Nonlinear cone penetration test-based method for predicting footing settlements on sand / C. D. O'Loughlin in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, Vol. 136 N° 3 (Mars 2010)

Fondations. Tunnels Résumé : This paper presents centrifuge data from model footing tests on dry sand, where a high resolution optical displacement measurement technique was employed to record subsurface soil displacements beneath the centerline of loaded strip footings. These measurements allow derivation of vertical strain profiles, which are then used to estimate operational soil stiffness values. The stiffness values, which were assessed assuming a dependence on cone penetration test tip resistance and initial vertical effective stress level, are shown to degrade rapidly with increasing strain level. Despite such nonlinearity, the experimental strain data can be represented using an updated form of the well known Schmertmann strain influence profile. Settlements calculated using this profile are shown to be in agreement with subsurface settlements when appropriate soil stiffness values are employed.

Setup Following Installation of Dynamic Anchors in Normally consolidated clay / M. D. Richardson in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, Vol. 135 N° 4 (Avril 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering > Vol. 135 N° 4 (Avril 2009) . - pp. 487–496 Titre : Setup Following Installation of Dynamic Anchors in Normally consolidated clay Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : M. D. Richardson, Auteur ; C. D. O'Loughlin, Auteur ; M. F. Randolph, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 487–496 Note générale : Geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anchors  Offshore  structures  Centrifuge  models  Clays  Soil  consolidation  Time  dependence  Pore  water  pressure Résumé : This paper describes a series of centrifuge model tests designed to assess the increase in capacity of dynamic anchors due to setup in normally consolidated clay. The tests involved measurement of the vertical capacity of 1:200 reduced scale model anchors following various periods of postinstallation consolidation. The short-term capacity was shown to be dependent on the anchor impact velocity. Cavity expansion solutions for consolidation around a solid driven pile were found to provide agreement with the experimental results. A simplified capacity calculation technique predicted higher friction ratio values than is typically observed for driven piles; however, these calculations were complicated by the unusual dynamic anchor load–displacement response and uncertainty regarding the true sample shear strength. Dynamic anchor consolidation proceeds at a slower rate than for suction caissons and open-ended piles of similar equivalent diameter. However, the results indicate that depending on the site conditions, dynamically installed anchors remain a viable alternative to conventional deep-water mooring techniques.
