Measuring soil pressure on a buried model structure for the validation of quantitative frameworks / Mark Talesnick in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, Vol. 134 N° 6 (Juin 2008) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering > Vol. 134 N° 6 (Juin 2008) . - pp. 855–865 Titre : Measuring soil pressure on a buried model structure for the validation of quantitative frameworks Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mark Talesnick, Auteur ; Hanna Horany, Auteur ; Avraham N. Dancygier, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 855–865 Note générale : Geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Soil  pressure  Measurement  Underground  structures  Validation Résumé : The paper presents the methodologies and results of an experimental study aimed at measuring the soil contact pressures which develop on a buried structure as it interacts with the surrounding soil under load. The study has been based on measurements made on model structures tested in a pressure chamber filled with a fine uniform sand. The buried model structure was a very rigid right cylinder designed such that it could be fitted with roofs of different thicknesses. The structure bottom and roof were instrumented with newly designed and constructed soil pressure cells based on the null response concept. The device is unaffected by the issues that affect the use of traditional soil pressure cells. The development of pressure on the structure was measured as uniform pressure was applied to the soil surface. The results illustrate the effect of roof stiffness on the development of pressure at the roof center. The midroof pressure was seen to increase with roof stiffness, however the development of pressure was also seen to be dependent upon the actual deflection. In the case of a flexible roof it was seen that the development of contact pressure is a nonlinear function of the pressure applied at the soil surface and is highly dependent upon stress history. In contrast, it was seen that pressure on a stiff roof develops as a linear function of pressure applied at the soil surface and is less dependent of stress history. The results of the model tests together with soil stiffness data supplied in the paper will be useful in the calibration and validation of numerical and analytical frameworks.
