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.

  • It Is Quite Common for Confusion to Arise About the Process Used During a Hydrographic Survey When GPS-Derived Water Surface
    It is quite common for confusion to arise about the process used during a hydrographic survey when GPS-derived water surface elevation is incorporated into the data as an RTK Tide correction. This article explains a little about the process. What we are discussing here might be a tide-related correction to a chart datum for coastal surveying – maybe to update navigational charts, or it might be nothing to do with tides at all. For example, surveying a river with the need to express bathymetry results as a bottom elevation on the desired vertical datum – not simply as “depth” results. Whether it is anything to do with tidal forces or not, the term “RTK Tide” is ubiquitous in hydrographic-speak to refer to vertical corrections of echo sounding data using RTK GPS. Although there is some confusing terminology, it’s a simple idea so let’s try to keep it that way. First keep in mind any GPS receiver will give the user basically two things in terms of vertical positioning: height above the GPS reference ellipsoid surface and height above Mean Sea Level (MSL) where ever he or she is on the Earth. How is MSL defined? Well, a geoid surface is a measure of the strength of gravity which in turn mostly controls the height of the sea; it is logical to say that MSL height equals the geoid height and vice versa. Using RTK techniques to obtain tide information is a logical extension of this basic principle. We are measuring the GPS receiver height above a geoid.

  • ECHO SOUNDING CORRECTIONS (Article Handed to the I
    ECHO SOUNDING CORRECTIONS (Article handed to the I. H. B. by the U .S.S.R. Delegation of Observers at the Vllth International Hydrographic Conference) In the Soviet Union frequent use is made of echo sounders in routine hydrographic surveying, and all important surveys are carried out with the help of echo sounding apparatus. Depths recorded on echograms as well as depths entered in the sounding log must be corrected for a value which is the result of the algebraic addition of two partial corrections as follows : A Z f : correction for (( level error » A Z : conection of echo À When the value of the total correction is less than half the sounding accuracy, it is disregarded. The maximum tolerance figures allowed in sounding are shown below : From 0 to 20 m. : 0.4 m 21 to 50 m. : 0.7 m 51 to 100 m. : 1.5 m 101 and over :2 % of sounding depth Correction for level error. — The correction for the « error in level » is computed according to the following formula : A Z f = n _ f (1) n : reading of nearest tide gauge, corresponding to datum level determined; f : reading of tide gauge at time of taking soundings. Echo correction. — The depths determined by echo sounding must be subjected to corrections which are obtained as follows : (a) Immediately determined by calibration, or (b) According to the hydrological data available. I. — D etermination o f corrections b y calibration When determining echo corrections by calibration, the soundings are corrected as follows : (1) Determination of total correction A Z T in sounding area by calibration of echo sounding machine ; (2) A Z n correction for difference in speed of rotation of indicator disk with respect to speed determined during calibration ; The A Z q correction is applied when the number of revolutions of the indicator disk differs by more than 1 % during sounding operations from the value obtained during the initial calibration.

  • Advantages of Parametric Acoustics for the Detection of the Dredging Level in Areas with Siltation Jens Wunderlich, Prof
    7th Workshop on Dredging and Surveying, Scheveningen (The Haag), June 07th-08th 2001 Advantages of parametric acoustics for the detection of the dredging level in areas with siltation Jens Wunderlich, Prof. Dr. Gert Wendt, Rostock University Keywords sediment echo sounder, parametric acoustics, dredging level, siltation, Abstract Dredging companies and local authorities are interested in exact information about the dredging area and the material conditions, like sediment structures, sediment types and sediment volumes especially in ship channels and harbours. To get these information several equipment for sediment echo sounding is used. But what are the differences? What are the advantages of non- linear echo sounders compared to linear ones, especially in dredging areas with siltation? These questions are briefly discussed in this contribution. After that some survey examples, using a parametric echo sounder system, are given.

  • Depth Measuring Techniques
    EM 1110-2-1003 1 Jan 02 Chapter 9 Single Beam Acoustic Depth Measurement Techniques 9-1. General Scope and Applications Single beam acoustic depth sounding is by far the most widely used depth measurement technique in USACE for surveying river and harbor navigation projects. Acoustic depth sounding was first used in the Corps back in the 1930s but did not replace reliance on lead line depth measurement until the 1950s or 1960s. A variety of acoustic depth systems are used throughout the Corps, depending on project conditions and depths. These include single beam transducer systems, multiple transducer channel sweep systems, and multibeam sweep systems. Although multibeam systems are increasingly being used for surveys of deep-draft projects, single beam systems are still used by the vast majority of districts. This chapter covers the principles of acoustic depth measurement for traditional vertically mounted, single beam systems. Many of these principles are also applicable to multiple transducer sweep systems and multibeam systems. This chapter especially focuses on the critical calibrations required to maintain quality control in single beam echo sounding equipment. These criteria are summarized in Table 9-6 at the end of this chapter. 9-2.
