Abstract In Simply supported bridge, superstructure and substructure are separated by the expansion joint bearing. Integral bridge (IB), deck is casted monolithically with abutment wall. bridges have increased redundancy, which improves its seismic performance. Bridge fails may fail due to failure of bearing, non‐availability seating width does not occur in IB. The single pile analysis performe...

Abstract During installation of driven or jacked piles in sand, particle crushing occurs a region below the base these piles. Quantification degree and extent during driving jacking sand is necessary to improve current design methods. To study effects on capacity uniform silica samples, model pile was tested half-cylindrical calibration chamber with transparent observation windows its front wal...

This paper introduces an experimental research on the behavior of piled raft foundation (PRF) in sand two states (loose and medium sand). A small model has been tested a soil container vertical load was applied to through pneumatic jack. The settlement measured using displacement transducer; three sensors were attached pile heads measure axial borne group by each Arduino data logger. laboratory...

This study aimed to investigate whether the seismic fragility and performance of interaction soil-pile-structure (ISPS) were affected by different parameters: axial load, a section pile, longitudinal steel ratio pile implanted in type sand (loose, medium, dense). In order better understand ISPS phenomena, series nonlinear static analysis have been conducted for two cases, namely: (i) fixed syst...

2014 It is demonstrated using Faraday exprimental results and interpretations that air should not play a major cast in the experimental data published by Laroche et al.. This is also supported by other more recent studies. J. Phys. France 51 (1990) 697-700 15 AVRIL 1990, Classification Physics Abstracts 46.10-47.20F-05.60 The experimental results reported in this paper are really beautiful and ...

The design of axially loaded piles has been an area focus for the offshore industry in recent years. A number studies report substantial increases shaft capacity driven sand, known as pile ageing. slow to implement ageing into practice because uncertainty over mechanisms controlling and variability on impact This paper presents results tests using instrumented with two separate installations co...

Estimating pile group efficiency for open-ended steel piles in small arrangements is a challenging task designers. This paper reports on the large-scale experimental campaign performed BorWin gamma offshore converter platform, which involved single and two-pile systems scale of 1:10. The works included installation, dynamic end-of-driving tests, restrike static load tests pair groups densely co...
