| Abstract | Spudcan rotational fixity under combined vertical, horizontal and moment loading is often assumed to be invariant with time. In reality, the actual rotational fixity of spudcan footing is likely to change with time as excess pore pressure builds up and dissipates. This paper describes a series of centrifuge experimental tests conducted at 100-g acceleration using a small spudcan model and specimens of normally consolidated reconstituted kaolin clay. Using a servo-motor, belt-driven actuator system, loading episodes comprising one thousand cycles of combined loading were applied to model foundation. The PPTs are installed in soil specimens to measure the excess pore pressure and degree of saturation of soil. One small-rotation test is conducted just after spudcan’s penetration; while another one small-rotation is conducted when the excess pore pressure is fully dissipated after the spudcan’s penetration. The results show bending moments at four locations along the spudcan shaft, which indicates that the lattice confers a significant lateral soil resistance, and the presence of the lattice will also cause the location of maximum bending moment to be up-shifted along the leg, towards to the soil surface. The rotational fixity of the spudcan shows distinct changes over time, which is attributed to consolidation and settlement effects. Comparison of fixity of spudcan with and without lattice leg indicates that the lattice leg can lead to a large increase in lateral resistance of deeply penetrated spudcans. This lattice leg effect has been largely ignored in both academic study and industrial design. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
