... by the landslide and then dissipated to a residual value. The peak pressure was 24 kPa in clay around the 10 m pile foundation and about 18 kPa for the 20 m pile foundation. (2) Settlements of the wind turbine foundation largely depended on the dynamic impact of the landslide and decreased with the length...

... on footing can be derived as a load eccentricity from the central axis. Due to the load eccentricity (moment), the footing is subjected to rotation (tilting) along with settlement. The average settlement of footing along the central axis also increases with the increase in load eccentricity for a constant...

... Q resulted in larger wall deflection (δ_w), ground settlement (s_v), and lateral earth pressure on the wall (σ′_h). The increases in δ_w, s_v, and σ′_h diminished close to the greenfield...

... settlement and the friction at the pipe–soil interface was also examined. The results indicate that grouting plays a significant role in mitigating the friction and vertical displacement of the tunnel lining caused by excavation. Furthermore, the study shows that reducing the viscosity of the grouting slurry...

...Yuzhen Liang, BEng; Xiaoqiang Gu, PhD; Deshun Wu, MEng; Zhiqiang Fan, PhD; Qihui Zhou, BEng; Zunjing Liu, MEng Groundwater variation is a significant cause for high-fill foundation settlement. In this study, centrifugal model tests were carried out to study the settlement of a high-fill foundation...

... excavations in sand and clay soils were conducted to investigate the impacts of staged excavation on the characteristics of retaining wall displacement and ground settlement. The experimental results show that before the struts were installed, the movement of the retaining wall follows a cantilever movement...

... applications settlement Soil, 3D high-density polyethylene (HDPE) reinforcing elements and PA (Nylon 66) ties were used in this study. A relatively uniform, poorly graded silica sand (SP, ASTM D 2487-11 (ASTM, 2011)) with a specific gravity, G_s, of 2.65 was utilised as backfill...

... lines on a test object to measure static and dynamic vertical displacements. The technique produces a continuous settlement distribution along the laser line passing through multiple objects of interest. This paper presents the theory for converting laser line images to displacements. The new method's...

.... An increase in pore-water pressure during excitations can reduce soil shear strength, and consequently, lead to a decrease of the soil bearing capacity and an increase of settlement. In this study, using physical modelling, the effect of the presence of a non-liquefiable layer with different thicknesses...

...T. H. Tefera; S. Nordal; L. Grande; R. Sandven; A. Emdal The ground settlement and wall deformation of a sheet pile wall during different stages of excavation have been studied using a large scale model test in a bin with dry sand at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU...
