    The use of effective unit weight

    thought I would post this here as it's a theoretical discussion. I have doing some design and whenever the water table is above a soil strata you have to calculate the effective unit weight. (gamma'=gamma-gamma_w). I appreciate that this well established, but does anyone know it's origins? Or...

    Pile length to resist lateral loads

    Hello I am trying to determine the required pile length to resist moment and horizontal loading. I have all the required soil parameters (phi, cu, weight) however I am finding it difficult in to resolve the moment loading with the applied horizontal load (approx 10% of the moment load). I...

    4m Diameter GRP Pipe

    I have a 4000mm diameter grass reinforced plastic pipe system in Middle East that needs checking for seismic capacity, in terms of maximum span. There are a lot of Nuclear Engineering research papers on seismic capacity of steel pipes in Japan but none it seems on GRP piping. Upon consulting...
