    Measuring Axial Shortening using Electronic Strain Gages

    Thanks a lot Ron. Also how can I relate the column axial load and the resistance of the strain gage?

    Measuring Axial Shortening using Electronic Strain Gages

    So above are the catalog I received from the supplier but I have found it difficult to find out which one suits our need. We basically want to measure the strain difference in two 900X900mm concrete columns. I think embedded strain gage is more accurate rather than those mounted on to the column...

    Measuring Axial Shortening using Electronic Strain Gages

    I am quite new to concrete testing and I have received an opportunity to work with a company that carries out testing in cast concrete structures. Their latest job includes measuring differential settlement in selected columns in a high rise building. I have given the responsibility of finding...

    Lateral Force on Pile

    Thanks everyone for your responses/suggestions/solutions. I think bowels method is a bit too conservative however that table is only valid for piles of diameter less than 500mm. And if you consider this problem as a beam on elastic foundation the subgrade reaction you assume should be take...

    Lateral Force on Pile

    Thanks for this. I did a manual calculation of stiffness and assigned springs on SAP2000 and I got similar results. (BM around 1400 kN-m) Can you kindly let me know which program you used to do this analysis?

    Lateral Force on Pile

    Hi GeoBo, Thanks a lot for your quick response. This is my first ever post in the forum and I'm really excited that people are actually very helpful. So thanks again. I calculated the load. The load acting on the pile is 416 kN and at about 1m below the pile top. Pile is a 900mm pile embedded...

    Lateral Force on Pile

    I could use some help on this and thanks in advance! So, I have been given the task of analysing the effects of a lateral force acting on a existing pile foundation in a project The contractor is preparing to prop the temporary retaining wall on to a pile at about 45 degree angle. I want to...
