Capacity Prediction

Jack-in piling is environmental friendly system enabling placement of the pile into soil layer with minimum disturbance. It works with very low noise, low vibration, allows piling in confined area, relatively very fast in term of installation rate, better quality control and very fast in mobility. The main issue regarding the pile is bearing capacity; the ability of the pile to withstand axial load without failure. This study attempts to find the correlation between jack-in force and ultimate pile bearing capacity. The result of 5 piling record on clayey layer soil indicates that there is a good correlation between jack-in force and empirical ultimate pile bearing capacity.

Hysteretic Performance

Nonlinear numerical analysis for the force performance of frame middle joint is processed in this paper with the finite element software of ABAQUS. Compared with experimental results, numerical analysis results are found to be reasonable. Then the influence of factors such as shaped steel ratio and axial-load ratio are contrastively analyzed. The results show that shaped steel ratio has a greater influence on the bearing capacity and hysteretic performance of the structure, but the axial-load ratio has less influence.

Abstract: 7 square steel tubular columns were tested to discuss the ultimate axial bearing capacity, ductility performance and the steel consumption under stiffened by steel belts and binding bars of different cross-sections. Test results indicate that only by increasing fewer amounts of steel usage, stiffened square CFST columns with binding bars can not only improve the overall effects of restraint and alleviate regional local buckling between the binding bars, but also improve the bearing capacity of concrete filled square steel tubular columns. The utility benefits and the economical benefit is considerable, deserving extensive use.

Geocell Reinforcement

In this study effectiveness of lime stabilization and geocell reinforcement techniques of roads was investigated for low bearing capacity subgrades. For this purpose, a large-scale plate load test was designed and used. Clayey soil with high moisture content was reinforced with different percentages of hydrated lime (5%, 10%, 15% dry weight of the soil). The deflection and stress results indicated that lime stabilization or geocell reinforcement alone did not significantly increase subgrade reaction coefficient and bearing capacity values. Promising results were obtained on stabilization of weak subgrade when both techniques were used together. It was determined that cellular reinforcement increased the reaction modulus coefficient value and bearing capacity of the subgrade soil by more than 15% compared to the lime stabilization.

AbstractThe North American Soil Moisture Database (NASMD) was initiated in 2011 to provide support for developing climate forecasting tools, calibrating land surface models, and validating satellite-derived soil moisture algorithms. The NASMD has collected data from over 30 soil moisture observation networks providing millions of in situ soil moisture observations in all 50 states, as well as Canada and Mexico. It is recognized that the quality of measured soil moisture in NASMD is highly variable because of the diversity of climatological conditions, land cover, soil texture, and topographies of the stations, and differences in measurement devices (e.g., sensors) and installation. It is also recognized that error, inaccuracy, and imprecision in the data can have significant impacts on practical operations and scientific studies. Therefore, developing an appropriate quality control procedure is essential to ensure that the data are of the best quality. In this study, an automated quality control approach is developed using the North American Land Data Assimilation System, phase 2 (NLDAS-2), Noah soil porosity, soil temperature, and fraction of liquid and total soil moisture to flag erroneous and/or spurious measurements. Overall results show that this approach is able to flag unreasonable values when the soil is partially frozen. A validation example using NLDAS-2 multiple model soil moisture products at the 20-cm soil layer showed that the quality control procedure had a significant positive impact in Alabama, North Carolina, and west Texas. It had a greater impact in colder regions, particularly during spring and autumn. Over 433 NASMD stations have been quality controlled using the methodology proposed in this study, and the algorithm will be implemented to control data quality from the other ~1200 NASMD stations in the near future.

The capacity-to-torque ratio, Kt, has been used in the design of helical piles and anchors for over half a century. Numerous research efforts have been conducted to accurately predict this capaci-ty-to-torque ratio. However, almost of all these Kt factors are based on shaft geometry alone. The ca-pacity-to-torque ratio described herein was found to depend on the shaft diameter, shaft geometry, helix configuration, axial load direction, and installation torque. In this study, 799 full scale static load tests in compression and tension were conducted on helical piles of varying shaft diameters, shaft geometry, and helix configurations in different soil types (sand, clay, and weathered bedrock). The collected data were used to study the effect of these variables on the capacity-to-torque ratio and resulted in developing a more reliable capacity-to-torque ratio, Km, that considers the effect of the variables mentioned above. The study shows that the published Kt values in AC358 (ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria for Helical Piles Systems and Devices) underestimate the pile capacity at low torque and overestimate it at high torque. In addition, and based on probability analysis, the predicted capacity using the modified Km results in a higher degree of accuracy than the one based on the published Kt values in AC358.
