  Bearing Capacity of Double Box Shaped Skirted Footings on Sand

  By Rakesh Kumar Dutta, Tammineni Gnananandarao, Vishwas Nandkishor Khatri

  Abstract: The double-box-shaped footing with and without skirt and sand-resting pressure settlement behavior was discussed in this paper. Different parameters are normalised skirt depth (0.25 to 1.5), relative sand density (30 to 60 percent) and sand footing interface state (partially rough and rough). Results of this study showed that a general and local shear failure was observed at a relative density of 50 percent and 60 percent, and 30 percent and …

  Effect of Alccofine and Tyre buffings on Engineering Properties of Sand

  By Rakesh Kumar Dutta, Vishwas Nandkishor Khatri, Gayathri Venkataraman, A A Saqi

  Abstract: In the present paper, the effect of alccofine and tyre buffings addition on the compression and bearing ratio of sand are evaluated through laboratory study. On the basis of compaction test, a reference mix composed of sand + 12 % alccofine + 2 % tire buffing was selected for further study. The unconfined compression and bearing ratio test on the reference mix was then carried out by curing the sample …
