The present study compared the performance of soldier pile and concrete bearing pad anchored wall facings. Using Abaqus finite element software, two case studies have been precisely represented for the facing designs and effects of the parameters of soil type, spacing of anchors and facings, surcharge and facing sizes were investigated. The analysis results indicate that the soldier pile method...

this paper develops an analytical method to calculate seismic bearing capacity of a strip footing, which is located on a slope reinforced with rows of pile. the resistance of passive pile is determined based on normal and shear stress of the soil around the pile, which is then compared to other analytical methods. this comparison indicates an acceptable agreement. the variants of the study incl...

This paper presents novel measurement data on the dynamic soil–structure interaction of an end-bearing pile foundation. The purpose is to assess ability predict foundation impedances based small-strain properties soil obtained from site investigations. Measurements were performed in two stages construction, allowing between piles through soil. First, single and factors experimentally for four w...

This paper proposes an analytical method based on drained solutions of cavity expansion and contraction in a unified clay sand model to investigate tunnel–soil–pile interactions. Cavity analyses are used evaluate the effects pile installation ground stresses determine end-bearing capacity distribution shaft friction. methods were adopted replicate tunnel convergence–confinement response using s...

Analyzing piles subjected to lateral loads significantly depends on soil resistance at any point along the pile as a function of pile deflection, known as p-y curve. On the other hand, the deformation characteristics of soil defined as “the soil strain at 50% of maximum deviatoric stress (ε50)” has considerable effect on the generated p-y curve. In this research, several models are proposed to ...

In order to study pressed pile test and ultimate bearing capacity character of large-diameter steel pipe pile, based on two high-piled wharfs of Zhanjiang Port, pressed pile test and numerical simulation of three large-diameter steel pipe piles are analyzed in this paper. Anchored pile method is used to pressed pile test, and the curves of Q-s and ultimate bearing capacity are attained. Then th...

We show that the one-dimensional Oslo rice-pile model is a special case of the abelian distributed processors model. The exact steady state of the model is determined. We show that the time evolution operator W for the system satisfies the equation Wn+1 = Wn where n = L(L + 1)/2 for a pile with L sites. This is used to prove that W has only one eigenvalue 1 corresponding to the steady state, an...
