Abstract: In practice the situation often arises where extra load needs to be added onto existing foundations. This can arise due to the installation of additional equipment in a building, or to the construction of new floors, etc. ...

Abstract: Whereas moist-tamped specimens of silts and sands are most used in engineering practice to characterize tailings, offshore sediments, and fluvial/alluvial deposits, design parameters derived from moist-tamping data sets ...
