CAGE September Monthly Meeting
September 12, 2018
Lakewood Country Club
6800 W 10th Ave
Lakewood, CO 80214
11:30-1:00pm
Deformation of Compacted Structural Fills
Iraj Noorany, Ph.D., P.E., G.E., F. ASCE
Professor Emeritus, San Diego State University
Consulting Geotechnical Engineer
This presentation covers wetting-induced heave, settlement, and lateral fill expansion (LFE) of structural compacted fills and slopes. Examples of typical damages caused by differential heave/settlement and LFE will be discussed. The laboratory test procedures for measuring one-dimensional and three-dimensional wetting-induced swell and collapse strains will be described. Methods for analyzing and estimating amounts of heave, settlement and LFE for the design stage as well as the forensic analysis stage will be presented. The influence of fill oversize and the effect of degree of wetting will be included. These methods focus primarily on the state of practice in California and the Southwest. Guidelines for mitigating heave, settlement and LFE will be discussed briefly. A list of relevant publications will be provided.
IRAJ NOORANY, Ph.D., P.E., G.E., F. ASCE, holds a doctorate in geotechnical engineering from the
University of California, Berkeley. He is Emeritus Professor at San Diego State University, where he was Chairman of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. His research and publications have focused on shear strength of soils, marine geotechnique, and unsaturated soils with emphasis on performance of structural compacted fills and slopes. He developed the current ASTM Standard Test Method D4546 for measuring swell and collapse properties of soils. Dr. Noorany served on the editorial board of Marine Geotechnology and as an Editor of Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering. He has been the recipient of a few professional awards including ASCE’s Thomas A. Middlebrooks Award, two ASTM Standard Development Awards, and several teaching awards. He is currently a geotechnical engineering consultant with over 35 years of experience with a variety of geotechnical engineering projects including structural fills in both deep canyon and hillside developments.
