The study collected a great deal of testing data, including the physical properties of soil before dynamic compaction and in-situ test and laboratory test data after dynamic consolidation, from twenty-eight engineering practices about dynamic consolidation granite residual soils(GRS) backfill foundation in power construction in Guangdong province over the past fifteen years. The backfill were classified into three types according to the fraction of soil, the corresponding foundations were classified into three types too. Base on the plate loading testing (PLT), the suitability of testing the bearing capacity and deformation modulus of dynamic Consolidation backfill foundation, by dynamic penetrating testing (DPT), standard penetrating testing (SPT) and laboratory soil testing (LST), were evaluated. The statistic relationships between SPT, DPT blow count and the bearing capacity, deformation modulus of dynamic consolidation backfill foundation were also generalized; as well as the factors influent the testing results were analyzed. And the accuracy of adopting two common region specifications to determine the bearing capacity and deformation modulus were analyzes. This article has some reference value on ground treatment detection of dynamic consolidation backfill foundation with similar engineering geological conditions.

ABSTRACTThis paper reports the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) analyses of the “in situ” test carried out during the pre-operational stage of the FEBEX project. The determination of parameters has been performed using the results of the characterization stage and other available information. The results of the analyses provide a good understanding of expected test behaviour. This understanding is enhanced by the performance of a quite extensive programme of 1-D sensitivity analyses in which the values of critical parameters are varied. Two dimensional effects are discussed on the basis of the results of 2-D axisymmetric THM analyses carried out using a longitudinal section that provides a better representation of real test geometry.

Main Component

Determination of pile bearing capacity from the in-situ tests has developed considerably due to the significant development of their technology. The project presented in this paper is a combination of two approaches, artificial neural networks and main component analyses that allow the development of a neural network model that provides a more accurate prediction of axial load bearing capacity based on the SPT test data. The retropropagation multi-layer perceptron with Bayesian regularization (RB) was used in this model. This was established by the incorporation of about 260 data, obtained from the published literature, of experimental programs for large displacement driven piles. The PCA method is proposed for compression and suppression of the correlation between these data. This will improve the performance of generalization of the model.

RESUMO: Em meio aos diversos métodos utilizados no Brasil para determinação da capacidade de carga de fundações, a grande maioria parte do índice de resistência à penetração (NSPT). Para o caso de pequenas edificações, devido a fatores geralmente econômicos, a experiência ou a prática regional costumam prevalecer. Sendo assim, são elaborados, muitas vezes, projetos sem um procedimento de cálculo fundamentado em parâmetros comprovados por ensaios geotécnicos, podendo ocasionar problemas na edificação, como recalques excessivos, ou, até mesmo, comprometer a segurança da estrutura. Dessa forma, técnicas mais simples e de baixo custo, como o DPL (Dynamic Probing Light), podem ser uma opção para situações de pequenas cargas, viabilizando projetos fundamentados em ensaios in situ. Partindo de investigações com o DPL, este trabalho tem o objetivo de dimensionar fundações superficiais e profundas para edificações de pequeno porte através de algumas das principais metodologias disponíveis na literatura e verificar a sua eficiência. Por meio de resultados de campanhas de sondagens SPT (Standard Penetration Test) e DPL no campo experimental da Universidade de Fortaleza (UNIFOR), determinou-se a capacidade de carga de fundações superficiais e profundas fazendo aplicação dos índices NSPT e NSPT equivalente obtido pela correlação com o DPL. Identificou-se que essa correlação apresentou coeficiente de determinação satisfatório entre os parâmetros obtidos nos ensaios SPT e DPL para o terreno em questão, mostrando-se o DPL ser uma alternativa pertinente, em termos técnicos para projetos de fundações de obras de pequeno porte.ABSTRACT: Among the various methods used in Brazil of the determination of the bearing capacity on foundations, most part uses the standard penetration resistance (NSPT). For small constructions, due to economic factors generally, experience or regional practice usually prevails. Thus, projects without a reasoned calculation procedure in parameters supported by geotechnical tests are often designed, and may cause problems in the building, as excessive settlements, or even compromise the safety of the structure. In this way, simple and low cost techniques such as DPL (Dynamic Probing Light) may be an option for small loads situations, enabling projects based on in situ tests. This paper proposes to calculate the dimensions of shallow and deep foundations for small constructions and check its efficiency using DPL tests. Through the results of SPT (Standard Penetration Test) and DPL tests in the experimental field of the University of Fortaleza (UNIFOR), the determination of the bearing capacity in shallow and deep foundations was done using NSPT index and equivalent NSPT index obtained by the correlation with DPL. A correlation with satisfactory coefficient of determination was obtained between SPT and DPL tests parameters for the analyzed field, showing up the DPL as an appropriate alternative in technical terms for foundation design of small constructions.

The paper describes the results of site investigation and laboratory testing and the analysis performed for the determination of foundation shear strength at the Oldman River Dam site in southwestern Alberta, Canada. Horizontally bedded claystones, siltstones, and sandstones at the site contain relatively weak bedding-plane shears that adversely affect foundation stability. Data on the bedding-plane shear characteristics were collected by mapping, borehole coring, shaft exploration, and large-diameter sampling. Shear planes of structure-wide continuity were identified. Numerous laboratory direct shear tests were done to measure in situ and residual shear strengths. The design angle of shearing resistance of selected continuous bedding-plane shears was evaluated by summing the representative residual angle of shearing resistance and components of the angle of shearing resistance due to in situ state, roughness, and thickness of the bedding-plane shears. Relatively flat dam slopes were found to be required for stability. The methods used at the Oldman River Dam should be applicable at other sites located in flat-lying mudrock sequences. Key words: Oldman River Dam, foundation shear strength, sedimentary rocks, bedding-plane shear, residual angle of shearing resistance, in situ state, roughness, thickness.
