TL;DR: In this paper, the successful instrumentation of a section of an in-service cast iron water main buried in an area of reactive clay where frequent water pipe breakage has been observed was described.
Abstract: Field monitoring is an important means for understanding soil behaviour and its interaction with buried structures such as pipeline. This paper details the successful instrumentation of a section of an in-service cast iron water main buried in an area of reactive clay where frequent water pipe breakage has been observed. The instrumentation included measurement of pipe strain; pipe water pressure and temperature; soil pressure, temperature, moisture content, and matric suction; as well as the meteorological conditions on site. The data generally indicated that changes in soil temperature, suction, and moisture content were directly related to the local climatic variations. The suction and moisture content data indicated that the soil profile at the site down to around 700 mm, and probably down to 1000 mm, is affected by changes in surface weather, while soil conditions below this depth appear to be more stable. Analysis of pipe strain indicated that the pipe behaves like a cantilever beam, with the top ex...

TL;DR: In this paper, the active thrust on retaining walls in seismic conditions can be evaluated using the method of Mononobe and Okabe using the analytical solution obtained by Mueller-Breslau, and the same result can be achieved in a more general and simple form by modifying the shear strength angle of the soil, the friction angle between soil and wall and the soil unit weight.

TL;DR: In this paper, a slice analysis method is adopted to study the nonlinear distribution of seismic passive earth pressure while considering most of the possible parameters, and the closed-form expressions for the resultant force and the failure angle are obtained.
Abstract: The evaluation of seismic passive earth pressure is an important aspect in designing safe retaining walls. In this paper, a slice analysis method is adopted to study the nonlinear distribution of seismic passive earth pressure while considering most of the possible parameters. The closed-form expressions for the resultant force of seismic passive earth pressure, earth pressure distribution, and its application position are obtained. The explicit solution for the critical failure angle of seismic passive earth pressure is proposed by simplifying the relation between the resultant force and the failure angle based on a graphical analysis method. Under certain conditions, the present method correlates with classical passive earth pressure theories. By comparing the present method with test results and previously published solutions, the results are found to be consistent. The influence of the seismic coefficients on seismic passive earth pressure is also studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, the active earth pressure of retaining wall near rock faces was calculated based on differential slice met met metamodel (DSM) based on the Coulomb and Rankine theories.
Abstract: Rock faces prevent adequate calculation of the active earth pressure of retaining wall near rock faces via the Coulomb and Rankine theories. The research is based on differential slice met...
