A field investigation of vertical footing response on sand

Gavin, Kenneth ; Adekunte, Abidemi ; O’Kelly, Brendan C. (Institution of Civil Engineers/Thomas Telford Publishing, 2009-10)

This paper presents the results from an experimental programme that studied the factors affecting the bearing resistance of shallow footings in sand. In particular, the tests considered the effects of the footing width and ...
In situ shear wave velocity from multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) tests at eight Norwegian research sites

Long, Michael (Michael M.) ; Donohue, Shane (NRC Research Press, 2007-05)

The Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) technique, used to determine shear wave velocity (Vs) and hence small strain stiffness (Gmax), has recently generated considerable interest in the geophysics community. ...
The shaft capacity of CFA piles in sand

Gavin, Kenneth ; Cadogan, David ; Casey, Patrick (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009-06)

This paper presents the results of a series of field experiments performed to study the development of shaft resistance on Continuous Flight Auger piles installed in sand. The test piles were instrumented in order to ...
