Abstract: The suitability of selected cone penetration test-based shear-wave velocity correlations is assessed for use with Puyallup River alluvium in Puget Sound, Washington. The correlation models are found to be biased for Puyallup ...

Abstract: This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the monotonic, cyclic, and postcyclic response of a medium stiff, plastic, lightly-overconsolidated, alluvial clayey silt deposit. The laboratory investigation is ...

Abstract: This study presents the use of controlled blasting for the determination of the in situ dynamic response of a sand deposit at a depth of 25 m under effective overburden stresses of approximately 250 kPa. The ...

Abstract: Pipe ramming installations generally induce high levels of ground vibrations that may affect the structural integrity of nearby buildings and utilities. This paper investigates the ground vibrations associated with pipe ...

Abstract: Departments of transportation are increasingly embracing pipe ramming for culvert installation under roadways due to its cost effectiveness and ability to mitigate problems associated with open-cut trenching. Despite the ...

Abstract: Installation of new buried pipes and culverts, and replacement of existing ones utilizing trenchless technologies, is increasing in popularity because these methods mitigate many of the surface disturbances associated with ...

Abstract: Pipe ramming installations generally induce high levels of ground vibrations that may affect the structural integrity of nearby buildings and utilities. This paper investigates the ground vibrations associated with pipe ...
