TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the behavior of concrete pavement according to the cover depth of the box culvert ad the length of the reinforced slab and found that the tensile stress developed in the pavement slab according to joint position, cover depth, and reinforced slab length.
Abstract: PURPOSES : Hollows are easily made, and bearing capacity can be lowered near underground structures because sublayers of pavement settle for a long time due to difficult compaction at the position. If loadings are applied in this condition, distresses may occur in pavement and, as the result, its lifespan can decrease due to the stress larger than that expected in design phase. Although reinforced slab is installed on side of box culvert to minimize the distresses, length of the reinforced slab is fixed as 6m in Korea without any theoretical consideration. The purpose of this paper is investigating the behavior of concrete pavement according to the cover depth of the box culvert ad the length of the reinforced slab. METHODS : The distresses of concrete pavement slabs were investigated and cover depth was surveyed at position where the box culverts were located in expressways. The concrete pavements including the box culverts were modeled by finite element method and their behaviors according to the soil cover depth were analyzed. Wheel loading was applied after considering self weight of the pavement and temperature gradient of the concrete pavement slab at Yeojoo, Gyeonggi where a test road was located. After installing pavement joint at various positions, behavior of the pavement was analyzed by changing the soil cover depth and length of the reinforced slab. RESULTS : As the result, the tensile stress developed in the pavement slab according to the joint position, cover depth, and reinforced slab length was figured out. CONCLUSIONS : More reasonable and economic design of the concrete pavement including the box culvert is expected by the research results.

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element computer program was developed and the pile was modeled as a beam-on-elastic foundation, where the stiffness of each spring was considered to be linearly variable with depth.
Abstract: In this study the necessity of reinforcement in concrete pile (bored or driven) is assessed. The soil was assumed to be unsaturated and homogeneous clayey soil. Throughout the study, a finite element computer program was developed and the pile was modeled as a beam-on-elastic foundation. The soil is represented by discrete spring. The stiffness of each spring is considered to be linearly variable with depth. The moment loading, lateral loading, pile length, pile diameter, in addition to the angle of internal friction; soil density and soil cohesion were taken as parameter to study their effect on the extent of reinforcement along the pile shaft. It is concluded that for piles embedded in clay, a length of reinforcement not less than one-half the pile length is needed.

  • ...Bowles (1988), stated that, for bored piles, the reinforcing bars may be required only in the upper region for moments that are carried by the shaft, because these moments dissipate with depth are hence the shaft load is primarily axial at about L/2. At this depth, temperature changes are not great; therefore, longitudinal and spiral reinforcements are not required. Tomlinson and Woodward (2008), stated that reinforcement is not needed in bored piles unless uplift loads are to be carried (uplift may occur due to the swelling and shrinkage of clays)....

TL;DR: Load modelling, ultimate and service load performance and evaluation of current levels of safety/reliability in design, and the development of probability-based design procedures are studied.
Abstract: One of the primary goals of structural engineers is to assure proper levels of safety for the structures they design This seemingly simple task is complicated by uncertainties associated with the materials with which the structure was designed and the loads they must resist, as well as our inaccuracies in analysis and design Structural reliability and probabilistic analysis/design are tools which can be employed to quantify these uncertainties and inaccuracies, and produce designs and design procedures meeting acceptable levels of safety Recent researches in the area of structural reliability and probabilistic analysis have centred on the development of probability-based design procedures These include load modelling, ultimate and service load performance and evaluation of current levels of safety/reliability in design (Farid Uddim, 2000; Afolayan, 1999; Afolayan, 2003; Afolayan and Opeyemi, 2008; Opeyemi, 2009)
