The testing chamber where sand is deposited is instrumented with an array of pressure sensors, and the rig is equipped with a miniature cone penetration testing (mini-CPT) device. Measurements from the earth pressure sensors and cone tip resistance profiles are used to evaluate how friction at the sand−chamber interfaces affects the distribution of geostatic stresses inside the chamber, the uniformity of sand beds and boundary effects during deposition and during mini-CPT testing. The air pluviation system allows preparing layered sand profiles by adjusting the deposition parameters on the fly, and this feature is demonstrated through the analysis of mini-CPT tests performed in layered sand beds.]]> Wed 19 Apr 2023 13:17:15 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16748 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:59:22 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:829 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:18:03 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17470 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:08:01 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43545 Tue 27 Sep 2022 15:41:30 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32511 Tue 12 Jun 2018 15:33:14 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55509 Tue 04 Jun 2024 20:53:53 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38307 3D software. The vertical bearing capacity was assessed by considering the influences of the width and number of the variable cross-sections and the soil characteristics around the pile. In addition, new large STH piles of two different forms were assessed to expand the practical application of such piles. The results showed that, for a large-diameter pile, the concrete utilisation rate and the vertical bearing capacity of the pile were improved by the design of hollow and variable cross-sections. The optimal range of the taper angle for the large STH pile was found to be 2·68–5·36° and the optimal number of variable cross-sections was found to be between two and four. The bearing capacity increased with an increase in the soil shear strength parameters and the pile was deemed suitable for stiff strata. The results of this work could facilitate design practice for large STH piles.]]> Thu 26 Aug 2021 11:53:32 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17344 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:01:43 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5962 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:46:23 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26220 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:02 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23518 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:45 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34384 Mon 23 Sep 2019 11:28:49 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18646 Mon 20 Jul 2015 16:52:21 AEST ]]>
