Firebrands are known to cause ignition of structures far from the primary fire front, resulting in significant damage before firefighting can be attempted. To make more resilient firebrand ignition, a better understanding heat transfer firebrands surfaces is needed. This paper provides statistical assessment different factors expected have an impact on flux piles flat surface. The included stud...

This paper presents the application of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for prediction of axial capacity of a driven pile by adopting data collected from several projects in Indonesia and Malaysia. As many as 300 data were selected for this study. In this study, ANN was set and trained to predict the axial bearing capacity from high strain dynamic testing, i.e. Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) da...

In the case of using pile technology in construction and reconstruction buildings structures, issue assessing settlement foundations arises quite sharp-ly. Modern regulatory documents do not reflect reliable methods for calculating pile-raft foundations, especially if short piles are used (with a length 3-10 m). The ar-ticle provides calculation methodology that makes it possible to assess taki...

Socket connection need a groove reserved in the cap to accommodate bridge pier, which greatly weaken vertical bearing capacity of cap. The conventional treatment measure is increase thickness cap, and corresponding cost will increase. measures enhance socket caps without increasing were discussed this paper, including rough interface at bottom additional hanging bars, high-strength grouting mat...

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...

Pile driveability analyses for offshore platforms require a unique set of criteria, which may not normally be associated with other pile foundation installations. The selected hammers, pile makeup details and soil profile must be carefully reviewed, as these factors will determine if pile installations will be successful. The most important of the variables to establish is the expected Soil Res...

ABSTRACT This study presents an investigation of the interaction effect of one loaded pile on a neighboring pile under transient dynamic loadings. Analyses are carried for non homogeneous soils. The hybrid boundary element formulation is used to represent boundary integral representation of soil domain and pile equations represented by linear structural components. The formulation is presented ...

The use of embedded pile elements provides a convenient approach that may save significant modelling time in the simulation of piled foundations. A back-analysis of an Osterberg-cell (O-Cell) load test on a 45 m long pile is presented to illustrate some of the advantages of using structural embedded elements. Comparisons with other modelling approaches for piled-raft foundations have showed goo...

Model tests were carried out in dry silica sand under pile loading and visualizing observation to investigate the behavior of a pile group. The pile group consisted of nine cylindrical model piles of 40 mm in diameter in most tests or three rectangular parallelepiped model piles in the visualizing observation. Pile spacings of 200 mm and 100 mm between pile centers were used in the models. Tact...

The indispensable vital structure in any harbor is a breakwater in order to make available calm water region inshore. Pile breakwater can be employed as a small coastal protection structure where tranquility required is low. This study is concerned with CFD study on the performance of perforated hollow pile to dissipate wave energy and the novelty of this investigation is the role of perforatio...
