The data gathered from a site investigation comprising of four CPT’s and one borehole with Standard Penetration Test’s (SPT’s). The site consists of relatively uniform soil formations. The results from the CPT’s are compared with the SPT borehole results. The SPT results are analysed by using the methods proposed by Scott (1981) and Moayed and Janbaz (2011). The three methods are applied on different sizes of foundations: square footing, rectangular footing and strip footing. The results from the CPT methodology are presented and compared with the other two methods. The proposed method can be of use in foundation design after applying suitable conversion factors which are also presented. Keywords: Subgrade reaction coefficient, CPT, foundation, sand, SPT 1 INTRODUCTION The earthquake activity in the Canterbury area, New Zealand, between September 2010 and June 2011 resulted in extensive CPT investigations within the affected City of Christchurch. As Christchurch is currently under rebuild, there is a high demand both for strengthening of existing foundations and design of new foundations for schools, churches, residential, commercial and industrial properties in limited amount of time and budget (Opus International Consultants Ltd., 2010 – 2014). For these reasons, a rapid method for the estimation of the vertical subgrade reaction modulus k [N/m3] (others may use the terminology subgrade reaction coefficient) for sands from CPT data was introduced in 2013 by Barounis et al. The k obtained from CPT data will carry the symbol KCPT while the resulted subgrade reaction for a given foundation will carry the following symbols throughout this paper: KFCPT for CPT data KFSCOTT for SPT data KFM&J for SPT data This paper presents the results of the proposed method applied at a liquefiable site in Papanui, Christchurch. The CPT results are compared with SPT results executed within a borehole at the same site. 2 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE PROPOSED METHOD The proposed method offers the following advantages over plate loading testing (Barounis et al., 2013): 1. Inexpensive 2. Quicker 3. No requirement for kentledge or reaction loads 4. No dewatering of excavations 5. Independence from plate load size effects 6. Higher exerted pressure (up to 40MPa, nominal 100MPa) 7. All soil types can be tested 8. Testing at greater depths 9. Influence of stress field at depth is reflected in the measurement 10. Testing to soil failure 11. k versus depth is delineated 12. Statistical analysis on obtained values 13. A pair of (qc, δ) values for penetration between 1 and 2 centimetres gives 50 to 100 measurements per meter 14. KCPT can be correlated with consistency of clays, Dr of sands, SPT N and soil behaviour 15. Measured KCPT can be transformed to a reliable KFCPT 16. May prove useful for liquefaction potential assessment. It also has the following disadvantages compared to plate loading testing and common laboratory tests (Barounis, 2013): 1. CPT measures properties at soil failure; 2. Plate load, unconfined and triaxial compression test and consolidation test measure properties within elastic range and/or at soil failure; 3. KCPT is considerably higher than Kplate due to the smaller probe diameter used; 4. Limited capacity to penetrate through hard soils or refuse on gravels may result in termination of the test with insufficient KCPT values. 3 BACKGROUND THEORY During cone penetration, δ, the soil is initially compressed and then sheared to failure at a stress equal to the measured value of qc. The rate of cone penetration of two centimetres per second classifies this type of testing as strain controlled undrained in-situ testing, similarly to the laboratory triaxial UU test and unconfined compression test. For the case of cone penetration with δ=10 mm, each soil layer of thickness T can be perceived as a number of vertical springs 10 mm long connected in series like a chain (see Figure 2). Each soil spring is assumed having an ultimate vertical reaction coefficient value of KCPT, which is fully mobilized during cone penetration. The cone penetration test offers the ability