Abstract
Understanding the principal features of soil stiffness has been one of the major achievements of geotechnical engineering over the past 30 years. The study of modulus degradation is now one of the main research areas. Understanding non-linearity is essential in foundation design for accurate and reliable evaluation of ground movements. This paper looks at the problem of assessing of deep foundation settlements and describes two approaches developed to enable designers to take soil–foundation non-linear behaviour into account. The first provides in-field stiffness parameters evaluated by back-analysis of full-scale piles. The second involves deducting the behaviour of the soil interacting with a foundation from degradation curves characterising the soil stiffness.
期刊介绍:
The objectives of the Association shall be the promotion of co-operation among geotechnical societies in SE Asia; and the assistance to member societies who have limited number of members. Now there is only one combined web titled: AGSSEA-SEAGS. SEAGS & AGSSEA encourage the submission of scholarly and practice-oriented articles to its journal. The journal is published quarterly. Both sponsors of the journal, the Southeast Asian Geotechnical Society and the Association of Geotechnical Societies in Southeast Asia, promote the ideals and goals of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechhnical Engineering in fostering communications, developing insights and enabling the advancement of the geotechnical engineering discipline.
