Concrete piles have been widely used in practice due to their large bearing capacity and
small settlement. The roughness of concrete-soil interface has a significant influence on load …

Highlights•3D soil-water coupled dynamic analysis is performed with a proposed nonlinear
soil-pile contact model.•The deformation in elastic stage and slippage in plastic stage can be …

Soil liquefaction induced by strong earthquake could cause severe failure to bridges,
particularly for river crossing simply-supported girder bridges. Consequently, it is an urgent …

Pile foundation with elevated cap is always applied for railway bridges in permafrost region
to minimize the thermal disturbance to vulnerable permafrost. Permafrost can influence the …

The increasing degree of urbanization has resulted in traffic and space congestion. When
there is no longer any aboveground space for development, the existing space underground …

This paper aims to derive seismic fragility curves for circular tunnels constructed in saturated
sand. A bounding surface plasticity constitutive model is used to simulate the progressive …

A failure prediction assessment is generally required to enhance infrastructural seismic
design. This study used Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and the Finite Element Method …

Earthquake-induced soil liquefaction and lateral spreading often causes damage to pile
foundations of quays and offshore structures. In this study, the soil-pile-quay wall interaction …

The statistical data of earthquake hazard indicate that the liquefaction and large lateral flow
deformation of ground is one of the main reasons of pile foundation failure. It is significant to …

In this study, the dynamic responses of a single pile in liquefiable sand under bidirectional
loading are investigated using fully coupled three-dimensional nonlinear finite element …
