Abstract: Since the early of pile static formula suggested by Meyerhof (1956) up until now, several pile design method is being proposed. Between one method and another, result differences are still questionable. This study is conducted base on driven pile 300 mm diameter spun pile constructed in Malaysia on sand or fine soil. This is to determine the differences between several pile design methods by Meyerhof (1976), Janbu (1976), Vesic (1977), Coyle and Castello (1981), ?? method (1985) and ?? method (1972) with the End-bearing capacity and Skin Resistance capacity value from dynamic load test using Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA). All the design method is also analyzed by using soil friction angle correlation by Schmertmann (1975), Peck, Hanson and Thornburn (1974) and Hatanaka and Uchida (1996). From analysis it can be found that Meyerhof, Coyle and Castello, and ?? method are the most conservative which its value lower or almost near the PDA value. Then follow by Janbu method and ?? method which its value almost near PDA or slightly above it. Vesic method is found to be very unconservative which it value well above PDA value. From this study it can be conclude that it is recommended to use either Meyerhof or Janbu Method for estimating end-bearing capacity in sand and silt. For skin resistance in sand it recommended using Meyerhof method. Finally for estimating skin resistance in clayed soil it is recommended to use ?? method.

TL;DR: In this paper, a load transfer curve for dynamic skin friction was analyzed and the shape of vertical displacement with time was shown to have a more distinct shape of wave as the bias weight increases.
Abstract: Technique for analyzing pile installed by vibratory pile driver was developed and results of analysis obtained from variation of bias weight were studied. It can be seen from load transfer curve for dynamic skin friction that load transfer curve shift to downward as bias weight increases. Shape of load transfer curve for dynamic skin friction becomes closer to shape of coil as the bias weight decreases. Magnitudes of toe resistances were not affected by the bias weight. Shape of load transfer curve for dynamic toe resistance shows the similar tendency as the load transfer curve for skin friction exhibits. Vertical displacement increases as the bias weight increases and the shape of vertical displacement with time shows more distinct shape of wave.

TL;DR: In this article, the reaction induced by lateral earth pressure from granular soil contained between two parallel rigid retaining walls when the distance between the two walls is narrow is evaluated and a medium-scale test rig (earth tank) is designed and fabricated.
Abstract: Parallel retaining walls are usually used for jetties, docks and cutoff walls. The lateral earth pressure is a significant design parameter in retaining structures and in number of foundation engineering problems. Retaining walls require quantitative estimate of the lateral pressure for either design or stability analysis. It is known that the distribution of lateral earth pressure against retaining walls is neither triangular nor linear owing to the effect of arching in the backfill. This paper presents experimental evaluation of the reaction induced by lateral earth pressure from granular soil contained between two parallel rigid retaining walls when the distance between the two walls is narrow. A medium-scale test rig (earth tank), in which rigid retaining walls can be tested, is designed and fabricated. Two types of parallel retaining walls are tested in the earth tank: cutoff walls and isolated two parallel walls. The distance between the two parallel walls is varied and the variation in the reactive force exerted on the retaining walls from the lateral earth pressure is presented. Suggestion for the value of optimum clear distance between two parallel retaining walls is presented depending on the reduction in the effective active earth pressure from full active wedge and on the ratio of the at-rest pressure to the active pressure.

TL;DR: The aim of this study is to apply the Standard’s approach by means of calculation to the design of earth retaining structures, comparing it with the traditional designing criteria commonly used in Portugal.
Abstract: When compared to the previous Prestandard ENV 1997-1:1994 and also with the traditional method, the Portuguese Standard EN 1997-1:2007 – Eurocode 7 (EC 7) introduces significant changes to the geotechnical design of retaining structures. The aim of this study is to apply the Standard’s approach by means of calculation to the design of earth retaining structures, comparing it with the traditional designing criteria commonly used in Portugal. For this purpose, the following study plan was developed: i) Literature review on the subject; ii) general formularization of the problem of security verification for earth retaining structures, in line with the recommendations of the EC 7; iii) development of an Excel spreadsheet in order to perform the security verification of such kind of structures under the EC 7 guidelines. The Excel spreadsheet was used to compare the differences between the traditional approach and the EC 7 approach by using two examples (a gravity wall and a retaining wall with a T inverted geometry).
