Abstract:
The article presents hollow foundations that play a multifunctional role: drainage to accelerate the process of consolidation of weak water-saturated cohesive foundation soils, drainage in case of obvious underflooding, anti-barrage in case of latent underflooding, as well as compensating for possible swelling or frost heaving of the clay soils. The adopted design solution makes it possible to transfer the load from the foundation to the soil foundation that includes loose cavity filling material through a more developed support area than a foundation with a flat footing. Unlike the solid foundation, the hollow foundation has a higher bearing capacity by 120 N more, and in the intervals of high loads (> 400 N) the settlement of the hollow foundation develops with an occasional lag from the settlement of the solid foundation. The use of hollow concrete foundations makes it possible to expand the area of application of prefabricated foundations, simplify their manufacture, increase their bearing capacity and ensure their strength and durability, while reducing the material intensity and cost of construction.

Abstract:
The paper analyzes the designs of traditional strip foundations with a flat bottom, the load from which causes the plane strain stress state of the soil base, and other variations of conventionally strip (continuous) foundations, which due to their shape (configuration) of the contact area with the base change its stress state, which enables designing more sustainable foundations for continuous buildings and structures. Proceeding from the solutions to the mixed problem of the theory of elasticity and plasticity using the Mohr-Coulomb criterion strength criterion, analytical studies of the development of plastic zones in the base of a strip foundation with a longitudinal cut-out have been conducted, which show that the limit state always occurs first in the foundation’s edge zones, that is, underneath the outer edges of the foundation. It is also noted, however, that the design resistance of soil decreases when there is no additional load in the area of the cut-out; therefore, a patented design has been proposed of a strip foundation with a longitudinal cut-out in the bottom, where the cut-out with the height is filled with low-modulus material to improve the design resistance of soil. Based on experimental and theoretical studies, methods have been proposed for calculating the soil base (design resistance , settlement and inclination ) for a strip foundation of a massive retaining wall with a longitudinal cut-out in the bottom. A real example shows that the total width of the strip foundation with a cut-out is shorter by 1.5 m in comparison with the continuous shape of the bottom of the foundation, which has a significant economic effect on every linear meter of the wall foundation. Overall, the proposed methods make it possible to reasonably design effective eccentrically loaded foundations with cut-outs in the bottom and to improve the permissible vertical pressure on the base in comparison with a continuous bottom, all other things being equal. Keywords: strip foundation, massive retaining wall, eccentricity, bottom, cut-out, soil base, calculation procedure.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to understand the effect of different foundation designs of passive house on the resultant thermal bridges, at the junction between a wall and a slab on grade. Design/methodology/approach The linear thermal transmittances of some newly developed foundations of passive house are determined. The investigated foundation designs are L-element, U-element and foundation with foam glass technique. Findings It is found that the special design of passive house foundation can considerably influence the heat flow through thermal bridges. In this context, it is proposed a new foundation design of passive house, which has relatively low heat loss through thermal bridges. The results are compared with the “default” ISO values used to evaluate the effect of thermal bridges in typical buildings. It is found that there is large difference between the calculated linear thermal transmittances at the investigated foundations of passive house as compared to typical buildings. Practical implications The results can hopefully be used to improve the energy efficiency of the passive house. Social implications Sustainable solution of buildings. Originality/value A new foundation design of passive house is suggested to reduce heat loss through thermal bridges.

With an independent foundation reinforced applying section-enlarging plan as an example, the contact stress distributions between foundation and groundsill in 6 conditions were analyzed by finite element method and the pattern of stress distributions were discussed. Variable parameters include values of load on foundation and compression modulus ratio K of new and old foundation. The result showed the ratio of old foundation’s contact pressure to that of new foundation was about equal to the K. Based on the analysis results, consider the two times loading effect, the force diagrams of foundation strengthened were presented.

Abstract:
The article analyzes design solutions of foundations on permafrost soils, their advantages and disadvantages. Innovative design solutions that increase the energy efficiency of buildings are proposed. Examples of innovative foundations of platform type are given. Spatial ventilated foundations are less sensitive to soil deformation. The construction of such a foundation can be made of various materials such as reinforced concrete, metal and timber. A spatial foundation platform based on timber is proposed as one of the innovative examples, which is a promising constructive solution of foundations for construction in the Arctic regions. Wood has a small coefficient of thermal conductivity, which significantly increases the energy efficiency of the structure as a whole. Due to prefabrication of timber structures, the speed of construction is increased. Platforms can have solutions in the form of: system of cross beams, structural plates, plate-rod structure, as well as in the form of shells and folds. Regardless of the design solution, the spatial foundation platform is prefabricated.