to measure this ultimate reaction coefficient KCPT for the complete depth of the CPT profile as both qc and δ are measured. The mathematical definition for KCPT can be described by using a qc versus δ graph shown in Figure 1. The slope of the straight line connecting the origin of the axes and the value of qc is KCPT, defined as 3 qc/δ and carries units of N/m . This resembles elasto-plastic soil behaviour when loaded. At qc the soil fails, as this is proved during testing. At this failure point the soil is considered as behaving as a spring which has reached its ultimate stress limit. The duration of testing for 1cm of soil is between 0.5 to 1 seconds. A well maintained and calibrated CPT probe can let us assume with a lot of confidence that for each centimetre tested a straight line can be always drawn as shown in Figure 1. 50 q 45 c 40 35 30 25 (MPa) c q 20 15 10 5 0 0246810 δ (mm) Figure 1. Definition of KCPT by using a qc/δ graph for δ = 10 mm Figure 2. Delineation of K from CPT with depth For foundation design the KCPT value needs to be scaled before it is used as the foundation size is several orders of magnitude greater than the diameter of the CPT probe used. The applicable scaling factor is discussed in the next paragraph. 4 ESTIMATION PROCEDURE FOR KCPT AND KFCPT The KCPT and KFCPT can be estimated in five steps: Step 1: Calculation of KCPT KCPT = qc/δ (1) 3 where, KCPT = coefficient of subgrade reaction from CPT [N/m ] qc = tip cone resistance measured at any depth [MPa] δ = cone penetration applied [mm] For δ = 10 mm and qc is in MPa then, 3 KCPT = 100qc [MN/m ] (2) Step 2: Transformation of KCPT to a reference 300 mm load plate value KCPT(0.3) KCPT(0.3) = KCPT x (DCPT/300) (3) where, KCPT(0.3) = coefficient of subgrade reaction for a 300 mm load plate based on CPT measurements DCPT = the diameter of the cone used [mm] 300 = the reference plate diameter [mm] KCPT = the subgrade reaction coefficient calculated according to step 1 depending on the 3 penetration increment δ used [N/m ]. For DCPT = 35.7 mm, KCPT (0.3) is approximately 12% of KCPT (scaling factor of 0.119). Step 3: Conversion of KCPT(0.3) to KFCPT KFCPT = KCPT(0.3) x ) (4) where, m = L/B (Bowles, 1997), applicable to strip, pad or. raft foundations on medium dense sand. . For the same types of foundations on sands of any relative density: KFCPT = KCPT(0.3) x ( ) (5) where, B1 = 0.3 m (reference plate width) and B = actual foundation width [m]. Step 4: Divide the estimated KFCPT by a conversion factor, CF to obtain the value for foundation design: KDESIGN = KFCPT/CF (6) The recommended CF values for sands is discussed in paragraph six. 5 APPLICATION OF THE METHOD AT A SITE IN CHRISTCHURCH 5.1 Geotechnical site investigations The method was applied at a site on Paparoa Street, Christchurch at an existing residential building that suffered structural damage due to the recent Canterbury earthquakes. The property is situated 3.7km northwest of Christchurch CBD. The geotechnical site investigations undertaken in 2014 included: A sonic drilled borehole to a depth of 15m; SPT was undertaken at 1.5m depth intervals Four CPT’s with pore pressure measurements to effective tip refusal (CPT01 is shown in Figure 2, qc and KCPT versus depth are shown). The conducted site investigations and testing is shown in Table 1. Table 1: Conducted site investigations and testing Investigation depth below Site investigation Testing ground level (m) SPT with hammer efficiency Borehole 01 (BH01) 15.0 Er = 90.7%1 CPT 1 (1.5m away from BH01) 9.48 CPT 2 (20m away from BH01) 9.32 Pore pressure CPT 3 (35m away from BH01) 9.58 measurements CPT 4 (45m away from BH01) 9.30 1 Hammer efficiency determined from calibration certificate of the SPT hammer used. Figure 3: CPT01 and KCPT profiles versus depth 5.2 Ground conditions The published geology map of the area (Brown and Weeber, 1992) indicates the site is predominantly underlain with alluvial sand and silt overbank deposits (Yaldhurst Member of the Springston Formation). The typical ground profile of the site has been inferred based on the site investigations, and is shown in Table 2.

