(Texas A&M University. Libraries, )A thorough review of the literature regarding bearing capacity theories and experimental studies for piles driven in sand has been made. Experimental studies indicate that the theories currently used to predict pile bearing ...
-
(2020-11-04)In this study, the characterization of soils and granular materials and their variation with the compaction method is investigated. Impact hammer compaction is the most prevalent method for sample fabrication of granular ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)This investigation consisted of a laboratory study designed to predict the effect on the performance of flexible airfield pavements of reducing current density criteria for compacted subgrade soils. Laboratory prepared ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Soil crusting is a worldwide problem for obtaining good stands after planting. This study was conducted to evaluate effects of environmental physical conditions upon mechanical factors influencing seedling emergence from ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)The downdrag on pile groups was investigated by using a numerical analysis and an analytical study. The emphasis was on quantifying the reduction of downdrag on piles in a group due to the group effect. The case of a single ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, [1971])Methods to obtain the soil parameters needed to simulate the dynamic response of a laterally loaded pile were developed in this research. Instrumented model piles of various diameters and embedded lengths were driven into ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)This investigation consists of four series of anisotropically consolidated undrained triaxial compression tests with pore pressure measurements on 1.4-in.-diam specimens of a fine uniform and derived from a Mississippi ...