Abstract:
Current foundation design practice for serviceability limit states involves proportioning the foundation to achieve an acceptably small probability that the foundation settlement exceeds some target maximum total settlement. However, it is usually differential settlement that leads to problems in the supported structure. The design question, then, is how should the target maximum total settlement of an individual foundation be selected so that differential settlement is not excessive? Evidently, if the target maximum total settlement is increased, the differential settlement between foundations will also tend to increase, so that there is a relationship between the two, although not necessarily a simple one. This paper investigates how the target maximum total settlement specified in the design of an individual foundation relates to the distribution of the differential settlement between two identical foundation elements, as a function of the ground statistics and the distance between the two foundations. A probabilistic theory is developed, and validated by simulation, which is used to prescribe target maximum settlements employed in the design process to avoid excessive differential settlements to some acceptable probability.

Abstract:
The introduction of Eurocode in Kazakhstan allows for the application of modern technological innovations and the elimination of technical barriers for the realization of international projects. It is significant to study the international standards and design requirements provided in Eurocode. This study presents a comparative analysis of Kazakhstani and European approaches for the geotechnical design of foundations and provides the design methods in the considered codes of practice. Three different types of foundations (i.e., raft, pile, and piled raft foundations) were designed following SP RK 5.01-102-2013—Foundations of buildings and structures, SP RK 5.01-103-2013—Pile foundations, and Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design for the Nur-Sultan soil profile. For all three types of foundations, the calculated results of bearing resistance and elastic settlement showed the conservativeness of Eurocode over SNiP-based Kazakhstani building regulations, as the values of bearing resistance and elastic settlement adhering to Kazakhstani code exceeded the Eurocode values. The difference between the obtained results can be explained by the application of higher values of partial safety factors by Eurocode 7. Sensitivity analysis of the bearing resistance on foundation parameters (i.e., raft foundation width and pile length) for the Kazakhstani and European approaches was performed to support the conclusions of the study.

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 to existing difficulties. The thesis explores ways in which geotechnical engineers can be persuaded to accept the technology and develop their own systems, or to use developed systems to assist their work. Features of conventional expert systems are investigated, modified and improved such that the developed systems are more suitable for foundation design work and engineers may have more confidence in developing systems or using the developed systems. Three ways of building expert systems are studied and compared in terms of flexibility, user and developer-friendliness, user-confidence, and validation of the developed system. The three ways involve: i) using Turbo PROLOG to encode the system from ‘scratch’, ii) using a development tool (also termed a shell in this thesis), and iii) using a spreadsheet. A new shell is specifically designed and developed to facilitate the second approach. Examples of systems for geotechnical application using each approach are described in detail in this thesis.

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 leaves questions of the qualification of good and bad unresolved, stating only that the ethical is the prerequisite condition in which both good and bad become possibilities. Design’s significantly unethical capability to suppress and anaesthetise individuals’ ethical experience is highlighted through a proposal of a process of an/aesth/ethics. Observation of the relationship between design and ethics in the real world through a series of interviews demonstrates something of the complexity of design’s relationship with ethics and the diverse range of positions, beliefs, attitudes and paradoxes abounding within the design profession when it comes to addressing the question of “good” design practice. Six “sites” of ethics within contemporary design discourse are introduced and discussed. The ethicality of design practices in relation to these sites are then analysed through the lens of the proposed ethical framework: identifying strengths, weaknesses and potentials within these observed strategies. The way of thinking about ethical design proposed here demonstrates potential in contributing to designers’ ability to critically consider the ethicality of their own practices. From this foundation they may be better equipped to begin addressing the question of the qualification of the “goodness” of design. In conclusion, proposals are made for how this framework could be practically developed and used to support and encourage ethical design in the real world.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
Os projetos de capacidade de suporte de estacas estão baseados em dados de ensaio de campo de maneira direta ou indireta. Devido a sua praticidade, os métodos empíricos são amplamente utilizados. No Brasil os métodos de Decourt e Quaresma (1978, 1982) e de Aoki e Velloso (1975) se destacam. Este trabalho procura avaliar o uso de dados de SPT e CPT para estimativa de parâmetros geotécnicos necessários na previsão de capacidade de suporte de estacas através de métodos teóricos. São apresentadas e avaliadas formulações empíricas de estimativa de parâmetros para materiais granulares e materiais argilosos. Outro elemento importante na previsão da capacidade de suporte é o estado de tensões atuante em torno da estaca que é analisado através de considerações a respeito do coeficiente de empuxo. Finalmente, são mostrados alguns resultados de provas de carga para a análise da seleção de parâmetros e do estado de tensões, além de uma avaliação dos métodos empíricos de previsão de capacidade de suporte.
The main objective of this thesis is to discuss the applicability of in-situ tests like the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) to determine directly the design parameters to predict the bearing capacity of pile foundations. In case it will be considered the use of empirical correlation to indicate the mechanical properties of the soil in terms of shear resistance, and the application of these values directly in the classic formulation based on the theory of equilibrium limit to evaluate distinctly the shaft and the base resistance of piles. Adaptations of these values will be proceeded considering aspects related with the non-linear behavior of the soil; the mechanism of load transfer and the influence of the constructive aspects.The results obtained through this new methodology will be compared with experimental results, obtained from static and dynamic load tests and also with other empiric procedures that use the results obtained from in-situ tests to evaluate directly the bearing capacity of deep foundations.

