Evaluating Partial Safety Factors for Shear Strength in Bearing Capacity Calculations for Cohesionless Soils Open
Calculating bearing capacity is critical when designing shallow foundations. Many countries use limit state design (LSD) as the standard method for geotechnical design. The paper aims to develop realistic LSD partial factors for bearing ca…
A proposed correlation between dynamic and static plate load test moduli for gravelly soils Open
Egypt is currently developing huge housing projects at the New Capital, Alamein, and other Egyptian cities. These projects often require soil replacement for roads and buildings. Among the causes of problems observed in some housing projec…
3D FE modeling of a complex multi-stage foundation underpinning for a high-rise building Open
The piled foundation of an existing high-rise building in Cairo was assessed as inadequate. The building foundation consists of 370 piles arranged below the columns and walls. The building was constructed in 1977, and up to the start of th…
Density Control of Sandy Soil in Laboratory Model Open
According to geology, sand is a granular substance made up of finely separated pieces of regional rock and mineral, hence variations in sand particles are caused by regional rock conditions and rock sources.This variation in grain size, sh…
Evaluation of the existing piled foundation based on piled–raft design philosophy Open
Many well-documented case histories for conventionally designed large pile groups proved that this design approach is conservative and dramatically increases the cost of foundation without almost any benefit neither to geotechnical capacit…
