Hello,
I've been trying to find a site from where to download the SNAILZ software program for soil nail design without success. Does anybody know where I can get it from? (I've tried Caltrans site already).
Best regards and thank you in advance for your kind help.
In this method, intermittent/alternate permanent reinforced concrete panels are placed in a down-ward process as the excavation continues, and new elements of typycal size 3 m x 3 m are installed employing one prestressed temporary anchor per panel, and constructing a stripe foundation beneath...
I graduated from UBC a while ago where a got my Master's degree in Construction Engineering. For the past five years I´ve been working as a sub-contractor in México doing geotechnical construction, mainly shotcrete work and slope stabilization. Some of my clients come to me and ask for the...
I've been asked to propose a solution to stabilise a 5.20 m high (from the base of the footing up to the top of the wall), 40 m long reinforced cantilever concrete wall exhibiting deformations on the center of its face (2"-3" displacement from vertical) which showed up after a few days of heavy...
I've submitted a proposal to stabilize a gravity stone retaining wall 13' tall, 450 yd long, 25" width on the top, batterd towards the backfill, and with a width of 8' at the bottom. The foundation rests on soft clay soil, and the backfill material for the wall consists of coarse gravel...
For the instalation of self-drilling hollow bars with an outside diameter of 51 mm. and inner one of 33 mm. I need to figure out the capacity of the equipment to be employed. The bars are to be installed vertically in a mass of clean sand, gravels, cobbles and boulders along a river bed...
Being Soil Mechanics a Geotechnical topic, shouldn't this forum appear within the Geotechnical Engineers Group as oppose to the Structural Engineers? Just a reflexion. Regards.
A local and well known contractor avoids having a free length when installing ground anchors during top down construction activities. In this manner, the tendon is fully grouted and no sheath breaker is used to have an unbonded section. With this procedure, a few inches of free strands are left...
Does anyone knows the max torque for a VL671 drifter to be employed in the installation of self-drilling hollow bars? Any information will be well appreciated.
What kind of compressor (CFM,psi) should be employed to drill several 6.5" dia., 30 m. deep vertical bore holes in rock for the installation of ground anchors under a bridge. A track drill EMC 350 with an Air Rotary Head ARH 351 (Torque 270 kg-m) and a 5" down the hole hammer are to be used. I...
