67A The results of 3 separate settlement measurement programmes for raft foundatmns of mulustorey braidings m stlffunsaturated clays are reported In 2 of the 3 cases, settlement predlcuons based on various methods were compared w~th observations Good agreement was found between measured and predicted values, w~th httle d~fference m the pred~ctmns from various methods The borehole extensometer techmque was found to be very efficient m the measurement of layer compression and overall settlement A s~mple alternatwe procedure for settlement pred~cuon that can account for layered softs and raft stiffness ~s demonstrated
842232 Shallow foundations on frozen soil: creep settlement Ladany~, B J Geoteck Engng Die ASCE V109, NGTI 1, Nov 1983, P1434-1448 After reviewing all presently available mformatmn on the creep settlement of shallow foundauons resting on frozen sods, it ~s concluded that some proposed theoretical methods have potentml for predicting settlements when their mare source is d~stort~onal creep. Much less ~s known about the prediction of settlements on relatively warm frozen soils w~th large quanttt~es of unfrozen water, where hydrodynamic consohdat~on and volume creep are the cause of a large proportmn of the settlement 28 refs
842233 Platform movements due to foundation overloading Lacasse, S Norw Geoteck lnst PuM V145, 1983.9P The numerical analyses investigate the undrained behav~our of clay foundations subjected to portions of a reahst~c North Sea storm containing a 100 sec design wave The platformfoundation system ~s modelled using a sod-structure interaction fimte d~fference computer program
842234 Investigation of the engineering properties of a dam foundation containing gypsum seams. Technical note Chen Fengxmng, Wu Mmglmng Rock Meek Rock Engng V16, N4, Not, 1983, P275-280 A series of laboratory and m s~tu tests were carried out at Longmen Dam m order to investigate the composmon, solubdtty and leaching characteristics of gypsum seams m rock formatmns, as well as their effect on the strength and deformation properties of the rock masses
842235 Construction experience with industrial structures on soils prone to slump-type settlement in the Tadzhik SSR Gahtskn, V G, Musaelyan, A A, Popsuenko, I K, Vflfand, A G Soil Mock Found Engng VI9, N1, Jan-Feb 1982, P1-5 The Yavansk Electrochemical Plant, Tadzhlk, USSR is under construction on loess-hke, clayey sods and ioesses hable to slump type deformations Settlement development was variable due to seasonal fluctuation of the water table and loading conditions of the foundatton. The greatest absolute settlements, their relatwe nonumformlty, tdtmg and warping have been observed during the loading of the four reservoirs It is concluded that cyhc loading-unloading of different reservoirs and containers dunng watert~ghtness testing ~s an effective means of reducing the nonumformity of their settlement and stabdlzmg beds composed of highly compressible or saturated loess soils
842236 Design of pile columns for agricultural buildings subject to lateral loading Zhukov, N V, Balov, I L, Karabanova, L P Soil Meek Found Engng VI9, N1, Jan-Feb 1982, P6-10 A more precise defimt~on of the proportionality coefficient, K, ~s presented for the design of pdes subject to lateral loading m which the pdes are treated as beams on a hnearly deformable Fuss-Wlnkler bed with a coefficient o f subgrade reaction that mcreases hnearly with depth. Using the results of a range of field tests on pile columns and driven pdes, tables are presented from which K can be assigned for various soil types and pde lengths of 2-4m
842237 Experimental investigations of bearing capacity of sand bases Evdoklmov, P D, Kashkarov, P N Sail Meek Found Engng VI9, NI, Jan-Feb 1982, P29-32 A comparison of the results from plate sheanng tests on sand foundauon bases loaded m accordance with two schemes ( I ) m1trolly a vertical load ts created and subsequently a horizontal load is apphed by increments to the lower surface of the plate, and (2) the horizontal and vertical loads increase simultaneously Extensive use o f laboratory and field test results was made
842238 Experimental investigations of pile loads and foundation settlement in tall large-panel buildings Bablchev, Z V Soil Meek Found Engng V19, N2, March-Aprd 1982. P43-48 The construction of two ten storey braidings on pde foundations was investigated to estabhsh operating condit~ons and load distribution among the pdes Pdes, 30era X 30cm m sectmn and 11-12m long were driven rata Quaternary alluvml deposits and pile loading and settlement observed over 3 years until complete foundation settlement was estabhshed It ~s concluded that pde loads should be calculated on the basts of a three dimensional analysis which mcludes the superstructure, foundauon and sod base
842239 Behavior of foundations using driven vertical and inclined piles under horizontal loading Demsov, O L Soil Meek Found Engng VI9, N2, March-Aprd 1982, P48-52 Reinforced concrete plies 30cm X 30cm m sectmn and 6m long were driven m Quaternary dduvlal deposits mdwldually and m vertical and mchned groupings of rows and clusters Metal strata gauge pdes were used for the tests Results showed that for equal spacing of the pdes m the clusters, the bearing capacity of mchned pile foundatmns in hard and semi-hard clay sods is greater than for vertical pdes RIgM embedment of the heads of the mchned pdes m the slab of the low grating increased their strength for operation m a cluster by a factor of 3 9, whereas for vertical pdes It was increased by a factor of i 9
842240 Results of observations of settlements of bases under uniform extended loading Vasyukov, G V Soil Meek Found Engng V19. N2, March-April 1982, P52-55 The compresslblhty of homogeneous sod bases was measured under two circular storage tanks based on medmm density and dense fine sands Settlement of the foundations, two reinforced concrete slabs, was measured by levelhng from bench marks 50m from the foundation edge It was concluded that the slabs reqmre only mtmmal reinforcement to resist bending and that the mare design criterion is crushmg Under cychc loads the
