Coffer dams are temporary structures built to exclude water from an area where permanent structures will be constructed. They allow construction to occur in dry conditions. There are several types of coffer dams depending on the depth of water, soil conditions, and available materials. Earthfill coffer dams use earthen embankments for shallow water, while more complex designs like braced sheet pile or cellular coffer dams are needed for deeper waters. Properly designed coffer dams prevent leakage and ensure the enclosed area remains dry for construction work.
Dr. F. Dejahang discusses the benefits of precast concrete bridges, including lower initial costs than other bridge types, minimal required maintenance, and fast/easy construction. Precast bridges have assured quality from manufacturing in a controlled plant environment, are durable, attractive, and allow for minimal traffic disruption during construction as precast elements can be quickly installed. Bridge piers and decks can be constructed from precast concrete segments assembled on site. Erection gantries are used to lift and install large precast concrete segments for viaduct construction.

The document discusses various methods for river training including constructing levees, guide banks, and spurs. Levees are embankments running parallel to rivers that are used to contain flood waters and protect areas from flooding. Guide banks are structures built to confine river flow within a reasonable waterway when constructing bridges or other works. Spurs are embankment structures built transverse to river flow to deflect currents away from banks and prevent erosion. The appropriate river training method depends on the river type, regime, and flow characteristics.
This document describes the procedure for conducting a plate load test to determine the bearing capacity of soil. Key details include:
- Plate load tests involve gradually applying load increments to a steel plate placed on the ground and measuring settlement over time.
- Tests are used to determine ultimate bearing capacity and modulus of subgrade reaction for foundation design.
- Proper test setup, equipment, load increments, settlement observations and timing are specified.
- Results are interpreted by plotting load-settlement curves to identify yield point or failure for different soil types.
- Calculations are provided to determine ultimate bearing capacity and expected foundation settlement from plate load test data.
- Limitations include only reflecting shallow soil properties and not fully capturing ultimate
The document discusses soil bearing capacity and methods for determining and improving it. It explains that the ultimate and safe bearing capacities must be determined to ensure the foundation can safely transmit loads to the soil. A common field test is the plate load test, which involves loading a test plate in a pit and measuring settlement. From the load-settlement graph, the ultimate capacity is determined using the maximum load. The safe capacity applies a factor of safety, usually 2-3. Methods to improve bearing capacity include increasing foundation depth, draining water, compacting soil, grouting, confinement, and chemical treatment.
Shallow foundations ("spread footings") include pads ("isolated footings"), strip footings, and rafts. Shallow foundations are used when the soil near the surface is sufficiently strong to support the imposed loads. Usually, they are unsuitable in weak or highly co…
A foundation is the lowest part of the building structure. It is the engineering field of study devoted to the design of those structures which support other structures, most typically buildings, bridges or transportation infrastructure. It is at the periphery of Civil, Structural and Geo-technical Engineering disciplines and has distinct focus on soil-structure interaction.
Shallow foundations transfer structural loads to soil near the surface and are suitable when soil has good bearing capacity. They include spread, combined, and mat/raft foundations. Spread footings are most common, supporting individual columns or walls. Combined and mat foundations are used when loads overlap or are very high. Shallow foundations are simpler and cheaper than deep foundations but have limitations regarding soil conditions and structural loads.
Initial and routine load tests are conducted on piles to confirm design load calculations. Initial tests apply 2.5 times the safe carrying capacity to piles and routine tests apply 1.5 times. Initial tests establish acceptance limits for routine tests. Routine tests are conducted on 1/2-2% of piles to ensure safe load capacity and detect unusual performance. Vertical, lateral, and pull-out load tests are conducted according to IS standards and involve measuring pile settlement under increasing loads held for durations. Acceptance criteria consider settlement and load levels.
The document describes two methods for constructing underground metro stations - the top-down and bottom-up methods. The top-down method involves constructing diaphragm walls using guide walls, plunge columns, and concreting in stages from the roof down. The bottom-up method uses soldier piles and secant piles with base slabs constructed before walls and columns. Diaphragm wall construction involves dividing the station into panels, installing guide walls, soil boring, cage fabrication, lowering the cage and stop-ends, and concreting through tremie pipes in stages. Equipment used includes grab machines, Koden for profiling, cranes, stop-ends, and transit mixers.
This document discusses different types of foundations including pier foundations, well foundations, and foundations in black cotton soil. It provides details on:
- Pier foundations consist of large diameter concrete columns that transfer loads to firm strata below. They are used when a heavy structure must be built over soft soil.
- Well foundations (caissons) are box-like structures sunk from land or water surfaces to transmit loads to hard strata below deep waters. They are used for bridges, docks, and other waterfront structures.
- Special considerations for foundations in black cotton soils include removing shrinkable top layers, using pier foundations, and installing sand-filled drainage pipes to prevent swelling and shrinking from damaging the structure.

