Expansive soils are recognized by their swelling potential upon wetting due to the existence of some clay minerals such as montmorillonite. An effective solution was found avoid danger using piles. A single pile embedded in an elasto-plastic expansive soil has been analyzed one available software which is ABAQUS investigate effect applied loads on pile’s top and load carrying capacity pile. The...

When applying axial load on piles subjected to negative skin friction (NSF), the yielded NSF is gradually eliminated. The process is notably influenced by the tip location (Y) and still a lack of understanding. This paper reports three-dimensional numerical simulations with tip locations Y = 1.00 pile diameter (D), 0.25D, 0.00D, and -1.00D. It is found that, against expectations, the dragload a...

In this paper, inelastic pile-soil-structure interaction under static loading is presented by using finite element and boundary element methods. Linear beam column finite elements are used to model the piles and structural elements. Nonlinear soil is modeled by using nonlinear springs along the piles. Modified Özdemir’s nonlinear model is implemented for springs and systems of equations are cou...

Abstract Pile foundations are adopted if a soil of low bearing capacity extends to considerable depth or the structure is heavy settlement due large. It transfers load strong, stable stratum soil. The behaviour in slope and piles embedded it an elaborated soil-structure interaction problem. This paper presents results experimental investigations on single pile subjected lateral by varying relat...

abstract: Pile caps are structural elements used to transfer loads from the superstructure a group of piles. The design is normally based on analytical formulations, considering strut and tie method. Through advance computational technology, use an integrated soil foundation model may suggest behavioral trend obtain more realistic modeling for element being studied. This work aimed at analyzing...

Tailored gradation in elastic–plastic properties is known to offer avenues for suppressing surface damage during normal indentation and sliding contact. In tribological applications, sliding contact analysis provides a more representative mechanism for fundamental understanding and design as it offers a tool to test materials under conditions of controlled abrasive wear. However, no such study ...
