I would assign a friction angle of 28 degrees to that material, which is the minimum angle for loose sand, and run a bearing capacity analysis considering this strength property.

Hi forum, Wanted to know whether somebody could share a connection detail between wick (vertical) drains and strip (horizontal) drains for soil improvement applications. Thanks!

EireChch, Thanks a lot for your prompt response, very interesting. I have only one remaining question: In the case of a temporary lateral load (e.g. caused by wind or earthquake) should we only consider undrained (short-term) parameters (i.e. undrained cohesion)? in my case the lateral load will...

Good morning Engineers: As you know, Table 1, page 63 of NAVFAC 7.2 presents friction factors and adhesion values for different interface materials. If you have a shallow foundation sitting on pure cohesive soil (in this case lean clay with fines >85%) do you provide a friction factor (say 0.30)...

Hi y'all, I am working on a project where a mat foundation is being designed mainly to resist lateral load, with a very (negligible) low axial load. The mat is going to be sized to have enough base area to resist the lateral load using the friction between the bottom of the mat and the...

Good morning Geo-Gents, I would like to download and install cwalsht. Anyone knows hot to download it? I have been trying to find it in the USACE website, but it is nowhere to be found. Thanks and have a great Friday! Francisco A.
