Untitled Document
All our infrastructure is either on or in the ground. As a result, geotechnical engineering plays a key role in all major civil engineering projects in the UK and beyond.

ICE Proceedings: Geotechnical Engineering provides a forum for the publication of high quality, topical and relevant technical and practical papers covering all aspects of geotechnical research, design, construction and performance. The journal aims to be of interest to those civil, structural or geotechnical engineering practitioners wishing to develop a greater understanding of the influence of geotechnics on the built environment.

Geotechnical Engineering covers all aspects of geotechnical engineering including tunnelling, foundations, retaining walls, embankments, diaphragm walls, piling, subsidence, soil mechanics and geoenvironmental engineering. Presented in the form of reports, design discussions, methodologies and case records it forms an invaluable reference work, highlighting projects which are interesting and innovative.

- Experimental underground excavations in sedimentary softrock at Sagamihara F. Tatsuoka, DEng K. Ochi, DEng, T. Tsubouchi, Y. Kohata, DEng and L. Wang, DEng j A 50 m deep shaft and a short tunnel at the bottom of the shaft have been excavated in a thick deposit about 15 million years old, consisting of essentially unweathered and unfractured sedimentary soft mudstone having a compressive strength of about 5 MPa, in Sagamihara City near Tokyo. The eld full-scale behaviour of the ground has been carefully monitored...

Nagaraj, BE, ME, PhD, DSc j One of the important aspects of laboratory consolidation testing is the estimation of coefcient of consolidation (C v ) from which the rate of settlement can be predicted. Several researchers have proposed various graphical methods for obtaining estimates of C v from laborator y oedometer tests...

SEISMIC BEARING CAPACITY OF SHALLOW STRIP FOOTINGS IN SEISMIC CONDITIONS.
More details
- pp. 230–241
- Authors: A H SOUBRA; COULOMB
- Document Type: Research Article
- DOI: 10.1680/igeng.1997.29659
- Seismic bearing capacity of shallow strip footings in seismic conditions A.-H. Soubra j The seismic bearing capacity factors of shallow strip footings are calculated. The approach used is pseudo-static, where the seismic effects are considered by taking into account static inertia forces. The upperbound method of limit analysis is used. Two failure mechanisms, referred to as the M1 and M2 mechanisms, are considered for the calculation schemes. These mechanisms are non-symmetrical. M1 consists of a log sandwich composed of a triangular active wedge, a log-spiral radial shear zone and a triangular passive wedge...

- Lime modication of clay soils for construction expediency C. D. F. Rogers, BSc, PhD, CEng, MICE, MIHT, S. Glendinning, BSc, PhD, and T. E. J. Roff, BEng, MSc j Lime modication has the potential to reduce greatly the delays to construction projects caused by wet weather. The initial consumption of lime (ICL) test, currently used as an indicator of how much lime to use, is shown to produce results that can be both inconsistent and excessively conservative...

Smith, Fugro Ltd than the coefcient of variation of the bias ratio for the whole data set. 29. This being the case, there is no intuitive reason for choosing to take the average of the ratio RaRpu as a measure of the quality of the design method. One might equally take its reciprocal, Rpu aR.
