Finite element analysis of embankment on soft Indian River clay
… drains. The performance was monitored during staged construction and for a period of 1.25 years after construction (2006-2008). During this, the embankment settled up to 6.5 feet, while large lateral spreading in the clay was restrained by overlying sand layers. The side walls tilted by up to …

LIGHTWEIGHT AND ADVANCE PRECAST CONCRETE SYSTEM FOR MODULAR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
… proposes a new cruciform module design for the construction of buildings with wider column-to-column such as the Healthcare and Institutional Buildings with the use of lightweight concrete. Based on the finite element analysis (FEA) of two buildings with similar configurations and global aspect …

Seismic performance of single-propped retaining walls
… dry sand. After simulating the excavation as a staged construction, a suite of thirty-two (32) different seismic inputs were applied at the base of the model. The non-linear, inelastic soil behavior was represented by the advanced PB constitutive model (generalized effective stress soil model) …

Reanalysis of the settlement of a levee on soft bay mud
Staged construction of embankments on soft ground remains one of the most challenging topics in geotechnical engineering due to the complex shear and consolidation behavior of clays. This thesis presents a case study on the performance of the New Hamilton Partnership (NHP) levee in Novato, …

Effective Prestress Evaluation of the Varina-Enon Bridge Using a Long-Term Monitoring System and Finite Element Model
… two methods. The first utilizes a time-dependent staged-construction analysis in a finite element model of the full structure to obtain predicted prestress losses using the CEB-FIP '90 code expressions for creep and shrinkage. The second method involves collecting data from instrumentation …

Long-Term Monitoring and Evaluation of the Varina-Enon Bridge
… model of the bridge which run a timedependent staged-construction analysis to obtain predicted prestress losses using the CEB-FIP '90 code expressions for creep and shrinkage. The second approach involves the compilation of data from instrumentation mounted in the bridge to back calculate the …

Children As Researchers: Exploring Issues And Barriers In English Primary Schools
… by the children, have together informed the staged construction of a new model. This model illustrates the factors and processes that had an impact on both the children's experiences of research training and the research process and outcomes. The model demonstrates that these are inextricably …

Refined Evaluation of Effective Prestress in the Varina-Enon Bridge
… well as a finite element model which includes a staged-construction analysis. Creep and shrinkage are accounted for using the CEB-FIP '90 model code. Effective prestress in the Varina-Enon Bridge is back-calculated using live load strain data from the long-term data collection system. Previous …

Column-Supported Embankments: Full-Scale Tests and Design Recommendations
… principal reasons to use CSEs: 1) accelerated construction compared to more conventional construction methods such as prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) or staged construction, and 2) protection of adjacent facilities from distress, such as settlement of existing pavements when a roadway is …

Návrh předpjatého mostu na silnici I/38
Diplomová práca sa zaoberá návrhom dodatočne predpätej a pôdorysne zakrivenej mostnej konštrukcie na ceste 1.triedy. Most sa nachádza na novovznikajúcom juhovýchodnom obchvate pri českom meste Havlíčkův Brod. Boli navrhnuté tri varianty riešenia hlavnej nosnej konštrukcie, z ktorých bol vybraný …
