Bridges are one of the most critical parts of transportation networks that may suffer damages
against earthquakes. Also, seismic responses of most bridges are significantly influenced by …

A fully instrumented experiment was conducted to investigate the soil-structure interaction of
single short, stiff laterally loaded piles. A hollow steel pipe pile with a diameter of 102 mm, a …

The purpose of this research is to determine the capability of (and the factors which affect the
performance of) an enlarged base pier in resisting uplift capacity. Experiments were …

This paper proposes an analytical method for estimating the load versus displacement
curves for laterally loaded rigid piles in unsaturated soils taking account the influence of …

This paper aims to complement current knowledge about performance of deep foundations
in residual soils by presenting the results of a new experimental field-testing program on …

This paper presents an analytical method to predict the horizontal capacity of piles in
unsaturated soils. The method extends the well-known Broms approach to account for the …

The design and construction of cast-in situ piles rely heavily on the proper evaluation of the
end-bearing and skin friction behavior of piles by in situ loading test. In this study, distributed …

This paper presents the modelling of a single thin steel pile to simulate the relationship
between soil pressure reaction (p) and lateral deflection (y). The presented simulation helps …

Experimental evidence suggests that sands containing non-plastic or low-plasticity fines
may show either decreasing or increasing shear strength with increasing fines content in …

Little attention has been paid to investigating borehole deformation characteristics during
drilling in soil and rock mixtures commonly encountered in the construction of ground …