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 interactions between the artifact and the design process decisions are considered. Rational Design Theory consists of normative decision theory applied to design process decisions, and is complemented by a decision-theory-inspired conceptual model of design. The application of decision analysis to design process decisions provides a structured framework for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of design methods. The qualitative evaluation capabilities are demonstrated in a review of the systematic design method of Pahl and Beitz. The quantitative evaluation capabilities are demonstrated in two example problems. In these two quantitative examples, Value of Information analysis is investigated as a strategy for deciding when to perform an analysis to gather additional information in support of a choice between two design concepts. Both quantitative examples demonstrate that Value of Information achieves very good results when compared to a more comprehensive decision analysis that allows for a sequence of analyses to be performed.

As fundações dos elementos de apoio de uma linha aérea de transmissão de energia elétrica situam-se ao longo de extensos traçados, onde diferentes condições de apoio para as estruturas são encontradas em razão da variação natural dos horizontes. Tal configuração pode levar alternativamente a se programarem estudos e sondagens especiais em cada local de suporte, fazendo crescer os custos e prazos de projeto, ou ao contrário, reduzindo drasticamente a investigação, com prejuízos evidentes ao planejamento, execução e economia da obra de implantação da linha de transmissão. Dessa maneira, são organizados e propostos procedimentos para avaliação do terreno segundo as suas orografia, hidrografia, geologia e pedologia e do ambiente atmosférico local, cujas manifestações são capazes de impor severas solicitações às torres e, indiretamente, às fundações. É eleita a região da bacia do rio da Prata para constituir o grande cenário do estudo, quer pela abundância de dados e informações disponíveis sobre linhas de transmissão já em carga, ou ainda em construção, nessa região. Assim sendo, desenvolve-se uma metodização para orientar o estudo dessas fundações, considerando o conjunto torre x terreno x fundação e buscando soluções técnicas convenientes e economicamente aceitáveis, atendendo assim ao binário desempenho-custo. Para as torres são considerados os modelos auto-suportados e estaiados, o terreno é variado entre algumas categorias identificadas na região e as fundações são representadas pelas superficiais, em sapatas, e pelas profundas do tipo tubulão. Buscando, ainda, auxiliar no aprimoramento dos projetos de fundações para suportes de linhas de transmissão, é desenvolvido um estudo de confiabilidade estrutural tendo como modelo algumas das fundações pré-selecionadas para a metodização primariamente desenvolvida. São determinadas as probabilidades de falha dessas fundações através do programa FERUM e, a partir do levantamento dos prejuízos financeiros causados pela falha desses elementos, determina-se o risco de falha. Por último, é desenvolvido um estudo paramétrico para avaliar a influência do projeto de fundação, do tipo de solo e da velocidade de vento sobre a probabilidade de falha.
The transmission line tower foundations are executed following extensive paths, where different structural foundation conditions are found, in reason of natural horizontal ground layer variations. Then, one may alternatively to schedule and to execute special and specific studies or, conversely, to substantially reduce the geothecnical investigation, with sensible economical loses in the transmission line design and behavior. In such way, a methodology is proposed to evaluate conveniently the site according to its geology, orography , hydrography and pedology as well to related atmospheric local manifestations, able to submit severe mechanical solicitations to the towers and their foundations. In this way, one proposes a methodology to govern the study of these foundations, considering the tower x site x foundation relations and searching for convenient technical and acceptable economical solutions. Guyed and self-supported models are considered for towers, and the foundations are represented by footings, as the superficial type, and piers, as the deep type. The rio do Prata basin is chosen to constitute the large scenery of the study, because its abundant available data concerned to already operational transmission lines, or still under design and construction ones. Moreover, seeking the improvement of the tower foundation design a study based on structural reliability is developed considering some foundation models selected as mentioned above. Foundation failure probabilities are determined by the FERUM computational program and the risk of failure is obtained from economical damages caused by foundation failures. In the last, a parametric study is developed to evaluate how does the failure probability behave according to variations in the foundation soil, wind velocity and footing dimensions and depth.

