get the output that I...
I purchased Foundation Analysis and Design 5thed by Joseph E. Bowles. I also got the 1.44 diskette that comes with it. I want to try it out, but my computer doesn't have a floppy drive. Does anyone know where there's a downloadable version on the net? Or, does Bowles have an email address...
