16. SIGNIFICANT TECHNICAL CONTRIBUTIONS

1. PREDICTION AND PERFORMANCE IN GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING

Analysis and design of geotechnical structures is based upon several simplifying

assumptions on soil behavior and it is, therefore, necessary that performance be

checked with the predictions. A systematic program has been started for 8-years on

performance of (1) Pile Foundations (2) Rigid retaining walls (3) Liquefaction and (4)

Vibratory Footings.

2. ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF RETAINING WALLS UNDER EARTHQUAKE

CONDITIONS

Based on analysis of the behavior of retaining walls under earthquakes and laboratory

studies, a design procedure which considers both the traditional criteria as well as the

displacements of retaining walls during earthquakes was developed in 1974. More

recently (1995) a design method has been developed based upon permissible

displacements soil non-linearity and sinusoidal ground motion. This is very

comprehensive yet simple method of design of such structures. A monograph for design

by the field engineer has been published. A computer Code for Design of Retaining

Walls based on displacements and for real ground motion has been perfected

considering several water conditions behind the wall and a method for design of walls

according to Eurocode has been developed (1999).

3. BEHAVIOR OF PILE FOUNDATIONS UNDER EARTHQUAKE CONDITIONS

Studies were initiated on behavior of piles under dynamic loads both in the laboratory

as well as in the field. A design method developed in 1980 facilitated the design of piles

for static and dynamic loads. This design procedure has since been published in

technical journals as well as in the textbooks. Although this work was done in 1978, it

continues to be valid even today. A company in Chicago has used this procedure for

design of 2000 piles for their atomic power plant. A new method was later developed

(1993) considering soil non-linearly. A computer code has been developed for analysis

of piles under earthquake loads, considering super-structure interaction.

4. ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF VIBRATORY FOOTINGS CONSIDERING SOIL

NON-LINEARITY

A computer program has been developed for design of vibrating footings under vertical,

torsional, sliding and rocking vibrations. The behavior of up to 16' diameter footings

was predicted which compared very well with the full scale tests. The design procedure

has been extended to cover embedded machine foundations, considering soil non-

linearity and frequency dependent stiffness and radiation damping. A unique correction

to radiation damping has been applied in vertical vibrations to match the computed and

measured amplitudes at resonance.

15 March 2009

5. LIQUEFACTION OF SANDS AND SILTS

Liquefaction resistance of sands is increased due to soil fabric, aging, cementation and

previous strain history. These effects cannot be studied in Laboratory. Field data of

about 70 sites has been analyzed and field resistance compared with laboratory

resistance. A good correlation has been established with corrected SPT(N ) . Also a

1 60

unique correlation has been developed between Plasticity Index and liquefaction

resistance of silts. It has been found that both for undisturbed and reconstituted samples

of silts, there is a critical value of P.I. at which the liquefaction resistance is the

minimum.

6. PILES UNDER LATERAL LOADS

A simple but realistic method of lateral load deflection prediction of pile group has

been developed in sands. Further studies are carried out on Pile groups in clay.

UMR professor: Yoga is a way of life

Kristen Jump Staff Writer

Starting Wednesdays, seniors will have the option of

attending a free yoga class, focusing on breathing, at

the Holloway House.

Dr. Shamsher Prakash, a professor emeritus from the

University of Missouri-Rolla and head of the

Shamsher Prakash Foundation, will be leading the

classes.

Prakash has been teaching yoga in Rolla, St. Louis,

Kansas City and around the world since 1979. He said

his senior yoga classes will focus on breathing, not

physical exercises.

We will be working on not only the physical act of

breathing, but also on directing our minds not to run

away from the practice, Prakash said.

In his classes, Prakash starts with warm-up exercises

first, and then moves to pranayam, which is the

regulation of breath. There are seven different types of

pranayam including bhastrika, kapalbhati, anulom-

vilom, bhramri, ujjai, shetalee and mahabanda. These

are all different types of breathing with subtle

differences. Prakash said yoga has made all the

difference in his life -- since 1962 he has only had one

bout with the common cold, he never gets headaches,

and at 74 years of age he doesn t need any medication.

Yoga is a way of life, Prakash said. I learned all

these things as a child in India from monks that came

in to teach us. This has already given me so much that

I feel like I should give back what I can. Teaching yoga -- Shamsher Prakash will offer free senior

Prakash gives back through his foundation, and by yoga classes starting Wednesday and continuing every week

offering free classes and informational pamphlets and through August at the Holloway House.

books. His Web site, www.yoga10.org, has a copy of

his yoga book.

The Shamsher Prakash Foundation (SPF) is non-profit organization that was founded in 1989 in the U.S. and 1988

in India. It has four principle focus areas: geotechnical engineering, yoga, peace an d the JJ Divine School for

Children.

Each year, SPF awards $1,100 and a plaque to young engineers who specialize in geotechnical engineering or

geotechnical earthquake engineering. The research award and the excellence prize for practice are the two annual

awards. The nominees are judged by an international group of experts each year. Winners have come from around the

world, including Greece, Canada, Thailand, the USA, Spain, Japan, Italy, India, Israel, Tunisia and Korea.

SPF arranges classes, lectures talks and yoga demonstrations through out the year, and they have published

Introduction to Prevention and Yoga, as a guide to increasing physical, mental and spiritual well -being.

To promote peace, each year the foundation sponsors an essay competition for junior high through high school

students on subjects such as peace, inner peace, world peace, peace in the community and peace at home.

The JJ Divine School for Children is an elementary school for children of migrant laborers in Khet Purrali, India. SPF

provides books and clothing for the students, as well as instruction.

The senior yoga classes will be from 10 a.m. to 10:45 p.m. at the Holloway house starting Wednesday, and will

continue every Wednesday of August.