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 it also begins to develop a quantitative foundation for EC design based on several mathematical methods. EC designs can be analyzed quite simply by understanding that they are statically determinate. Because of this, the equations of equilibrium can be used to validate the rules and the nesting force window that have been defined by Blanding [1999]. In addition, a generalized method using the equations of equilibrium has been developed in this thesis to analyze an EC design based on the locations of the constraints and to find the nesting force window. The direct linearization method (DLM) is another mathematical method used to quantify information in an EC design. While EC designs provide many advantages, some EC assemblies may be "better" than others. A quantitative measure of goodness is developed in this thesis using the DLM. The goodness value assigned to each design through this process can either be used to make a decision on an individual design, or it can be used to compare similar EC designs. Finally, the robust nature of EC design is examined using a Monte Carlo simulation. In general, the results show that EC designs have a higher rate of assembly than similar designs that are over-constrained. They are more robust. In addition, EC designs have lower assembly error than the similarly over-constrained assemblies.

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. Parallel developments to the performance based design of pavement foundations (allowing for superior performance) and in situ testing required the support of laboratory based performance tests. These laboratory based tests were required to determine material performance parameters (elastic modulus and resistance to permanent deformation) for both unbound and hydraulically bound pavement foundation materials. A review of the available laboratory apparatus indicated that they were either; unrealistic (and hence unable to provide the required material performance parameters), or overly complex and more suited to fundamental research. Therefore, the requirement for developmental research work was identified. The research reported herein details the development, manufacture and initial evaluation of simplified laboratory apparatus (the Springbox for unbound materials and static stiffness test for hydraulically bound mixtures) designed to produce the performance parameters of elastic modulus and relative resistance to permanent deformation for pavement foundation materials. The equipment and test procedure evaluation was undertaken across a range of materials, giving initial guidance on likely in situ performance. The innovative laboratory apparatus and materials guidance (including the potential to use recycled and secondary aggregates) was incorporated into key Highways Agency specification and guidance documents, which in turn influence construction practice outside of motorways and major trunk roads. This research concludes by outlining a number of recommendations for continued development and evaluation, including feeding back data sets from long term in situ performance testing for subsequent refinement of assumptions.

Abstract:
Abstract Proper foundation design is an essential component in the design process of many types of rotating machinery. Most foundations are designed for static loading, however dynamic foundation design is often overlooked or considered a secondary check. Failing to consider the dynamics of the foundation during the design phase can result in excessive machinery vibrations resulting in failures, forced shutdowns, and expensive in-situ repairs. Foundation dynamics are commonly assessed using finite element analysis (FEA) during the design phase with modal and forced response analyses; however the interactions of machinery, piping, foundation, and soil create a potentially nonlinear system with many degrees-of-freedom. In many applications, it is necessary to design the mechanical natural frequencies of the foundation to avoid excitation mechanisms of the machinery. With modern variable speed machines, accurate prediction of the mechanical natural frequencies is often required to place them in narrow frequency bands between operating orders. These systems are inherently difficult to accurately model, however combining FEA modeling with field measurement techniques allows the possibility of field “tunable” foundation designs. For example, pile foundations can be designed with alternative pile configurations to be connected during commissioning based on the results of modal testing. Modal and vibration data collected on-site can also be used to calibrate the frequencies and mode shapes predicted by the model. This calibrated model is then used to evaluate the effects of proposed changes to the skid and suggest modifications to fix or reduce the problems in existing machinery foundations.

