In this study, peak particle velocity (PPV) values for driving three piles with diameters of 40 cm, 50 and 70 cm in a clayey soil through the impact piling method are investigated by an experimental study numerical simulation. An is carried out on scale 1:20 operation. Numerical simulation performed using axisymmetric model PLAXIS 2D finite element software. Properties used obtained from geotec...

Vibratory pile diving with resonance-free technique is an advanced construction approach that can play important part in underground engineering. This paper aims to propose a numerical model for this approach, which commonly involves soils below the groundwater table. Such simulations are still challenging tasks as dynamic analyses considering hydro-mechanical interactions very complicated. Sev...

this research examines the behavior of soil-reinforced piles and applied loads based on the analytical method and by using the numerical results of flac3d software for comparison with the analytical results. the analysis was based on a method called virtual retaining wall, the following into consideration: an imaginary retaining wall that passes the footing edge the bearing capacity of footing ...

Many offshore structures are subjected to overturning moments due to wind load, wave pressure, and ship impacts. Also most of retaining walls are subjected to horizontal forces and bending moments, these forces are due to earth pressure. For foundations in such structures, usually a combination of vertical and batter piles is used. Little information is available in the literature about estimat...

In December 2005 construction work was started to replace a harbor wall in Kerteminde harbor, Denmark. A total of 175 wooden piles were piled into the ground at the waters edge over a period of 3 months. During the same period three harbor porpoises were housed in a marine mammal facility on the opposite side of the harbor. All animals showed strong avoidance reactions after the start of the pi...
