Discuss the assumptions made for the
Determination of settlement for the shallow foundation in fig. Q6 (cylindrical
Tank) and state the formulae used in its estimation.All soils are uniform density and
Thickness with uniform homogenous properties. Assumes that single/drainage
Conditions respectively exist. Most important property is permeability and the
Ability of water to move from the horizon under investigation.Indicate the different types of piles that may be used in
Supporting a building and how different types of pile might be utilised for
Different soil and geological conditions. (Variety of pile types known
And selected. Frictional, end bearing, reamed, raked, CFA etcWind
Turbines are often sited at sea for aesthetic reasons. What geotechnical issues
Might arise siting a wind turbine at sea?
SI is problematic
Rising tides create variations in pressures
Different actions on foundations waves, oscillations
Suction
Buoyancy
Curing of concrete
Monitoring is problematic
