thanks all and especially CaGeotech. the slopeW and slide method makes sense to me and can deal with any geometry.. perfect.. though multi-layer gets a bit tedious.. luckily i'm looking at one layer.
Hi,
I hope the image attached to this.
I am considering a deflection wall (for a mud flow/debris flow) that has a cheap/light sheetpile in front of an earth berm (assume it has minimal resistance to impact force shown as a car for illustration only). My proposed design is the lower image where...
Stupid question probably, but is there a software alternative to CAPWAP that doesn't cost $27,000?
Google search (albeit 15 mins only) didn't result in finding anything.. i'm suprised there isn't a market.
Suppose if you are buying PDA equipment it comes with it, so you don't bother trying to...
BigH - Do you have a recommendation for a comparison paper on settlement/deformation?
Timoshenko or Schmertmann come to mind.
Structural engineers still like allowable bearing capacity.. and often don't have a great idea of allowable settlement. I know, likely getting the bottom of what the...
thanks.
that does have a few more of them then listed by me above.
to close this from my own end with a few more resources.
found Das you mentioned here, look at page49 to 51, mention of Hu (1962) and Balla (1964) are ones I hadn't hear before - there's a good comparison graph...
Howdy, does anyone know of a good paper/thesis (or program) that has a list of bearing capacity calculations and their applicability (eg. for sand, or for clay or combination, etc).
Terzaghi, Meyerhoff, Hansen and Vesic are the classics. I'm sure there many variations on these.
Each one may...
