800mm Diameter pipe and length is 50 meters. vertical Settlement of soil after excavation is very minor according to the results, however considering volume loss of 0.5%, abutment piles were having high bending moments (600kn.m) and soil lateral displacement was around 18mm due to the excavation...
Hello, I have been given a task to conduct a review on impact assessment of irrigation pipeline construction on existing bridge (pipelines will be constructed 2.0 meter far from existing railway bridge wall on sandy soil and depth of 6 meter below existing ground level). What are the key things...
Yea could do that , but lets say for the case of 2.5x2.5m square footing , where the stresses are taken to 2B from the foundation level , hence 2(2.5)= 5m , Hence in this case where significant stresses are within 2B , how can we go about N values if I am limited to 5 layers? do I take the...
Hello , i have been given a task to record spt values in a 5 layers , each layer is 1 meter thick. My question is , in reference to the attached boring log , is it good practice to take the average values of N between layers or to take the minimum value (For example 1-2.0m depth , do i take the...
Hello , i need guidance to which unit weight of soil to be used. I have been given a soil report and was asked to conduct a review on the bearing capacity calculations and settlements. All boreholes were up to 12 meters in depth , and none encountered water table. The soil type is sand . In the...
Hello EireChch , thanks for your reply . Can you perhaps explain to me why there is a noticeable difference between these two methods ?

Greetings , I have been using this equation from Smith's Elements of Soil Mechanics book , and when comparing it with other equations that uses for instance the Modulus of Elasticity (Es) instead of "xCr" , there is a noticeable difference in settlement values , can anyone clarify , to how...
Greetings all , I am having a confusion in regards to which equation is more accurate for settlement calculations for granular soils. - Smith's Elements of Soil Mechanics , - Principles of Foundation Engineering Braja M.Das . I have conducted a comparison using both methods , here are my...
