Scouring causes reduction in the load-carrying capacity of pile foundation. The load-carrying
capacity of a pile foundation can be increased by increasing the pile dimension. In the …

In the present study, the uplift capacity of the under-reamed piles (also referred to as belled
piles) in the sand was determined by following a finite element analysis. In this regard, the …

This paper presents a study conducted on a multi-under-reamed pile having a small bulb
size, but more than two in number. The proposed design is aimed to mobilize the side …

Ensuring a safe foundation design in soft clay is always a challenging task to engineers. In
the present study, the effectiveness of under-reamed piles in soft clay underlaid by stiff clay …

The present paper tries to explore the load-settlement behavior of an under-reamed pile
subjected to either compressive or pull-out loading and installed in clay whose cohesion …

Till now, limited studies have been conducted on the response of full bulb group under-
reamed piles in sand; the available studies were limited to loose sand. Therefore, in the …

The studies on the lateral response of under-reamed piles in sand are very limited.
Therefore, a 3D numerical model is developed to study the behavior of under-reamed piles …

This work presents an experimental study that investigates the behavoir of both conventional
and under-reamed piles embedded in a single layer of sand with varying relative densities …

A bstract The usage of geocell reinforcement for foundations supported on weak soil has
been increased these days. The purposed study uses FEM-based ABAQUS software to …

The failures of pile foundations in water-borne structures are often attributed to the scouring
phenomenon. Even though many studies are available on the countermeasures against …
