© 2022 Elsevier LtdThis study presents a novel approach to account for the soil nonlinearity of nonhomogeneous soil deposits in foundation deflection analyses in the context of a modified Vlasov foundation model. We present an extension of the previously proposed formulation by developing a new formulation employing an improved algorithm that takes the modulus degradation curves at varying strain levels into account in an iterative manner. This new model, which takes the nonlinear soil behavior into account, was first verified against a linear elastic soil model given in the literature to ensure that the new model algorithm can capture the original solution when the soil behavior is assumed to be linear elastic. Later, the experimental data reported in the literature for a specific type of dense and loose sands were used in the example analyses. Example problems were considered for different cases, which presented (i) how the model captures nonlinear behavior and (ii) the significant effect of the nonlinear soil behavior. The result of the new model was also compared with the finite element model results, assuming elastoplastic soil. The results obtained from both models match well, especially for the maximum deflection value, provided that laterally constrained sections underneath the foundation are used.

A SIMPLIFIED APPROACH TO THE SETTLEMENT ESTIMATION OF PILED RAFTS Kalpakci, Volkan; Özkan, M. Yener (2012-01-01) In this study, a simplified approach to the settlement estimation of piled rafts resting on over-consolidated clay deposits is presented. For this purpose, a series of plane-strain and three-dimensional analyses were performed and their results are compared with the available data in the literature. It was found that the percentage decrease in the total settlements with the addition of piles with respect to the unpiled case is very closely estimated by both the plane-strain and the three-dimensional, simpli...
An assessment of Winkler model for simulation of shallow foundation uplift Taymuş, Refik Burak; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tolga; Department of Engineering Sciences (2008) Foundation uplift is the partial separation of a shallow foundation from soil due to excessive load eccentricity. Foundation uplift can significantly change the seismic response of slender structures, and frames as well. In literature, different support models for foundations are employed in order to simulate foundation uplift in seismic analysis of structures. One of the most widely used models is the Winkler model which assumes distributed tensionless springs beneath a shallow foundation. In this study, t...
An Investigation of seismic behaviour of multi-span bridges on shallow foundations with soil-structure interaction methods Akkaya, Ekin; Bakır, Bahadır Sadık; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) During the design process of most of the bridge projects, the interaction between soil surrounding the foundation, and bridge-pier foundations is not accounted due to the complexity of application. Although it is accepted that disregarding the interaction results in reasonable and economical solutions that are on the safe side, this is not always the case. Since the ground supporting and surrounding the foundation is a deformable medium, displacements occur at the shallow foundations of bridge-piers. Also, ...
Study of modeling of water saturation in archie and non-archie porous media Dalkhaa, Chantsalmaa; Okandan, Ender; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2005) The aim of this thesis is to study water saturation models available in the literature and to apply a proper one to a real field case. Archie equation is the most well-known water saturation model. However, it is formulated on some assumptions and is applicable to only clean sands. Archie equation cannot be used for shaly formation. There are many shaly water saturation models that account for shale effect for water saturation estimation. In this study, 3 wells, namely Well-01, Well-02 and Well-03 are studi...
A Preliminary study on construction of a high capacity tensiometer and its use in measurement of matrik suction in unsaturated soils Köksalan, Ali Okan; Toker, Nabi Kartal; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Soil suction is one of the main state parameters that governs unsaturated soil behaviour. Tensiometers are the only type of probe that can measure soil suction directly, but only up to 90 kPa. In the past two decades, a new type of tensiometer with much greater measurement range (up to 2 MPa) has appeared in the literature. The measurement range (i.e. capacity) of a tensiometer is limited by (i) how well it is saturated, and (ii) the air entry value of its porous interface. In this study, the first high cap...
