793171 ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATION OF EARTH AND ROCKFILL
DAMS

Presents a finite element program which was
devel.~ped to aralyse the changes in stress and
the movements which occur in zoned dams during
consolidation of the core and the eatabliahment
of stea~ly seepage conditions. The Cam Clay elastic-plastic stress-strain relationship was extemded to model more accurately the behaviour
of compacted clay soils. The theore~[csl treatment also dealt with permeability and degree
of saturation. The program was tested on a new
pr oJect.

Relates to a French project which required the
excavation of part of an exiatir~ embankment
to allow the passage of a main road diversion.
A method of calcttlatlng settlement in the case
of a very wide four~atlon reatimg on alluvial
ground of limited thickness is presented. Calculated values are compared with measured values.

An approximate closed-form solution to t h e pro-blem of a vertically loaded pile in a linear
elastic soil is presented. The solution is derived by uncoupling the load transfer for the
pile into separate shaft and base components.
The solution give~ the load-settlement ratio
of the pile in terms of pile geometry and stiffness and soil stiffness. The solution is used
to back-amalyse pile tests, enabling the soil
stiffness profile to be eatlr~ted from loadsettlement measurements. Design cm-ves are given
far piles of different gecmetz-ies in two typical soft clays.
