    Constructions methods and procedures of transmission structures

    Hi there, this is Manuel Asmat from Peru. I'm looking for information about construction methods or procedures of the foundations of transmission structures such as concrete piles, wood piles and steel towers. Papers, web pages, or something else will be great. Thanks, Manuel. -- Manuel A...

    Look for "Lateral Resistance of Piles in Cohesive(cohesionless) Soils"

    Look for Prasad & Chari Method. Broms use an incorrect idealization of the soil against a lateral load in the top of the pile. In this article you will understand why Broms is incorrect for your problem. www.icfconsulting.com/Markets/Environment/doc_files/lateral-resistance.pdf I hope this...

    In the USCS and force of friction

    Hi Jdonville, first I want to thank for answering me so soon. My question about the 3 symbols clasification for a soil is because I read a document from Corral (1971) where he said that in a very rare case it could happen. Also, he says that if It happens you just have to use the most...

    In the USCS and force of friction

    It's me, Manuel, again. Just to add something. I'm working in a block of retention for a pile of transmission lines that use a block of retention. In the design of it it's usual that you do not consider the force of friction between soil-soil. I want to consider it to reduce the size of that...

    In the USCS and force of friction

    Hi everyone. I have two questions. The first one: Is there a chance where you have to use 3 simbols? for example: SP - SM - PT...I've read about it, but i'm not sure if that's correct. I think I could happen. The second question is about the force of friction generated in the interface soil...

    Burklin Method for laterally loaded piles

    Hi there. This is Manuel, from Peru. I'm looking for information about Burklin Method for the design of the depth of foundation for laterally loaded piles. The tipical structures designed with this method are the transmission lines. Any paper or document that anyone has about this or other...

    Can anyone help me with the coefficient of compresibility?

    Hi, this Manuel Asmat, from Perú. I'm having problems with the Sulzberger method. This method is used to calculate foundations of tranmission lines structures such as piles and towers. I understand the method, but I'm having a real hard time with the coefficient of compresibility. I have a paper...
