    piles on rock

    Jeff: When you say "assume friction on the 'box' perimeter", are you talking about calculating the skin friction component? I pretty much have done as you suggested, and am waiting on data from the lab for the compressive strength of the rock, but in the meantime, used a presumptive value to...

    piles on rock

    Yeah, but I would like to be able to calculate and compare the factored resistance available from the rock to that of the factored structural limit available from the pile, so the design is well documented. On rock with a relatively low compressive strength, it matters if you assume a plug or...

    piles on rock

    does a plug form in HP piles or pipe piles when pounding on rock, such that you can count on the entire area for end bearing? thanks

    Vane shear testing in Peat

    Anybody know the definitive correction factor to apply to the shear vane test when performed in peat? The "Muskeg Engineering Handbook", 1969, gives a calculation which results in a value only 25% of the value given in ASTM D 2573-01. Is this to account for the overestimation from the...
