Should grouted anchors have short tendon bond length?

Article Abstract:

Advantages and disadvantages of varying tendon bond lengths are examined. It is posited that a longer unbonded length can draw away ground stresses from a wall provided the anchor is installed in rock rather than clay or sand, but shorter tendon bonds work well if overall length is fixed.

SALLOP: Simple Approach for Lateral Loads on Piles

Article Abstract:

A discussion is presented on load factor calculations for piles using a preboring pressuremeter test approach. The advantages and disadvantages are examined, focusing on the limitations and conditions imposed on the model's regression techniques.

Probabilistic evaluation of earthquake-induced slope failure

Article Abstract:

A discussion is presented on the role of peak horizontal acceleration as a measure of ground motion amplitude. It is posited that location and definition of acceleration values are key in determining the accuracy of the model.