Retaining walls are used to retain earth in a vertical position where there is an abrupt change in ground level. There are several types of retaining walls including gravity, cantilever, counterfort, and buttress walls. Cantilever walls are the most common type for heights up to 8 meters. They consist of a vertical stem and base slab that behave like one-way cantilevers. Counterfort walls include transverse supports called counterforts to reduce bending moments in the stem and slabs. Proper design of the stem, heel slab, toe slab, and foundation depth is required to resist overturning, sliding, soil pressure, and bending failure.

Here are the steps to solve this problem:
1. Determine the total load on the mat = 9 x 100 t = 900 t
2. The area of the mat = 6 x 6 = 36 m^2
3. Since the resultant load passes through the center of gravity of the mat, the pressure distribution will be uniform.
q = Total Load/Area of mat = 900/36 = 25 t/m^2
4. Divide the mat into strips ABFE in the directions shown.
5. The S.F. diagram for strip ABFE will be as shown below with max SF at mid span = 25 x 6/2 = 150 t

This document discusses retaining walls and their design. It begins by defining a retaining wall as a structure used to retain earth or other materials that cannot stand vertically on their own. It then discusses different types of conventional retaining walls, including gravity, semi-gravity, cantilever, counterfort/buttressed, and reinforced earth walls. The document also covers design considerations such as forces, stability requirements, and checks against overturning and sliding.
This document provides an overview of different types of retaining walls, including gravity, cantilever, counterfort, sheet pile, and diaphragm walls. It discusses the key components and design considerations for gravity and cantilever retaining walls. Gravity walls rely on their own weight for stability, while cantilever walls consist of a vertical stem with a heel and toe slab acting as a cantilever beam. The document also covers lateral earth pressures, drainage of retaining walls, uses of sheet pile walls, and construction methods for diaphragm walls.
The document discusses factors to consider when choosing the type of foundation for a structure, including the nature of the structure, loads, soil characteristics, and cost. Shallow foundations such as footings and rafts are suitable if the soil can support the loads without excessive settlement. Deep foundations using piles or piers transmit loads to a deeper bearing layer if the top soil is weak. Floating foundations may be used if no bearing layer is found by removing and replacing soil under the structure. The document provides details on analyzing loads and designing shallow spread footings to resist shear, bond, and bending stresses.

The document discusses determining the active earth thrust on fascia retaining walls through theoretical and experimental methods. Fascia retaining walls are constructed in front of existing structures in narrow spaces. Model experiments were conducted to measure deflections under different aspect ratios (the ratio of backfill width to wall height). Earth thrust was calculated using the theoretical equation and compared to values obtained experimentally. The experimental results showed good agreement with the theoretical values, with differences of less than 5% for most tests. It was concluded that the proposed theoretical method can be reliably used to design fascia retaining walls.
Braced cut excavations design and problems pptRoshiyaFathima
This document discusses braced cuts and excavations for deep foundations. It describes various methods for temporarily shoring vertical walls during excavation, including movable earth shields and steel sheet piles with horizontal walers and struts. Methods for analyzing lateral earth pressures, strut loads, and wale bending moments are presented. Peck's design pressure envelopes are shown for estimating earth pressures on retaining walls in cohesive and cohesionless soils. An example problem demonstrates analyzing and designing a braced wall system for a stiff clay excavation using a given strut spacing.
This document discusses stress distribution in soil due to various types of loading. It begins by introducing key concepts like how applied loads are transferred through the soil mass, creating stresses that decrease in magnitude but increase in area with depth. The factors that affect stress distribution, like loading size/shape, soil type, and footing rigidity are also covered. The document then examines specific load types - point loads, line loads, rectangular/triangular strip loads, and circular loads - providing the equations to calculate vertical stress increases below each. Several examples demonstrate calculating stress increases below compound load arrangements. The summary provides an overview of the key topics and calculations presented in the document.
This document discusses the analysis and design of stepped cantilever retaining walls. It begins with an introduction to different types of retaining walls, including cantilever and counterfort walls. Cantilever walls are economical up to 6 meters in height, but require larger sections at greater heights due to increased bending moments. Counterfort walls require a large base area and steel reinforcement. As an alternative, stepped cantilever walls are proposed, with short reinforced concrete steps along the stem face. This aims to reduce bending moments and stresses in the stem. The objectives of the study are to reduce retaining wall face stresses using steps, determine optimal step locations, design step cross-sections, analyze wall stability with steps, and compare costs of alternatives

