The Effect of Spatial Correlation of Cone Tip Resistance on the Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations

The effect of directional behaviour of correlation structure of cone tip resistance on the bearing capacity of shallow strip footing resting on cohesionless soil deposit in 2-D random field is analysed using probabilistic approach. The results obtained from the analysis show that the assumption of perfect (or infinite) correlation of cone tip resistance data leads to lower values of probability of failure. In contrast, the isotropic assumption of correlation behaviour based on vertical scale of fluctuation leads to higher values of probability of failure. The results also show that the transformation model would play a major role in the evaluation of variability of design property. In conclusion, the need for a proper evaluation methodology for calculation of correlation lengths of soil properties and their influence in foundation design is highlighted.     

Velocity anisotropy and symmetry of dunite fabric

Summary From the space distribution of P- and S-wave velocities, determined at a hydrostatic pressure of 1 GPa, complete sets of elastic constants were calculated for the Twin Sisters dunite. It was found that orthorhombic symmetry is a reasonable approximation for the dunite sample; with one exception the deviations of the individual constants, determined from different waves, do not exceed a few percent. As a seismological application a simple model of a 120 km thick lithosphere, formed by the dunite, was considered for calculating the differences in the time arrivals of SV and SH waves. The greatest time differences, about 3s, were obtained in the vertical plane containing the direction of the greatest P-wave velocity, however, for the real lithosphere we estimate effects which only cause differences of the order of 1s.

Reliability assessment of internal stability of reinforced soil structures: A pseudo-dynamic approach

A methodology for reliability based optimum design of reinforced soil structures subjected to horizontal and vertical sinusoidal excitation based on pseudo-dynamic approach is presented. The tensile strength of reinforcement required to maintain the stability is computed using logarithmic spiral failure mechanism. The backfill soil properties, geometric and strength properties of reinforcement are treated as random variables. Effects of parameters like soil friction angle, horizontal and vertical seismic accelerations, shear and primary wave velocities, amplification factors for seismic acceleration on the component and system probability of failures in relation to tension and pullout capacities of reinforcement have been discussed. In order to evaluate the validity of the present formulation, static and seismic reinforcement force coefficients computed by the present method are compared with those given by other authors. The importance of the shear wave velocity in the estimation of the reliability of the structure is highlighted. The Ditlevsen's bounds of system probability of failure are also computed by taking into account the correlations between three failure modes, which is evaluated using the direction cosines of the tangent planes at the most probable points of failure.     

Elastic properties of garnet solid-solution series

The elastic constants of sixteen garnet specimens of wide variety in chemical composition are accurately determined by means of the rectangular parallelpiped resonance method. The dependence of the elastic properties on chemical composition is analyzed using the present data and those for seven garnets investigated by other authors. The property X_i of a garnet solid solution i is given by a linear addition law in terms of the mole fraction n_ij of component j; X_i = Σn_ijX_j where the X_j's are the properties of the end-members j (j = pyrope, almandine, spessartine, grossular and andradite). The X_j's are determined for density ρ, bulk modulus K, and shear moduli C_s = (C₁₁ ? C₁₂)/2 and C₄₄. No systematic deviation is observed from the linear addition law for the elastic moduli nor for other quantities such as the elastic wave velocities. The extrapolated elastic moduli (Mbar) of the end-members are:

Morphological evolution of the Krishna delta     

P. V. L. P. Babu 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》1975,3(1):21-27

The study of the modern delta of the Krishna river has yielded data to identify ancient deltas and their characteristics. Continental landforms like levees and abandoned channels, marine landforms like beach ridges, swamps and spits are recorded from the study of aerial photos. The evolution of the delta is discussed, comparative ages for the landforms arrived at. The history of the delta is reconstructed based on the relationship between the former shore lines and the sub-delta lobes. Delta prospects for oil and gas are indicated at the intersecting zones of the abandoned channels and strandlines.
