Abstract:

Expert system technology has been brought from Artificial Intelligence research laboratories to the real world over the last decade. However, to date, there are few expert systems that have been developed for foundation design work. The problems are due to technical and psychological factors and are similiar to those when computers were firstly introduced. In this thesis, the difficulties of building expert systems for foundation engineering application are identified. The work in this thesis is an attempt to study the applicability of expert systems to foundation design and find solutions

Abstract:

The central original contribution to knowledge proposed by this thesis is the setting forth of a conceptualisation of ethical theory specifically in relation to design, with a focus on visual communication design. Building on earlier work by design theorist Clive Dilnot in the area of design ethics and on philosopher Giorgio Agamben’s formulation of the philosophical concept of potentiality, a way of thinking about the relationship between design and ethics is proposed which concludes that design is in fact always inherently ethical. However, this conception of ethical design purposefully leav

Abstract:

While design theories provide a foundation for representing and reasoning about design methods, existing design theories do not explicitly include uncertainty considerations or recognize tradeoffs between the design artifact and the design process. These limitations prevent the existing theories from adequately describing and explaining observed or proposed design methods. In this thesis, Rational Design Theory is introduced as a normative theoretical framework for evaluating prescriptive design methods. This new theory is based on a two-level perspective of design decisions in which the inte

Abstract:

Exactly constrained (EC) design is a robust design method which can be used for mechanical assemblies. It entails using the minimum number of constraints to eliminate all desired motion. While found by some engineers in industry to have many benefits (including robust assembly, no binding or play, ease of assembly, and the ability to tolerate the wear of parts), EC designs remain somewhat unrecognized by academia. One reason for this minimal exposure may be the lack of a quantitative foundation for such designs. This thesis describes the history and current background for EC designs, and

Abstract:

Pavement foundations for major roads in the UK were historically designed on an empirical basis, related to a single design chart, restricting the incorporation of superior performing materials or materials for which the empirical data sets were not available. The adoption of performance based specifications was promoted as they are perceived to 'open up' the use of alternative materials (including 'local' sources of primary materials) or techniques, and allow for the incorporation of superior performance into the overall pavement design.

The reinforced concrete shear wall is one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting structural components in reinforced concrete buildings. The purpose of this study is to analyze the two independent shear walls, which are connected with coupling beams in the presence of lateral loads. When a lateral load acts on one side of the shear walls, due to the highly rigid nature of adjacent shear walls, most of the stress concentrated on the foundation beam, coupling beams, and foundation piles. Different types of foundation beam design and different foundation pile arrangement could affect th

There are over 602,000 bridges in the United States, of which 12.5% are classified as functionally obsolete and 11.2% are structurally deficient. The functionally obsolete bridges will require expansion or replacement to increase the service capacity of the bridge. The structurally deficient bridges will either need remediation of the load carrying elements which are damaged or deteriorated or will need to be replaced completely. Replacement of the bridges means new construction; new construction means better design and quality assurance to meet the 100+ year service life requirement in place

Abstract:

Because of the transition to a common standard for building regulations in Europe called Eurocodes, there is a need to update old reports that was written when old national standards were in use. A pile foundation is needed if the ground beneath a building does not have enough loadbearing capacity. The function of the pile cap is to distribute the load from the above construction on to the piles in the ground. The goal of this thesis is to create design tables with a number of type caps that can be use to quickly get a grip of the size, quantity of reinforcement steel and loadbearing capacity

Frequently, deep foundations extend through potentially liquefiable soils. When liquefaction occurs in cohesionless soils surrounding a deep foundation, the skin-friction in the liquefied layer is compromised.

When the settlement of the soil exceeds the downward movement of the foundation, downdrag develops.

Abstract:

Les inclusions rigides sont un concept récent développé dans le prolongement des fondations mixtes, avec un matelas de transfert de charges entre les colonnes et la structure. Des méthodes de calculs et des concepts de sécurité existent pour ces systèmes combinés, notamment en France où le module pressiométrique mesuré et les recommandations ASIRI (IREX 2012) pour les inclusions rigides sont utilisés. Le dimensionnement classique des pieux basé sur une simple vérification de la portance des colonnes isolées ne peut pas être appliqué à ces systèmes combinés. Les tassements peuvent être plus imp

Abstract:

The problem of pile foundation reuse provides an ideal opportunity to evaluate the validity of superposition as a design paradigm for ground intervention and ground reinforcement (GIGR) techniques when used in combination with in situ foundations. Grouted, helical piers, a relatively new technology, are proposed as a capacity improvement option for existing pile foundations. The relationship between these geotechnical elements was evaluated through the axial and lateral testing of small-scale, cast-in-place foundations in uniform, dry sand. These tests showed that the implementation of ground
