Hello,
For a 2 span simple precast girder bridge, I must find the column seismic forces and abutment bearing movement, in both with or without abutment stiffness options. The bridge concrete deck rests on 10 girders and the rubber supports are given as expansive at abutments, and fixed at bridge...
Hello. In DM 7_03, it says the following:
"In saturated loose to medium compact granular soils
seismic shocks may produce unacceptable shear strains. These
strains may be the result of shear stresses exceeding the
strength of a soil that softens beyond peak shear strength. The
high shear...
In order to prevent soil expansion have effect on structure, measures such as draining water away from the structure and locating foundations below the level of water fluctuation can be counted. Any other very common methods?
Also, the ones above answer how to prevent it. But what measures are...
For the triaxial CD test, (σ_1^')/(σ_3^' )= (1+sin〖∅'〗)/(1-sin〖∅'〗 )
The term on the right side of the equaition resembles the Kp lateral earth pressure coefficient.
I want to understand why is this so. Is it because Kp relates the vertical force to horizontal force, and here at the triaxial...
my pe stamp is not at the state I am live at the moment. And looks like it will take some time to transfer my pe here, but i want to move forward with starting my own business now. i was always working somewhere else so far. i plan to mostly do construction management, scheduling and...
