Several theoretical, empirical and semi-empirical methods are available in the literature to predict settlement of drilled
shafts in sandy soils. In the Arabian Gulf countries, specifically in the United Arab Emirates, equations and procedure from
the rest of the world are being used in analysis and design of drilled shafts without proper validation. It is the aim of
this study to assess the applicability and evaluate the accuracy of two well known, and commonly used methods for pile prediction
in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), namely Vesic (1977) and Poulos (1979), via comparison with data from field pile load tests
conducted on shafts drilled in the region. Some of these tests were conducted for the purpose of this study, while others
were made available through the courtesy of International Piling Contractors who are active in the region (e.g. Bauer International
and Swiss Borings). Pile load test data were analyzed to back-calculate the model parameters related to settlement under different
loading stages. Geological data and soil properties were obtained from studies conducted at the relevant sites. An effort
is made to correlate soil properties with the prediction models. Statistical analysis is conducted to assess the accuracy
of the results obtained from the two methods at different stages of loading via those obtained from pile load tests. Moreover,
a detailed parametric study is conducted to assess the effect of the related parameters on the predicted pile settlement and
the estimated settlement at different stages of loading. The study concluded with a recommendation of the most appropriate
models and procedures to be followed for predicting the settlement of drilled shafts in the UAE, together with useful charts
and correlation relations. Results showed that settlement values predicted by Vesic (1977) and Poulos (1979) overestimates
the true values.

The axial base and skin capacities of piles bored in cohesion less soils are often estimated using empirical, semi-empirical and theoretical methods. The aim of this paper is to assess the applicability and evaluate the accuracy of different predictions methods available in the literature, via comparison with data from 43 field pile load tests conducted on shafts drilled in the region of the United Arab Emirates. Janbu's theoretical method (1989) with the parameter (=75°) and Vesics theoretical method (1975) yielded accurate predictions for the base resistances. Burlands approach (1973) overpredicts the skin capacities with an average predicted-to-estimated ratio (q

The addition of the agent of treatment allows to obtain a better traficability and improves the capacity of the soil to compaction while assuring a correct implementation. Besides, the binder provides to the soil a direct, maintained, or increasing lift at the same time. The choice of the agent of treatment and its dosage is determined by the type of soil, its moisture content at the time of the treatment, and by the aimed characteristics. The technique of treatment of soil in place in the hydraulic binders consists in valuing the natural soil (existing at the site of construction) by mixing them with a hydraulic binder and some water. It allows to avoid the transport and implies their stabilization in very interesting costs before the implementation of the superficial layers. In this context, this paper presents the results of the shear strength parameters of a study in laboratory with the aim of using the fine soil, in particular an Algerian western resulting silt, after a treatment with the cement by dry mixing method. Our goal is to realize pavement structures (base layer and subgrade layer) with this material. This type of treatment requires to know well the material which we wish to treat. A geotechnical complete characterization before treatment is approached on samples compacted in different water content, followed by the study of the influence of the addition of 2, 4, and 6 % cement on the characteristics of portance and of strength to shearing. Shear test was performed after curing the samples for 24 h to evaluate the shear strength parameters. The obtained results highlight a clearly better and marked improvement of the characteristics such as the lift and the strength to shearing. 相似文献

In this first part of the work, we develop macroscopic models for migration and diffusion–migration of ionic species in saturated porous media, based on periodic homogenization. The prior application is chloride transport in cementitious materials. The dimensional analysis of Nernst–Planck equation lets appear to dimensionless numbers characterizing the ionic transfer in the porous medium. Using experimental data obtained from electrodiffusion tests on cement‐based materials (Part II), these dimensionless numbers are linked to the perturbation parameter ?. For a strong imposed electrical field, the asymptotic expansion of Nernst–Planck equation leads to a macroscopic model where the migration is predominant. For a weak imposed electrical field or in natural diffusion, we obtain a macroscopic model coupling diffusion and migration at the same order. In both models, the expression of the homogenized diffusion tensor is identical and only involves the geometric properties of the material microstructure.

The coastal lands are very important boundaries in the natural system. But these areas are under pressure that has threatened their health by short-sighted planning policies. The management options have focused on economic production and human benefits rather than the natural systems that guaranty sustainability of them. Evaluation of sustainability in coastal lands needs some critical criteria and indicators. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate an innovative reliable method for identification of the most important criteria and indicators using multi criteria techniques, especially the Analytic Network Process (ANP). Analytic Network Process as a new approach has potential to be applied into the field of coastal land use development. This is the first time ANP has been used for criteria selection to ensure sustainability in coastal land use planning. The integration of social, economic and environmental criteria within the planning framework in this paper has provided a holistic approach for integrated coastal land use development. 相似文献

— The group-velocity distribution beneath the Arabian Plate is investigated using Love and Rayleigh waves. We obtained a balanced path coverage using seismograms generated by earthquakes located along the plate boundaries. We measured Love- and Rayleigh-wave group-velocity dispersion using multiple filter analysis and then performed a tomographic inversion using these observations to estimate lateral group velocity variations in the period range of 5–60?s. The Love- and Rayleigh-wave results are consistent and show that the average group velocity across Arabia increases with increasing period. The tomographic results also delineate first-order regional structure heterogeneity as well as the sharp transition between the Arabian shield and the Arabian platform. Systematic differences are observed in the distribution of the short-period group velocities across the two provinces, which are consistent with surface geology. The slower velocities in the platform reveal the imprint of its thick sedimentary section, while faster velocities correlate well with the exposed volcanic flows in the shield. Shear-wave velocity models for the two regions, obtained from the inversion of the group velocities, confirm results from previous studies of higher S-wave velocity in the upper crust beneath the shield. This may be due to the present remnants of the oceanic crust (ophiolite belts) associated with the island arcs evolutionary model of the Arabian shield.¶The mapping of the surface-wave group velocity using a large data can be used in constraining the regional structure at existing and planned broadband stations deployed in this tectonically complex region as part of the seismic monitoring under CTBT. 相似文献

Lake Qarun is an inland saline lake of the type Na---(Mg)---Cl---(SO4). The SO4/Cl weight ratio exceeds 0.6. The sequence of salt deposition, upon mechanical evaporation at 70°C, starts with basanite and halite, passes with magnesium sulphate minerals and ends with sylvite and carnallite. High concentrations of Sr in the gypsiferous fraction and B in the end-residue are recorded. 相似文献
