Abstract: This paper presents a numerical investigation of the effect of a verification core hole on the point bearing capacity of drilled shafts installed in clay shales. The verification core extracted at the shaft tip may reduce ...

Abstract: Verification core holes are important tools in ascertaining the properties of the bed rock at the bottom of drilled shafts. However, it is unknown whether verification core holes fill during concrete placement; if they ...

Abstract: Falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing is commonly used to estimate subgrade resilient modulus (

Abstract: This paper presents the implementation of the frequency ratio (FR) method to evaluate the contribution of every factor on sinkholes and develop a sinkhole susceptibility map for East Central Florida (ECF). The FR is a ...