The main purpose is usually related to the location in space, geometrical dimensions, settlements, deflections, and other forms of displacements and their consequences. This study focuses on the application of selected surveying methods in static load tests (SLTs) of foundation piles. Basic aspects of the SLT are presented in the introductory section, together with the explanation of the authors’ motivation behind the novel (but already sufficiently tested) application of remote methods introduced to confirm, through inverse analysis, the load applied to the pile head under testing at every stage of its loading. Materials and methods are described in the second section in order to provide basic information on the test site and principles of the SLT method applied. The case study shows the methodology of displacement control in the particular test, which is described in light of a Citation: Muszy´nski,Z.; Rybak, J. presented review of geodetic techniques for displacement control, especially terrestrial laser scanning Application of Geodetic Measuring and robotic tacheometry. The geotechnical testing procedure, which is of secondary importance for Methods for Reliable Evaluation of the current study, is also introduced in order to emphasize the versatility of the proposed method.

  • Enhancement of Shaft Capacity of Cast-In- Place Piles Using a Hook System
    Enhancement of Shaft Capacity of Cast-in- Place Piles using a Hook System by Ghazi Abou El Hosn A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of: Master of Applied Science in Civil Engineering Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario ©2015 Ghazi Abou El Hosn * Abstract This research investigates an innovative approach to improve the shaft bearing capacity of cast- in-place pile foundations by utilizing passive inclusions (Hooks) that will be mobilized if movement occurs in pile system. An extensive experimental program was developed to study the shaft bearing capacity of cast-in-place piles with and without hook system in soft clay and sand. First phase of the experiment was developed to investigate the effect of passive inclusion on pile- soil interface shear strength behaviour, employing a modified direct shear test apparatus. The interface strength obtained for pile-soil specimens was found to significantly increase when passive inclusions were implemented. Apparent residual friction angle for concrete-sand interface increased from 22 to 29.5 when two hook elements were used at the pile-soil interface. The pile-clay apparent adhesion was also increased from 19 kPa to 34 kPa. A series of pile-load testing at field were performed on cast-in-place in soft clay to investigate the effect of passive inclusions on pile bearing capacity. The pile-load tests were conducted at Gloucester test site. Four model piles were cast with steel cages along with hooks (P1- no hook, P2-7 hooks, P3- 5 hooks and P4- 5 hooks) installed on the exterior side of the steel cages prior to filling the hole with concrete.

  • Green Terramesh Rock Fall Protection Bund
    Double Twist Mesh Project: 112 Bridle Path Road Date: May 2016 Client: Private Residence, Heathcote Valley Designer: Engeo Consulting Ltd Contractor: Higgins Contractors Location: Christchurch Green Terramesh Rock Fall Protection Bund The 22 February 2010 Christchurch earthquake triggered numerous rock falls causing damage to homes built close to cliffs. Many of those that survived were red zoned by the Government due of the risk of further rock fall or cliff collapse. The area around Heathcote Valley and in particular Bridle Path road was identified as an area of high risk requiring some form of rock fall protection structure to be constructed in order to protect dwellings from rock fall in the event of any further earthquakes. Geofabrics offers a range of solutions that includes certified catch fences and Green Terramesh rockfall embankments. A rockfall embankment was the preferred solution for this site which has the potential to experience multiple rock fall events. The use of Green Site Preparation Terramesh allows the embankment slopes to be steepened and the footprint reduced to form a stable and robust bund having high energy absorption characteristics. The structure is typically filled with compacted granular material or engineered soil fill with horizontal soil reinforcement (geogrid or DT mesh) inclusions. The front face can either be vegetated or finished with a rock veneer. Rockfall embankments have undergone extensive full scale testing in Europe. Actual rock impacts in excess of 5000kJ into Green Terramesh rockfall embankments located in Northern Italy have been back-analysed and the design methodology verified using numerical modelling (FEM) techniques. This research has resulted in the development of design charts to provide designers with a Bund Design simplified design method based on rock penetration depth.
