Hello Fellow Geotech Engineers!
I have an interesting question. I came across a project where the site has a 1.2m to 3m layer of uncontrolled fill. As part of earthworks, another 1.4m of fill is to be placed on top of the existing ground level to raise the pad height.
Now, removing the...
Hello fellow engineers.
I have an interesting question for engineers who may be designing screw piles.
In one of the recent projects, screw piles were nominated to manufacturers specifications. The piles were supposed to be designed/installed to support 300 kN SWL.
After installation I have...
Hi Frieds,
I am working on a project where we designed a pile based on medium dense silty sand below the water table. The pile is 600mm dia and 5m deep and supporting an ultimate load of 250kN. Based on Terzaghi's equation I took the angle of internal friction of 32 with drained analyses of the...
Hi Friends,
I am designing a suspended concrete slab to fill a void of 6m x 6m and connecting it to existing concrete beams. I am using bondek formwork to span one-way,supported on steel beams at 2000mm crs which will be supported by the concrete beam. I have checked the beams sizes and it all...
Hi Friends,
I have got an opportunity to analyse an existing industrial structure and replace the existing 150 mm thick concrete panels with steel column.
The reason is that the client need a bigger opening in concrete panels to move the machineries.
The scenario at the connection with...
