Segmented footing system evaluation
Foundation construction for spread wall footings normally involves constructing formwork, placing reinforcement, and pouring and curing concrete, regardless of footing size or the amount of anticipated load. Recently, the National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) has developed a complete …

FOOTING FIXITY OF BRIDGE PIER WITH END-BEARING PILE FOUNDATION
<p>The degree of footing fixity G value of a column is a parameter which represents the rotation restraint at the base of a column. By using G values, the effective length factor K of the column can be calculated. The K value is used to check if the effect of slenderness needs to be considered for …

The Feminine Harp as Feminist Tool: Early Professional Footing for Women in Mid-Twentieth-Century America
<p>In 1930s North America, women—for the first time—were accorded permanent principal positions in significant American orchestras. Edna Phillips, Alice Chalifoux, and Sylvia Meyer, all students of the legendary harp pedagogue Carlos Salzedo, have been celebrated as pioneers for the prestigious …

Are people with diabetes on an equal footing? Examining administrative healthcare data for variables associated with diabetes foot-related hospital admissions in Aotearoa New Zealand
Aim: We investigated hospitalisations caused by diabetes-related foot disease (DFD) in Aotearoa New Zealand, focusing on inequalities between Māori and non-Māori, preceding contacts with the health service as opportunities for earlier intervention, strategies to improve outcomes, and gaps in …

Simultaneous effect of slenderness, spatially varying excitation and support flexibility on dynamics of rocking bridges
… design has been proposed that allows the footing to be temporarily and partially separated. The first rocking bridge in the world, i.e., the South Rangitikei viaduct, was built in New Zealand and has survived several thousand earthquakes. Studies on rocking bridges have been conducted. …

Deformation mechanisms beneath shallow foundations
… curve to make direct predictions of footing load-settlement behaviour. Centrifuge experiments were conducted to investigate the mechanisms governing the settlement of shallow circular foundations on clay and saturated sand models. Clay model tests were performed on soft or rm kaolin …

Scale effects in tests on footings
… particle size, in tests on vertically loaded footings. Two granular materials, namely, a silica rock flour and a Chatelet flint grit, which differed in nominal diameter by a factor of 50 but were otherwise practically similar in all other grain characteristics were used in this work. A …

Creep behaviour of shallow foundations on sand and its implication to soil–structure interaction
… prediction methods, the creep settlement of footings on sand is either ignored or accounted for using an arbitrary empirical multiplier, which has been identified as one of the major reasons for the poor predictability of these methods. The objectives of this study are to establish a method …

Guidelines for designing the overhead transmission tower foundations adjacent to cohesionless slopes
… foundations, namely: pad and inclined chimney footing and vertical and batter pier foundations, situated in sand near sloped grounds to evaluate their response under combined loads and comprehensive soil characterization so as to attain experimental results and necessary soil parameters for …

Stress disturbance on the cyclic behavior of soils and its impact on geotechnical structures
… of physical model tests were performed on a footing in dry sand to further investigate the effects of nearby excavation on the settlement behavior of existing structure under cyclic loading. The lateral excavation is simulated by translating a retaining wall between loading cycles. The cyclic …

A Tractor Mounted Device Used for Comparison of In-Situ Soil Bearing Capacity Between Two Tillage Regimes
… 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 or cone penetrometer into the soil. Load cells were used to measure bearing …

Comparative Study of Heel Movement and Foot Biomechanics in Aluminum Nail-On and Indirect Glue-On Fabric Cuff Shoes in Horses
… conducted on both hard (asphalt) and soft (arena footing) surfaces. Mixed-model ANOVA was used to assess differences between shoeing conditions. Results demonstrated significantly greater heel expansion in barefoot horses compared to both shoeing conditions (P < 0.0001). While indirect glue-on …

The limitations of law pertaining to incest cases: observations of the confines inherent in the current criminal jurisdiction of the County Court of Victoria, which may limit justice for the victims of incest, and the resultant equivocal footing of social policy in this area
… reconcilable with just outcomes. Social policy's footing in this arena appears to be equivocal, due to the inherent confines of the legal system. But the legal system, and in particular the court arena, can be made more equitable, by being flexible and amenable to innovation, through the …

Settlement of Structures on Granular Soils Subjected to Static and Earthquake Loads
… of database of static settlement records of footings on granular soils is presented. Records that involve settlement versus pressure relationships are used to develop an empirical method that explicitly consider, beside the other factors, the effect of stress level on settlement. The method …

Probabilistic analysis of the plastic collapse of random media
… on one face and the bearing capacity of a strip footing under constant normal pressure. Both the classical Prandtl and Hill mechanisms are considered for this strip footing problem and the Hill mechanism is found to be more critical probabilistically. The three-dimensional (3-D) problem …

Behavior of hollow-core fiber reinforced polymer-concrete-steel bridge columns under extreme loading
… tube was embedded into a reinforced concrete footing with an embedded length of 1.6-1.8 times the diameter of the steel tube. The FRP tube only confined the concrete wall and truncated at the top of the footing level. The hollow steel tube was the only reinforcement for shear and flexure …
