This article presents a numerical model and analyses of the dynamic response structures supported by groups piles. The uses finite element discretization to represent arbitrarily-shaped structures, coupled finite-boundary scheme embedded pile group. properly takes into account energy transferred from structure piles between through soil, so that effect pile-soil-pile interaction in can be studi...

Several authors have written papers dealing with a class of combinatorial games consisting of one-pile and two-pile counter pickup games for which the maximum number of counters that can be removed on each move changes during the play of the game. See Holshouser [8],[7], and Flanigan [4]. The maximum number of counters that can be removed can depend upon a number of factors including the number...

The integrity of cast-in-place foundation piles is a major concern in geotechnical engineering. In this study, distributed fibre optic sensing (DFOS) cables, embedded in a pile during concreting, are used to measure the changes in concrete curing temperature profile to infer concrete cover thickness through modelling of heat transfer processes within the concrete and adjacent ground. A field tr...

Dynamic response records of pile performance during earthquakes are limited mainly due to the challenges recording seismic soil–pile response. This limitation has led an inadequacy in providing a standardized basis for calibration and validation available analytical numerical methods developed superstructure interaction problems. To bridge this gap, series simulations scaled, shaking table test...

It is reported that the inclined pile could be either beneficial or detrimental for abutment they support in condition of liquefaction—induced lateral displacement. To clarify effect on seismic response bridge abutments undergoing displacement, numerical analyses were carried out damaged was supported by piles and displaced riverwards 100 mm–150 mm due to soil liquefaction during 2011 Great Eas...
