Loading tests on circular and ring plates in very dense cemented sands

Article Abstract:

A series of field plate loading tests has been conducted to analyze the factors affecting bearing capacity and settlements of plates on cemented soils. Among the methods employed to examine soil-structure interactions were traditional limit analysis for the study of failure mechanism and linear elastic theory for settlement analysis. A purely empirical analysis to determine settlement variation with the width ratio was also used. However, these methods of calculating bearing capacity on cemented soils are yet to be validated.

Development of t-x curves for cemented fine-grained soil deposits

Article Abstract:

The development of t-z curves for cemented fine-grained soil deposits is investigated. The study includes three field tests on drilled shafts where the ultimate load and maximum deflection ae measured. The results of a 254-mm-diameter shaft could be showing a failure mechanism different from that of smaller shafts. The mechanism may be an inverted cone. The shaft showed a flatter load response, so the load transfer curve should not be considered with the other curves.

Plate anchor groups pulled vertically in sand

Article Abstract:

James Geddes and Edward Murray presented an interesting paper on vertically pulled plate anchor groups in sand. The paper shows the results on groups of square plate anchors that are combined in square and row arrangements. However, it does not mention the procedure on how the anchor plates were installed in the sand. The method of anchor installation is important since it has as effect on the behavior of the plate anchors as a group.