Abstract:
Hybrid subsea foundations (HSF) are combined foundation systems of mudmats and piles. The primary motivation of combining these two foundation types is to provide greater resistance to large horizontal loads in addition to vertical loads, for which use of mudmats alone will require it to be of impractically large size. The contribution from the piles in the lateral capacity helps to limit the size of the mudmat, which is critical in subsea environment. In a brownfield situation, this is sometimes a hard limit with only limited space available to place a new mudmat in the existing field layout. Also, in some cases, the HSF may prove to be a more economical option for resisting large horizontal loads compared to, for example, to suction piles. While the authors are aware of some scattered project-specific design and use of subsea mudmat-pile hybrid foundations by individual contractors and operators, there is no industry-wide publicly known best practice currently available. These designs of HSF appear to be generally based on simplified analytical approach that require superimposition of conventional shallow and deep foundation capacity calculation methods, hence violates the static and kinematic compatibility requirements fundamental for a sound and robust prediction procedure. This paper attempts to provide some insight into the behavior of mudmat-pile foundations as a hybrid integrated system numerically using finite element modeling and analysis (FEA). The interactions between the mudmat and the piles in an HSF are complex and hence a FEA-based approach is considered most suitable. The FEA model in this study included the mudmat, the corner piles, the pile-mudmat connections and the seabed soil. Sensitivity of the HSF capacity to the size of the piles (length and diameter), the connection type of the piles to the mudmat, and the number of piles are selectively investigated and the results presented. Based on these results some pertinent observations relevant to design of HSFs are also given. While the study is of limited scope, it offers important insights into the effects of the primary design variables on HSF’s capacities. Therefore, the authors hope the information herein will be of benefit to practicing subsea engineers who might have to face choices to consider mudmat-pile hybrid foundations as a real option for their projects.

Abstract:
Design principles are created to codify and formalize design knowledge so that innovative, archival practices may be communicated and used to advance design science and solve future design problems, especially the pinnacle, wicked, and grand-challenge problems that face the world and cross-cutting markets. Principles are part of a family of knowledge explication, which also include guidelines, heuristics, rules of thumb, and strategic constructs. Definitions including a range of explications are explored from a number of seminal papers. Based on this analysis, the authors pose formalized definitions for the three most prevalent terms in the literature — principles, guidelines, and heuristics. Current research methods and practices with design principles are categorized and characterized. In analyzing the methodology for discovering, deriving, formulating and validating design principles, the goal is to understand and advance the theoretical basis of design, the foundations of new tools and techniques, and the complex systems of the future. Suggestions for the future of design principles research methodology for added rigor and repeatability are proposed.

Abstract:
This paper describes a new framework for the geotechnical design of pipeline-related foundations (e.g. foundations for PLETs and Tees) designed to slide directly over the seabed during pipeline operation. This approach can present considerable savings in terms of fabrication and construction costs because of reduced foundation sizes. Over the design life, a pipeline is likely to endure many thermal/ pressure load cycles due to product and flow rate variations during operation. These cycles result in the foundation sliding back and forth across the seabed within a footprint. These loads and corresponding motions impose cyclic shear stresses on the soil that can (i) degrade foundation bearing capacity and (ii) cause additional foundation settlement. Often the key design consideration is whether or not the cumulative settlements will eventually compromise the integrity of the pipeline system to which the PLET and its associated foundation are attached. In addition to consolidation and creep, two key mechanisms are shown to control cyclic foundation settlement: (i) bearing mechanism induced burial and (ii) cyclic shear stress driven soil volume reduction. Their relative significance depends on the soil conditions (soil state) and input pipeline movements. The paper presents key aspects required for the design of direct on-seabed sliding foundations, including the soil parameters and associated testing required. Validation of the design approach is illustrated by comparison to laboratory model tests performed on carbonate soils. The impact of soil properties on potential foundation performance is illustrated with a design example and the importance of conducting site specific soil testing and settlement analyses is emphasised. It is also illustrated that close integration of the pipeline, structural and geotechnical analysis is necessary to reliably quantify system performance of these novel foundations.

