An investigation of correlation factors linking footing resistance on sand with cone penetration test results

Gavin, Kenneth ; Tolooiyan, Ali (Elsevier, 2012-11)

Significant research effort has led to improvements in our ability to estimate the ultimate bearing resistance of footings in sand. These techniques often estimate the footing resistance at relatively large displacements, ...
Manufacturing, assembly, and testing of scaled, historic masonry for one-gravity, pseudo-static, soil-structure experiments

Laefer, Debra F. ; Long, James H. ; Cording, Edward J. ; Erkal, Aykut ; Truong Hong, Linh (Elsevier, 2011-12)

In many model-scale experiments, geometric scaling is upheld but kinematic and/or dynamic similitude is not because of the difficulty in manufacturing and assembling small models. This paper describes scaling, manufacturing, ...
Theoretical solutions for strength-scaled unreinforced masonry for scaled soil-structure experimentation

Laefer, Debra F. ; Erkal, Aykut ; Cording, Edward J. ; Long, James H. ; Truong Hong, Linh (ASTM International, 2010-07)

Reduced-scale masonry testing offers advantages of lower costs and shorter schedules compared to full-scale testing, but achieving results reflective of full-scale behavior requires development and fulfilment of appropriate ...
