DEVELOPMENT OF T-Z CURVES FOR BORED PILES EMBEDDED IN CEMENTED SAND FROM DYNAMIC LOAD TEST[ ]


Soil response due to axial compression loading is represented by a relationship curve between pile shaft resistance and pile movement (z) or “T-Z Curve”. The curve can be obtained by several methods, such as analytics formula, Direct Shear Test, and Instrumented Static Load Test. Instrumented Static Load Test give the best result because the resistance and the movement are measured in site. However, the test is very expensive. Hence, another method which can establish T-Z Curve is still needed. In Indonesia, PDA Test is the most common dynamic load test. The t-z curve has not been established from the test yet. This paper presents the findings that the t-z curve can be developed by PDA test by carried it out in different energy. The curve from dynamic load test will be compared with instrumented static load test to verify the reliability of the result. The test is carried out in bored piles embedded in cemented sand. This research presents that PDA Test can establish T-Z Curve as good as the instrumented static load test.

Kanamycin spray as an effective method of screening transgenic cotton in field[ ]


Transgenic technology has become the most favoured technology in cotton for the development of biotic and abiotic stress resistant varieties. Npt-II is the most commonly used selectable marker gene in transgenics that expresses gene product resistant to Kanamycin. Since the regeneration capability of cotton is very minimal and there are very few plants regenerated from callus, selection for Kanamycin resistance needs to be very precise. Kanamycin selection is one of the methods that can be effectively used to screen true positives, false-positives and true negative plants. The present study reports the systemic effects of kanamycin on seedlings of cotton and also a simple low cost method for screening transgenics.
