The Elastic Response of Buried Cylinders in Sand
The results of the study indicate that there are certain regimes where the elastic theory could be used to determine the dynamic magnification factors. Further, elastic theory does not appear to be applicable over the entire pressure domain nor does it appear to predict the location of the maximum strain. A majority of the observed phenomena may be explained by the fact that the static transmissibility of the soil increases in higher pressure regions and by the fact that the dynamic transmissibility is higher than the static for the low pressure regions. Both the static and dynamic transmissibilities seem to converge in the higher pressure regions. (Author).
Behavior of Flexible Cylinders Buried in Sand Under Static and Dynamic Loading
The general objective of the investigation was to study experimentally the behavior to failure of flexible, horizontally oriented cylinders buried at various depths in dense, dry sand and subjected to either static or dynamic surface overpressures. Static and dynamic tests were conducted on 33 different cylinders, fabricated of high-yield-strength aluminum. Results indicated that collapse of the cylinders occurred while the strains in the cylinder walls were still in the elastic range. The cylinders buried at the shallow depths (zero to one-half cylinder diameter above the crown) collapsed by a catastrophic snap-through or caving of the crown. For the cylinders buried at depths of three-quar...