- Definitions of retaining walls and their parts
- Common types of retaining walls including gravity, semi-gravity, cantilever, counterfort and bulkhead walls
- Earth pressures like active, passive and at rest pressures
- Design principles for stability against sliding, overturning and bearing capacity
- Drainage considerations for retaining walls
- Theories for analyzing earth pressures like Rankine and Coulomb's theories
- Sample design calculations and problems for checking stability of retaining walls
The document discusses the design of retaining walls. It defines a retaining wall as a structure used to hold back soil or other material at different levels on either side. It describes common types of retaining walls like gravity, cantilever, counterfort and buttress walls. Factors that influence the design are also discussed, including earth pressure, types of backfill, surcharge loads and drainage. The design process involves checking stability against overturning, sliding and bearing capacity failure. Reinforcement details and curtailment are also covered.
Soil shear strength is determined using the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion. Common laboratory tests to determine soil strength parameters (c and φ) include direct shear tests, unconfined compression tests, and triaxial compression tests. Rankine and Coulomb developed theories to describe lateral earth pressures on retaining walls, including active, passive, and at-rest pressures. Boussinesq provided solutions for vertical stresses in soil due to concentrated loads, line loads, and strip loads using influence charts.
This document discusses earth pressure theories and concepts. It explains the three types of earth pressures: active, passive, and at rest. Active pressure occurs when a retaining wall moves away from backfill, passive when it moves towards backfill, and at rest when stationary. Rankine and Coulomb theories are described, with Coulomb accounting for friction between the wall and soil. Graphical methods like Rebhann's and Culmann's are also summarized for determining failure surfaces and pressure distributions.
This document describes cantilever retaining walls. It defines a retaining wall as a structure that maintains ground surfaces at different elevations on either side. Cantilever retaining walls consist of a stem supported by a base and resist lateral forces through bending. The document discusses the types of forces acting on retaining walls, methods for calculating lateral earth pressures, and design considerations for stability, soil pressure distribution, and reinforcement in the stem, toe slab, and heel slab.
1) Slope stability is analyzed using the factor of safety, which is the ratio of resisting shear strength to driving shear stress. A factor of safety below 1.5 indicates instability.
2) Common slope failure modes include rotational, toe, base, and transitional failures. The Swedish circle method divides a potential failure surface into slices to analyze stability.
3) Factors that influence slope stability include soil properties, geometry, drainage conditions, and external loads. Various techniques can improve stability, such as flattening slopes, installing drainage, or adding retaining structures.
This document discusses different types of shallow foundations including cantilever footings, combined footings, and mat foundations. It provides details on:

