Performance-Based Design in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering
From Case History to Practice
Edited by Takaji Kokusho, Yoshimichi Tsukamoto, Mitsutoshi Yoshimine
* ISBN: 978-0-415-55614-9
* Binding: Hardback

* Pages: 388
This book presents current developments in performance-based design (PBD) in earthquake geotechnical engineering, including various case histories, numerical methods, soil investigations and engineering practice. Special attention is paid to the 2008 Wenchuan Sichuan earthquake in China, performance evaluations, the role of soil investigations, criteria/design codes, and the performance and future perspectives of PBD. The information in this book will be of particular interest to researchers in earthquake geotechnical engineering, and practicing geotechnical and structural engineers.
RAM Elements V8i SELECTseries1 release 10.01.00.75
(formerly RAM Advanse)
info:
RAM Elements V8i SELECTseries1 release 10.01.00.75 has now been launched. This new version includes minor enhancements and several fixes or problems reported by users of v10.00.01.38. The features included are:
1. Compatibility with RAM Connection v6.0.
2. Physical shells with more than 4 nodes.
3. Improved DXF import to bring in simple surfaces (3DFACE) from CAD as shells in RE.
4. Customizable vertical direction (Y or Z) when importing from a DXF from CAD programs.
5. Several minor bug fixes and corrections.

-----------------------------------
This paper describes the foundation design process adopted for the Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest building. The foundation system is a piled raft, founded on deep deposits of carbonate soils and rocks. The paper will outline the geotechnical investigations undertaken, the field and laboratory testing programs, and the design process, and will discuss how various design issues, including cyclic degradation of skin friction due to wind loading, were addressed. The numerical computer analysis that was adopted for the original design together with the check/calibration analyses will be outlined, and then the alternative analysis employed for the peer review process will be described. The paper sets out how the various design issues were addressed, including ultimate capacity, overall stability under wind and seismic loadings, and the settlement and differential settlements.
The comprehensive program of pile load testing that was undertaken, which included grouted and non-grouted piles to a maximum load of 64MN, will be presented and “Class A” predictions of the axial load-settlement behavior will be compared with the measured behavior. The settlements of the towers observed during construction will be compared with those predicted.
