Book Description
The design and operation of a conceptually simple, low-cost chamber for calibration of cone penetrometers and other in situ devices is described. The chamber weighs over 5500 kg and houses a 4400-kg soil sample that is 1.5 m in diameter and height. Operations in the chamber are automated using a self-equilibrating hydraulic insertion frame, a soil pluviation system for sand placement, a vacuum unit for removing sand, and an automatic data acquisition system. The results from a series of cone penetration tests in Monterey No. 0/30 sand, using standard and miniature cones, are also discussed. These tests indicate that the chamber design was successful and also that nearly homogeneous samples could be prepared at different relative densities using interchangeable rainer plates.

Preparation of Large-Size Cohesive Specimens for Calibration Chamber Testing
Author: GZ. Voyiadjis
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Calibration chamber
Languages : en
Pages : 11
Book Description
This paper describes the design of an automated slurry consolidometer and calibration chamber system used to prepare largesize cohesive soil specimens for testing in-situ devices, model foundations, and ground anchors. A two-stage technique for the preparattion of homogeneous cohesive specimens subjected to a known stress history is described. Briefly summarized are the data acquisition/control system and the instrumentation details for monitoring the spatial pore pressure distributions in the specimen, the vertical and lateral stresses on the specimen, and specimen settlement during slurry consolidation and subsequent reconsolidation in the chamber. The specimens prepared were reproducible and of uniform quality as indicated by the settlement and pore pressure dissipation histories and by the water content results obtained from samples taken from chamber specimens. The homogeneity of the specimens is confirmed by the cone penetration test results.

Design of Piles Under Cyclic Loading
Author: Alain Puech
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1786301989
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
Recent developments in the fields of energy, transport and industrial engineering have led to the emergence of new types of structures and infrastructures subject to variable stresses, for which the usual methods for designing pile foundations are now inadequate. The recommendations presented in this book will help to partly fill this technical gap by proposing a methodological approach and calculation methods to take account of the effects of cyclic loads in the design of foundations on piles. These are based on both laboratory and full scale experiments, and on modeling carried out within the framework of the national SOLCYP project.
