Helical piles are used mainly to resist tension forces generated by uplift and overturning
moments of various structures, therefore they have been suggested as a potential alternative …

This paper reviews some key issues regarding the cyclic loading response of offshore piled
foundations. Starting with axial loading it considers: the cyclic loading that can be expected; …

Serviceability criteria for offshore monopiles include the estimation of long-term, permanent
tilt under repeated operational loads. In the lack of well-established analysis methods …

This paper presents the results of axial load tests performed on instrumented model piles
pre-installed in a large-scale, half-circular chamber with a viewing window in its flat-side …

Multiple axial cyclic and static loading tests have been performed on industrial steel pipe-
piles driven at Dunkerque, northern France. This paper describes the site's geotechnical …

Dynamic responses of the geosynthetic-encased stone column (GESC) supported
embankment under traffic loads have become a hot topic. This study investigates the …

Tripod pile foundation is pursued as an efficient foundation system for offshore wind turbines
(OWTs) installed in deeper waters (20–50m). In this application, the foundations would be …

Displacement piles are driven to support a wide range of structures. Predicting their axial
limiting capacities and load-displacement behavior is critical to many such engineering …

A novel scheme to apply constitutive (continuum) soil models to the mechanical modelling of
soil‐structure interfaces is presented. Opposite to existing approaches, all normal stress …

This paper reports a programme of static and cyclic loading tests on seven open steel tubes
driven in low-to medium-density chalk at a well-characterised test site, describing their …
