Shear strength and bearing capacity of reinforced concrete deep beams
… usually fail by crushing of concrete in the bearing zone above the supports. In order to increase the load carrying capacity of deep beans, bearing strength around the supports should be enhanced. The first part of this study involved the investigation of bearing capacity of plain and …

The bearing capacity and settlement of gravel piles in clay
The writer has been interested in the subject of gravel piles for a number of years and has been suprised at the lack of rational design methods. When the piles are inserted in sand their purpose is mainly one of densification and their effectiveness is usually measured by a Dutch Cone Penetrometer …

A Framework for Assessing Lower-Bound Bearing Capacity of Sandy Coastal Sediments from Remotely Sensed Imagery
… content, grain size, unit weight, porosity, and bearing capacity were collected. Using the field measurements, this research (1) developed a framework to estimate the moisture content of sandy beach sediments from satellite-based optical images; (2) investigated the necessary collection …

A Tractor Mounted Device Used for Comparison of In-Situ Soil Bearing Capacity Between Two Tillage Regimes
… hitch of a tractor to measure in-situ soil bearing capacity and cone index was developed and tested. The device contained a footing for bearing capacity tests and a probe for cone penetrometer tests. A hydraulic cylinder powered by the tractor's auxiliary hydraulic circuit forced the footing …

A parametric investigation on the shear strength and bearing capacity of Cenozoic Berea Red Sand with geosynthetic reinforcements
… it, this study was undertaken to investigate the bearing capacity and shear strength of Berea Red sands with and without reinforcing agents. In addition, the concept of reinforcing materials was investigated with the probability of improving the Berea Red sands regarding the abovementioned …

Sensor based determination of the fruit bearing capacity in Malus x domestica (Borkh.) aimed at precise crop load management
… in flower or fruit set and the photosynthetic capacity of the trees, which frequently occurs in commercial orchards. Because of the variability among the trees, uniform crop load management can lead to sub-optimal numbers of fruit per tree when targeting homogenous fruit qualities. Currently, …

Geotechnical behavior of shell foundations
… of shell configuration on the ultimate bearing capacity, settlement, contact pressure distribution, and stresses within the soil mass, were investigated. Special loading tests using colored sand layers in a Plexiglas tank were performed to determine the failure mechanism of shell …

Problemas de estado de equilíbrio limite nos solos: seu estudo e sua programação
… according to Sokolovskii's theory, specially the bearing capacity problem. Finally a computer program in FORTRAN LANGUAGE to calculate the stress distribution at limit equilibrium of the soil mass. This program is applied to bearing capacity and to slope stability studies.

An axisymmetrical model for a single vertical pile in sand
… numerical and theoretical investigations on the bearing capacity of a single pile in sand under axisymmetrical loading conditions. An extensive literature review for the existing theories is presented. The published reports showed a wide range of discrepancies exists among previous theories …

Cone penetration testing in polar snow
… considered, particularly in estimating surface bearing capacity. Almost 100 CPT tests were carried out and both qualitative and quantitative analysis of data was undertaken. Additional supporting testing in- cluded snow density assessment, snow strength assessment, extrapolation of CPT data via …

Settlement of Structures on Granular Soils Subjected to Static and Earthquake Loads
… soil mass influenced by footing loads below bearing capacity level. A database of structure earthquake-induced settlement records is developed. The database is used to evaluate the proposed method for non-failed structures and to provide an empirical tool for estimating the …

Intermediation frictions in equity markets
… comove very differently with shocks to the risk bearing capacity of financial intermediaries. After accounting for observable stock characteristics, excess returns on more intermediated stocks have higher betas on contemporaneous shocks to intermediary willingness to take risk and are more …

Reinforcement of pavement subgrade using granular fill and a geosynthetic layer
… use of imported quality fill to improve the load-bearing capacity of the subgrade has limited benefits, which leads to the necessity of an alternative construction approach to attain the necessary strength of the soil structure. The use of geosynthetics in soil offers a better alternative to …
