even if you connsider the water level at top of wall, there shouldnt be any significant raise on thickness of wall. Anyway, there is no any specific code for this situation.. You already consider that there will not be any water pressure due to weep holes and etc. Anthow you can consider the...
Dear bdbd, we apply some correction factors to UCS values for the design according to some references as you said. But firstly you should check if this correction ıs necesseary to calculate bearing capacity according to canadian manual or not.
There are some simple and conservative approachs to...
bdbd, the reason of losing load at anchors are totaly relevant with displacement of the anchor head. We observed and measured some settlements under anchor head,since the ground profile is so soft. For that reason anchors seems to be losing capacity.
Usually, i perform the analysis for both undrained and drained conditions. Especially for the retaining walls if the clay material is saturated, sliding on subsurface becomes an critical issue.
For the anchored walls, usually drained parameters become critical
But i never considered the...
I am also curious about this question.
In my opinion, strength of clay material depends also to water content. If the moisture of clay goes up, the strength parameters will be decreased. But definiton of this behavior is not seems to be possible. We can assume some layers to be affected by...
Hello Guys,
I am working on a project and implementing lots of permenant anchors to avoid any potential landslide. Actually material where the anchor bonds were implemented is not that very bad but, a landslide governed previously on that surface.
In any case, we implemented lots of anchors...
