The open-ended pipe piles are among the that employed most frequently because of their advantages, including ease transport and resistance to driving stress. It is further distinguished by fact soil column formed inside pile increases capacity. Numerous ideas have been presented forth in literature enhance performance these piles. In this study, it suggested a steel collar be used at its lowest...

Natural gas pipeline projects in mountainous areas are inevitably affected by geological disasters such as landslides, which pose a serious threat to the safe operation of pipelines along routes crossing landslide areas. In this paper, based on pipe-landslide project area southwest China, interaction mechanism and failure evolution process landslide-pipeline system reinforced two kinds micropil...

The paper discusses the new design of a round pile with relatively smoother surface, developed in an attempt to eliminate excessive negative friction forces. A theoretical study has been conducted into performance asbestos-cement shell exposed off-center loading, which occurs response uneven deformations surrounding soil and seismic loads. cross section upper eccentrically compressed part flexi...

Anthropogenic noise emission in the marine environment is a key issue nowadays and has drawn the attention of regulatory bodies in various nations. In particular, the noise generated during the installation of foundation piles for the offshore wind industry is considered to be harmful for aquatic species. A reliable prediction of the underwater noise during the installation of a foundation pile...

The flow of a viscous fluid along a curving pipe of fixed radius is driven by a pressure gradient. For a generally curving pipe it is the fluid flux which is constant along the pipe and so I correct fluid flow solutions of Dean (1928) and Topakoglu (1967) which assume constant pressure gradient. When the pipe is straight, the fluid adopts the parabolic velocity profile of Poiseuille flow; the s...
