Excessive settlements of a road embankment adjoining a bridge abutment founded on piles to firm ground was then successfully halted by replacing a 1 m layer of road aggregate with blocks of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS). Boards of EPS had previously been successfully tested in road structures over several years in a major research project related to Frost Action in Soils. The use of Geofoam blocks for lightweight fill purposes, reduced earth pressure and several other applications for a variety of Civil Engineering purposes, has since been adopted and further developed in many countries worldwide. In this article the state of the art regarding various applications of Geofoam blocks are shown based on available information supplied by the authors.

Bidirectional-cell tests were performed in Singapore on four bored piles in a residual soil and underlying weathered, highly fractured bedrock called the Bukit Timah Granite formation. Two of the piles were 1.2 m diameter, uninstrumented, and 28 m and 38 m long. The other two were strain-gage instrumented, 1.0 m diameter piles, both 37 m long. The latter tests combined the cell test with conventional head-down testing. Analysis of the test results indicated that the pile toe stiffness was low. The evaluation of the strain-gage data showed that the pile material modulus was a function of the induced strain. The desired axial working load was 10 MN, and the combined cell and head-down tests correlated to a head-down test with a maximum applied load of 38 MN, which, although smaller than the ultimate resistance of the piles, was taken as the capacity of piles constructed similar to the second set of test piles at the site.

Chernyavskiy, YIT Lentek JSK The object of this work was studying, systemizing and describing continuous flight auger (CFA) pile foundation design for a residential complex and calculating the bearing capacity of a single СFA pile on the basis of Russian Building Code. This thesis was written on the request of the YIT Lentek JSK Design Department. The information for the theoretical part was gathered from Russian Building Codes, theoretical manuals, other common available materials (including the Internet), and project materials and documents kept in the archive of YIT Lentek JSC. The practical part of the study presents the calculation of bearing capacity of a single СFA pile based on Russian Building Code, called SNiP 2.02.03-85 “Pile Foundations”. General systematization of the process of CFA pile foundation design for multi- storey apartment buildings, which is useful for further studies, was implemented on the basis of gathered and analyzed materials. Results of a single СFA pile bearing capacity calculation serves for the company as a starting point in determination of bearing capacity of a single CFA pile of a given diameter and length for further considerations and comparisons with other variants of piling.

In 1993 a seminar on road design, construction and maintenance related R&D was held with invited researchers from the Nordic countries. As the offshoot of discussions between SNRA and SGI, an international seminar on soil mechanics R&D for roads and bridges was found to be valuable. The objective ofthis seminar was to stimulate and encourage co-operation between European countries. An invitation was send to a ten countries in the Northern and Western ofEurope. The seminar was arranged by an Organizing Committee with participants from the SNRA and SGI. The meeting was held in November 16-18, 1993, in Sigtuna, Sweden.

    A study of the correlation between soil-rock sounding and column penetration test data Johan Fransson Master of Science Thesis 11/04 Division of Soil and Rock Mechanics Department of Civil Architecture and the Built Environment Stockholm 2011 © Johan Fransson 2011 Master of Science Thesis 11/04 Division of Soil and Rock Mechanics Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) ISSN 1652-599X Preface This is the final thesis for my master degree as a civil engineer at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. The idea for this thesis came from my supervisor Professor Stefan Larsson who has many years experience working with lime-cement columns both in his profession and at an academicals level. I worked closely with D. tech student Niclas Bergman, who helped me with general input, knowledge and his time. The thesis would never have been finished without the help from lecturer Pär Näsman at the Royal Institute of Technology, who helped with the statistical aspects of this thesis, geotechnical engineer Gunnar Nilsson at NCC Teknik, who gave me some useful input about the total sounding method and its use with lime-cement columns, Anders Lundman at LCM, who not only helped with some well needed field trips but found one further test site to sound, field geotechnical engineers Hans-Ola and Ingemar Engström at Tyréns, conducted most of the soundings and came with great ideas and lastly my closest family, namely Thord, Inger, Shana and Emmin gave me moral support and help with some language aspects. Johan Fransson, Stockholm 2011. Abstract Lime-cement columns have been used in Sweden to improve poor soil conditions since the 1970’s.

    Characterization of strength variability for reliability-based design of lime-cement columns Niclas Bergman Licentiate Thesis Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering Division of Soil and Rock Mechanics Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, 2012 TRITA-JOB LIC 2017 ISSN 1650-951X Preface The work presented in this thesis was conducted between January 2009 and March 2012 at the Division of Soil and Rock Mechanics, Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden. The work was supervised by Professor Stefan Larsson, Head of the Division of Soil and Rock Mechanics. Sincere thanks are directed to the Development Fund of the Swedish Construction Industry (SBUF) and to the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket), whose financial support made this work possible. I would also like to thank my supervisor, Stefan Larsson, who has supported this work with his knowledge and never-ending enthusiasm. Further acknowledgments are directed to my colleagues at the Division of Soil and Rock Mechanics. Finally, I would like to thank my family – my wife, Helena, for her support and understanding, my daughter, Greta, for the joy she brings me and my parents, Sture and Ann-Charlotte, for their assistance. Without you, this work would never have been possible. Stockholm, March 2012 Niclas Bergman iii iv Summary An expanding population and increased need for infrastructure increasingly necessitate construction on surfaces with poor soil conditions. To facilitate the construction of buildings, roads and railroads in areas with poor soil conditions, these areas are often improved by means of foundation engineering. Constructions that are fairly limited in scope are often founded on shallow or deep foundations.

  • Chapter 11 Acoustic Multibeam Survey Systems for Deep-Draft Navigation Projects
    EM 1110-2-1003 Change 1 1 Apr 04 Chapter 11 Acoustic Multibeam Survey Systems for Deep-Draft Navigation Projects 11-1. General Scope and Applications This chapter provides USACE policy and guidance for acquisition, calibration, quality control, and quality assurance of multibeam survey systems used on deep-draft navigation, flood control, and charting projects. Instructions for operating specific multibeam systems, or the acquisition, processing, and editing of data from these systems, are found in manufacturer's operating manuals and software processing manuals specific to the systems employed. Figure 11-1. Full-coverage multibeam survey of coastal inlet navigation project (Galveston District) 11-2. Background The US Navy developed multibeam swath survey technology in the early 1960s for deep-water bathymetric mapping. Only since the early 1990s has this technology been developed and marketed for shallow-water USACE applications, such as those illustrated in Figure 11-1. It is expected that the use of multibeam systems will significantly increase over the next few years, and will gradually supplant single beam transducer survey systems in deep-draft navigation projects. Multibeam systems, when coupled with digital side-scan imaging systems, have the potential to become a primary strike detection method in USACE. Multibeam systems have technically advanced since their introduction in the early 1990's to the point that they now have a direct application to most Corps navigation project survey activities. When 11-1 EM 1110-2-1003 Change 1 1 Apr 04 properly deployed and operated, the accuracy, coverage, and strike detection capabilities of multibeam systems now exceeds that of traditional vertical single beam echo sounding methods.
