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...

in this paper, pile behavior embedded in layered soil deposits subjected to seismic loadings is analyzed using a nonlinear fiber element for simulation of soil – pile interactions. in the created model, both pile and surrounding soil are modeled using fiber elements in a practical beam on nonlinear winkler foundation (bnwf) concept. herein, the features of drain–3dx finite element software are ...

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...

impact pile driving is a multi-component problem which is associated to multi-directional ground vibrations. at first, vibration is transferred from the hammer to the pile and then to the common interface of pile and soil. this is then transferred to the environment and has great impact on the adjacent structures, causing disturbance to residents and also damage to the buildings. it is of high ...

numerous techniques have been presented by different researchers to analyze piled raft. in order to analyze pile foundation, soil can be modeled as spring, continuous medium, or porous media. pile can also be modeled as spring or continuous medium. this study includes three main stages: a short description of different types of analysis methods of pile foundation, writing a computer program bas...