fold adjacent sides up and join edges with spiral binders; insert
diaphragms at 3-foot centers and fasten them to the base panel
with spiral binders. Place the empty gabions in the designed
pattern on the foundation. When the entire first course is in
position, permanently secure adjacent gabions by installing
vertical spiral binders running full height at all corners.
Similarly secure both edges of all diaphragms with spiral
binders. Crimp ends of all spiral binders. Corner stiffeners are
then installed diagonally across the corners on 1-foot centers
(not used for gabions less than 3-feet high). The stiffeners must
be hooked over crossing wires and crimped closed at both ends.
Final gabion alignment must be checked before filling begins.
Filling
Fill material must be as specified by the engineer. It must have
suitable compressive strength and durability to resist the
loading, as well as the effects of water and weathering. Usually,
3 to 8-inch clean, hard stone is specified. A well graded stone-
fill increases density. Place the stone in 12-inch lifts with power
equipment, but distribute evenly by hand to minimize voids and
ensure a pleasing appearance along the exposed faces. Keep
baskets square and diaphragms straight. The fill in adjoining
cells should not vary in height by more than 1-foot. Level the
final stone layer allowing the diaphragms’ tops to be visible.
Lower lids and bind along all gabions’ edges and at diaphragms’
tops with spiral binders. Alternatively, tie or lacing wire can be
utilized for this operation.
Successive Courses
Place the next course of assembled empty gabions on top of the
filled course. Stagger the joints so that the vertical connections
are offset from one another. Bind the empty baskets to the filled
ones below the spirals or tie wire at all external bottom edges.
Bind vertical edges together with spiral binders and continue
with the same steps as for the first layer. Successive courses are
placed in like manner until the structure is complete.
Gabion Walls Design Guide
Gravity Wall Design
Gabion Walls are generally analyzed as gravity retaining walls,
that is, walls which use their own weight to resist the lateral
earth pressures. The use of horizontal layers of welded wire
mesh (Anchor Mesh) as horizontal tie-backs for soil
reinforcement (MSE Walls) is discussed separately. This
material is presented for the use of a qualified engineer familiar
with traditional procedures for retaining wall design.
Gabion walls may be stepped on either the front or the back (soil
side) face as illustrated in Figure 1. The design of both types is
based on the same principles.
Design begins with the selection of trail dimensions for a typical
vertical cross section through the wall. Four main steps must
then be followed:
1. Determine the forces acting on the wall.
2. Check that resisting moment exceeds the overturning
moment by a suitable safety factor.
3. Check that sliding resistance exceeds the active
horizontal force by a suitable safety factor.
4. Check that the resultant force falls within the middle
third of the wall’s base, and that the maximum bearing
pressure is within the allowable limit.
These steps are repeated iteratively until a suitable design that
meets all criteria is achieved. The wall stability must be
checked at the base and at each course. Pertinent equations are
given below, and an application is illustrated in Example 1.
Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE)
Walls Soil Reinforcement
When required, flat layers of welded wire mesh (Anchor Mesh)
are specified as soil reinforcement to secure the gabion wall into
the backfill. In such cases, the Anchor Mesh must be joined
securely to the gabion wall facing with spirals or tie wire at the
specified elevations as layers of backfill are placed and
compacted.

GRAVITY WALLS
Forces Acting on the Wall
As shown in Figure 1, the main forces acting on gabion walls
are the vertical forces from the weight of the gabions and the
lateral earth pressure acting on the back face. These forces are
used herein to illustrate the main design principles. If other
forces are encountered, such as vehicular loads or seismic loads,
they must also be included in the analysis.
The weight of a unit length (one foot) of wall is simply the
product of the wall cross section and the density of the gabion
fill. The latter value may be conservatively taken as 100 lb/ft3
for typical material (Wg).
The lateral earth pressure is usually calculated by the Coulomb
equation. Although based on granular material, it is
conservative for cohesive material. According to Coulomb
theory, the total active force of the triangular pressure
distribution acting on the wall is:
2/2HswaKaP =
Equation 1
Where ws is the soil density, H is the wall height, and Ka is the
coefficient of active soil pressure. The soil density is often
taken as 120 lb/ft3 where a specific value is not available.
If a uniformly distributed surcharge pressure (q) is present on
top of the backfill surface, it may be treated as an equivalent
layer of soil that creates a uniform pressure over the entire
height of the wall. Equation 1 is modified to:
)2/2( qHHswaKaP +=