Abstract:
Canadian provisions allow two alternatives for the seismic design of foundations: capacity-protected (CP) and not capacity-protected (NCP). CP foundations should develop the full resistance of seismic force resisting system (SFRS) and are favoured whenever possible. With such foundations the inelastic activity occurs predominantly in the superstructure, unexpectedly high seismic demands are better managed and the global system deformations are not increased significantly by foundation rotations. NCP foundations develop a partial capacity of the SFRS. Being weaker than the SFRS, such foundations uplift and rotate thus limiting the forces transmitted to the superstructure. Conversely, the foundation rotations increase displacements of the superstructure which must be considered in design. Canadian design practice shows that foundations of steel frame buildings are often large causing a significant increase in construction cost, which may lead to selection of alternative structural solutions built in different materials. Knowing that the design requirements were developed mainly considering the seismic behaviour of concrete shear walls, characterized by the development of a single plastic hinge at the base, it appears necessary to validate their applicability to steel braced frames that exhibit a distributed yielding mechanism, associated with much larger overstrength and higher capacity design forces on foundations. In this study, 3-storey steel buildings with X-type tension-compression bracing were designed for Vancouver, Canada, to examine different design strategies for foundation design. Two soil types were considered. The foundation design followed Canadian and US seismic design approaches. Non-linear time history analyses were then performed using the OpenSees program. The model included the inelastic frame behaviour and the nonlinear soil response. The forces imposed on foundations obtained from nonlinear time history analysis are compared with design predictions. The foundation displacements and stresses in the soil are also examined to assess the consequences of foundation flexibility on the global structural seismic response.

Abstract:
The Sagamore Parkway Bridge consists of twin parallel bridges over the Wabash River in Lafayette, IN. The old steel-truss eastbound bridge was demolished in November 2016 and replaced by a new seven-span concrete bridge. The new bridge consists of two end-bents (bent 1 and bent 8) and six interior piers (pier 2 to pier 7) that are founded on closed-ended and open-ended driven pipe piles, respectively. During bridge construction, one of the bridge piers (pier 7) and its foundation elements were selected for instrumentation for monitoring the long-term response of the bridge to dead and live loads. The main goals of the project were (1) to compare the design bridge loads (dead and live loads) with the actual measured loads and (2) to study the transfer of the superstructure loads to the foundation and the load distribution among the piles in the group. This report presents in detail the site investigation data, the instrumentation schemes used for load and settlement measurements, and the response of the bridge pier and its foundation to dead and live loads at different stages during and after bridge construction. The measurement results include the load-settlement curves of the bridge pier and the piles supporting it, the load transferred from the bridge pier to its foundation, the bearing capacity of the pile cap, the load eccentricity, and the distribution of loads within the pier’s cross section and among the individual piles in the group. The measured dead and live loads are compared with those estimated in bridge design.

These guidelines provide guidance to engineers responsible for installing or repamng the foundations of reciprocating compressors. If followed, the guidance should help assure an installation with a long life of trouble-free service. They address, in particular, mechanical integrity of the compressor/foundation installation, with emphasis on design of mounts, anchor bolts, and foundation block to carry the required dynamic loads. They defer to existing texts on vibration engineering for foundation blocks on their soil.

Full text
Abstract:
This report presents findings of a research effort aimed at reviewing and updating existing Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) specifications and manuals regarding the use of geosynthetic materials in pavements. The project consisted of three tasks: evaluate current IDOT practice related to the use of geosynthetics; review research and state of the practice on geosynthetics applications, available products, design methods, and specifications; and propose recommendations for geosynthetic solutions in pavements to modernize IDOT’s practices and manuals. The review of IDOT specifications revealed that geotextiles are the most used geosynthetic product in Illinois, followed by geogrids. Several of IDOT’s manuals have comprehensive guidelines to properly design and construct pavements with geosynthetics, but several knowledge gaps and potential areas for modernization and adoption of new specifications still exist. Based on the review of the available design methods and the most relevant geosynthetic properties and characterization methods linked to field performance, several updates to IDOT’s practice were proposed. Areas of improvement are listed as follows. First, establish proper mechanisms for using geogrids, geocells, and geotextiles in subgrade restraint and base stabilization applications. This includes using shear wave transducers, i.e., bender elements, to quantify local stiffness enhancements and adopting the Giroud and Han design method for subgrade restraint applications. Second, update IDOT’s Subgrade Stability Manual to include property requirements for geogrids, geotextiles, and geocells suitable for subgrade restraint applications. Third, establish proper standards on stabilization, separation, and pumping resistance for geotextiles by incorporating recent research findings on geotextile clogging and permeability criteria. Fourth, promote the use of modern geosynthetic products, such as geotextiles with enhanced lateral drainage, and fifth, elaborate on proper methods for construction/quality control measures for pavements with geosynthetics.
