Abstract:

Densification of soil during construction of earth structures is achieved through the process of compaction by application of mechanical energy to obtain the required engineering properties of the soil for a particular project such as hydraulic conductivity, soil strength and compressibility. These properties are dependent on attainment of high compaction densities normally achieved at specific moisture contents for a given compactive effort. The optimum moisture content and maximum dry density for a particular soil is determined by means of Proctor tests in the laboratory. A relative compacti

SCPT is a relatively new method which has not been used by Sweco or in Sweden to any greater extent and is therefore of interest to be looked in to.

An analysis of the original slope was developed to check if there was a possible failure through its safety factor. Then, a hypothetical wall was developed with a floor reinforced with mixtures, in order to assess its overall safety factor and its maximum lan

Abstract:

In any geotechnical design procedure, the fundemantal point to be initially clearified is the characterization of existing soil profile at a site. This requires a great deal of planning a suitable site investigation program including borings, sampling, laboratory and in situ testing etc. Laboratory and in-situ (field) tests are important tools leading to the estimation of soils properties in geotechnics. Beside laboratory tests, the measurement of engineering properties in situ is a continuously growing and developing trend, particularly in materials difficult to obtain perfect undisturbed sam

There are a number of inherent problems associated with the interpretation of high resolution seismic data based on seismo-stratigraphic techniques. This is particularly true in complex, glacially influenced depositional environments, and groundtruth data are vital for calibrating the interpretation. Forward modelling, based on data from borehole logging, is one approach which can be used to predict and relate groundtruth data and seismic data in order to understand the seismic character and response. However, during engineering site investigations continuous geophysical logging is not routine

Soil reinforcement has been, since the beginning of the last century, one of the most attractive type of material for engineers.

Liquefaction of soil can be considered as one of the most disastrous seismic hazards and evaluation of liquefaction susceptibility is an important aspect of geotechnical engineering.

The method for evaluation of CRR is to test undisturbed soil specimens in the laboratory. The various field tests used for the liquefaction resistance of the soil are (i) Stan

碩士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>營建工程系<br>102<br>Geotechnical Engineering is part of the high-tech demand and high-risk operations. To reduce construction risk, each stage of engineering design, construction, operation and maintenance are required to be properly planned so as to avoid disasters. It needs to have the proper remedies when disasters occur. Limited to personal knowledge and work background, the coming up with countermeasures may not be able to meet the requirements. In this study, we collected two hundred geotechnical interface problems and technical solutions in the technical and management fie

Abstract:

Numerical modeling techniques commonly used to compute the response of soil and rock media under earthquake shaking are evaluated by analyzing the observations provided by instrumented borehole arrays. The NIED Kik-Net database in Japan is selected as the main source of borehole array data for this study. The stiffness of the site and the availability of high intensity motions are the primary factors considered towards the selection of appropriate Kik-Net borehole arrays for investigation. Overall, 13 instrumented vertical arrays are investigated using over 750 recorded ground motions characte

Abstract:

Nonlinear seismic soil-structure interaction (SSI) analyses are often completed using the equivalent linear frequency domain analysis method as it is simple to use and computationally efficient. However, the method is inherently linear and a better strategy is to employ the nonlinear time domain analysis method, which is computer intensive but can more accurately simulate nonlinear soil behavior. In this thesis, the two methods are evaluated using the Hualien LSST field data. For the nonlinear time domain analyses, the utilized Hualien LSST finite element model is initially verified by compari

Abstract:

A research program was undertaken to quantify the effect of flow induced erosion on the stability of natural river banks along the Red River in Manitoba. The Erosion Measurement Device (EMD) was designed and built in the Geotechnical Laboratory of University of Manitoba to approximate the erosion rate profiles of soil samples from nine sites along the RedRiver. Two simulations of a natural flood event and one of the same flood with the operation of the Floodway were then used to determine the difference in the lower toe erosion and the slopes reduction of the global factor of safety. These

Abstract:

<div>Pavement drainage systems are one of the key drivers of pavement function and longevity, and effective drain maintenance can significantly extend a pavement's service life. Maintenance of these drains, however, is often hampered by the challenge of locating the drains. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) typically offers a rapid and effective method to detect these underground targets. However, typical detection schema that rely upon the observation of the hyperbolic return from a GPR scan of a buried conduit still tend to miss many of the older drains beneath pavements as they may be partiall