Where:
α = slope angle of backfill surface
β = acute angle of back face slope with vertical (-value
where as in Fig. 1A; + value when as in Fig. 1B)
δ = angle of wall friction
φ = angle of internal friction of soil
Pa is inclined to a line normal to the slope of the back face by
the angle δ . However, because the effect of wall friction is
small, δ is usually taken as zero. Typical values of φ for
various soils are given in Table I. Values of Ka for various
combinations of ß, δ , and α are given in Table II.
The horizontal component of Pa is:
βcosaPhP =
Equation 3
The vertical component of Pa is usually neglected in design
because it reduces the overturning moment and increases the
sliding resistance.
Overturning Moment Check
The active soil pressure forces tend to overturn the wall, and this
must be properly balanced by the resisting moment developed
from the weight of the wall and other forces. Using basic
principles of statics, moments are taken about the toe of the wall
to check overturning.
This check may be expressed as
oMoSFrM ≥
Equation 4
Where Mr is the resisting moment, Mo is the overturning
moment, and SFo is the safety factor against overturning
(typically 2.0). Each moment is obtained by summing the
products of each appropriate force times its perpendicular
distance the toe of the wall.
Neglecting wall friction, the active earth force acts normal to the
slope of the back face at a distance H/3 above the base. When a
surcharge is present, the distance of the total active force above
the toe becomes

Equation 6
The weight of the gabion wall (Wg) acts vertically through the
centroid of its cross section area. The horizontal distance to this
point from the toe of the wall (dg) may be obtained from the
statical moment of wall areas. That is, moments of areas about
the toe are taken, then divided by the total area, as shown in
Example 1.
4. Rev. 11/04 Page 3 of 12 Modular Gabion Systems
The resisting moment is the sum of the products of vertical
forces or weights per unit length (W) and their distance (d) from
the toe of the wall:
dWrM ∑=
Equation 7
For the simple gravity wall, the resisting moment is provided
entirely by the weight of the wall and
gWgdrM =
Equation 7A
Sliding Resistance Check
The tendency of the active earth pressure to cause the wall to
slide horizontally must be opposed by the frictional resistance at
the base of the wall. This may be expressed as
hPsSFvW ≥µ
Equation 8
Where µ is the coefficient of the sliding friction (tan of angle of
friction of soil), Wv is the sum of the vertical forces (Wg in this
case), and SFs is the safety factor against sliding (typically 1.5).
Check Bearing Pressure
First check to determine if the resultant vertical force lies within
the middle third of the base. If B denotes the width of the base,
the eccentricity, e, of the vertical force from the midwidth of the
base is
v)/WoM-r(M-B/2e =

For the resultant force to lie in the middle third:

The maximum pressure must not exceed the allowable soil
bearing pressure, Pb:

The safety factor must be included in Pb.

Reinforced Soil Walls
To increase the efficiency of MSE gabion walls, layers of wire
mesh (Anchor Mesh) may be attached to the back face and
embedded in the backfill. The Anchor Mesh layers in this
reinforced soil wall will resist the active soil force, by a
combination of friction on the wire surface and mechanical
interlock with the soil. Reinforced soil walls generally use a
single thickness of gabions. Design consists of (1) walls
stability checks similar to that for gravity walls, assuming the
gabions and the reinforced soil act together as one unit, and (2)
checks for strength and pullout resistance of the reinforcement
layers, to ensure such action. The considerations that differ
from gravity wall design are discussed below.
Walls will typically be 6 degrees from vertical. To simplify
calculations, assume wall is vertical for certain calculations as
indicated in Example 2.
In checking overturning, sliding and bearing, the weight of the
soil in the reinforced zone is included with the weight of the
wall.
The tensile force in each layer of reinforcement is assumed to
resist the active earth force over an incremental height of wall.
Its calculated value must be limited to the tensile strength of the
mesh divided by the safety factor (typically 1.85). Therefore:
3000/1.85=1620 lb/ft.
As in gravity wall design, the wall is designed to resist the force
generated by a sliding wedge of soil as defined by Coulomb.
The reinforcement at each layer must ext end past the wedge by
at least 3-feet, and by a distance sufficient to provide anchorage
in the adjacent soil. Generally, this results in a B distance 0.5 to
0.7 times the height of the wall.
Additional equations used in the design of MSE walls, derived
from statics are given in Example 2.
Example 2:
Given Data (See Cross Section, page 10)
Wall Height…………… H = 24 ft (21 ft+3 ft embedment)
Wall Thickness………… T = 3 ft
Surcharge……………… Q = 300 psf

(1) Determine if safety factors are within limits:
The trial value for dimension B was selected as 16.5
approximately 0.7H. Also see note near the end of part 2 below
on trial selection of B to provide adequate embedment length.
In these calculations, positive values are used for the sin and tan
of β and the sign in the equation changed as necessary.
