Using a case study design describing a successful project with a network structure, this study presents abilities and characteristics of foundations that allow them to develop networks, norms, and trust, the core components of social capital.
Since the foundation structure is very rigid compared to the underlying foundation soil, the rocking motion of the foundation is significantly observed, which affects the characteristics of the foundation motion.
The limited shear strength of soil also causes sliding of the foundation block, which could alter the characteristics of the foundation motion.
With the test findings, it is feasible to use 40% steel slag instead of 15% or less cement to mix with sand as the foundation treatment materials, which can not only improve the dynamic characteristics of the foundation, but also save resources and protect the environment.
To capture the horizontal, vertical and rocking response characteristics of the foundation, a program of forced hybrid-mode vibration tests in the form of eccentric vertical excitation on 4 foundation models was pursued.
The characteristics of various foundation types (i.e., gravity, pile, suction caisson, and float type) and the current status of field application are discussed.
The evolution of the flutter boundaries as a function of the characteristics of the foundation is described for a typical vehicle.
Based on the numerical results, it is proposed that the hydrodynamic pressure caused by the foundation vibration is the intrinsic reason that the existence of a fluid layer has such a great effect on the dynamic characteristics of the foundation.
To help understand the characteristics of this foundation ground, an engineering geology study was required, strongly conditioned by the presence of heritage, reduced space and difficult accessibility caused by the extensive temporary support used to ensure stability of the walls.
