MEDIUM-SCALE LOADING TESTS AND NUMERICAL ANALYSES OF CAISSON TYPE PILE UNDER LATERAL LOADING CONDITION ON SLOPE OF MEDIUM-HARD ROCK

Torsional Pile Subjected to Transient Loading in Viscoelastic Poroelastic Medium

Considering viscoelastic saturated soil, The transient dynamic response of an elastic pile is studied. The pile-soil system is divided into thin layers, the control equations of the soil are solved respectively by using Laplace transform. Considering the mixed boundary-value conditions at the interface of pile and soil, expression is derived to describe the relationship between the inner force ...

Raft and Pile Foundations under Cyclic Loading

The paper presents typical phenomena which can occur due to cyclic loading in granular soil. Numerical analysis with different material laws shows the challenges to simulate the ground behaviour realistically. Results of numerical analysis by means of the Finite-Element-Method are presented and the limitation of material laws discussed.

Static and Dynamic Lateral Loading of Pile Groups

An Experimental Study on Pile Spacing Effects under Lateral Loading in Sand

Grouped and single pile behavior differs owing to the impacts of the pile-to-pile interaction. Ultimate lateral resistance and lateral subgrade modulus within a pile group are known as the key parameters in the soil-pile interaction phenomenon. In this study, a series of experimental investigation was carried out on single and group pile subjected to monotonic lateral loadings. Experimental inv...

medium dense non-cemented carbonate sand under reversed cyclic loading

carbonate materials are mostly found in tropical areas, where exploiting gas and oil resources are of high concern. their unique behavior under shear loading first was recognised during oil resources investigations in the persian gulf. off-shore structures have been placed on carbonate soils which are highly crushable.during storms cyclic loading imposes on the bases of structures lied down on ...
