Does anyone know of a good book for soil corrosion test methods, evaluation of soil corrosion for various material types, and design principals for passive and active protection systems?
Thanks in advance.
I am interested to re-use 63 existing caissons (i.e., drilled shafts)that supported a previoius building. The shaft diamters range from 3.0 to 4.5 feet and the bell diameter ranage from 5.5 to 8.0 feet. As built drawings indicate caissons constructed on sound bedrock for an allowable bearing...
I am proposing a axially-loaded 30-inch diameter drilled shaft adjacent to a tunnel wall. The drilled shaft is designed for end bearing of 5 tsf. The length of the drilled shaft will be 50 feet. The bottom of the tunnel is at a depth of 40 feet and the height of the arched tunnel is 10 feet...
Does anyone know the typical range of costs for foam concrete? I am interested in using as lightwieght fill around and under large water storage tanks to reduce settlement and reduce downdrag on auger cast piles. With this option, it would be 70,156 cubic yards of foam concrete from an onsite...
I am developing a low retaining wall to be supported by micropiles. The plan is to weld studs to the micropiles and affix concrete panels. Does anyone have details for this or a source for details? I very interested in a detail for the connection. The wall will serve as a scour protection...
I am looking to rent or buy a Shaft Inspection Device (SID) with all the accesories including the bell, compressed gas cylinder, cable, wench, video recorder, etc. Do you know of anyone that has this equipment available?
I have a site with an existing fill between 4 and 17 feet thick over a firm, residual soil. The area of the existing fill is about 4 acres. I need an intelligent method for calculating long-term settlement of the existing fill layer. The fill consists of sandy elastic SILT and micaceous...
