Obviously is not clean at all. Few is around 10%.
But let's suppose that is as you said hypothetically 0%. Agree with you in that all the expansion that will appear will be a consequence of the volume change of the water.
Should I consider that as worst condition? How can I calculate the...
Thank you for the answers, it's a "new" issue for me because usually this kind of phenomena is neither present where I am.
@Mad Mike thank you for explaining that case, I think its very interesting how a soil that theoretically is not propense to frost heave can generate such effects, I will...
Hi to all of you,
I’m currently working in a project where extremely low temperatures are reached in winter and can occasionate frost heave.
The soil is granular with few clay and silt particles (theoretically no problem), but phreatic level is between 1-2.5ft depth, while frost depth is about...
Hi all,
I’m having some troubles finding the best method to simulate skin friction in rammed piles for tensional forces. Currently I’m working with Das&Seely method but doesn’t works properly for a layered soil under my opinion.
Any recommendations for such situations?
Thank you,
