The direct cone penetration test (CPT) based pile design methods use the measured
penetrometer readings by scaling relationships or algorithms in a single-step process to …

NCHRP synthesis 368 explores the current practices of departments of transportation
associated with cone penetration testing (CPT). The report examines cone penetrometer …

Advances in the design of axially loaded piles are desirable because significant cost
savings may result. Well-designed piles settle by amounts that are well tolerated by the …

Residual soils are found in many parts of the world. Like other soils, they are used
extensively in construction, either to build upon, or as construction material. They are formed …

The paper deals with the analysis of static loading tests carried out in 3 different types of
piles: bored piles with temporary casing, continuous flight auger, CFA, piles (bored and CFA …

Geotechnical analyses of bridge foundations are complex because of the difficulties in
addressing the highly nonlinear and anisotropic stress-strain-strength-time behavior of soils …

Foundations supporting electrical transmission line structures are subjected to inclined
loads due to gravity dead and live loads, and lateral wind loads. Due to land limitation and …

This project includes experimental and numerical studies to investigate and assess the
impact of vertical loads on a laterally loaded drilled shaft under various conditions. The …

This study numerically investigates the side resistance of drilled shafts (bored piles) in sand
using FLAC2D computer program. The results of the equations available in the literature are …
