In this study, a total number of 20 centrifuge tests were carried out to investigate monopile behaviour under lateral cyclic loading. The instrumented model pile simulates an offshore wind turbine foundation with embedment ratio 5 installed in sand layers two relative densities 80% and 50%. influence the directional characteristic amplitude load on was studied. data analysis focused accumulatio...

A detailed biomechanical model of the low-back musculature that predicts muscle-force distribution in response to external loading is presented. The paper shows that the class of loading tasks that involve an erect posture and an arbitrary load placed on the upper limbs can be described as a loading plane whose axes are the flexion and lateral bending moments. Under these conditions, the indivi...

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...
