Abstract: Many factors influence the axial bearing capacity and performance of deep foundations embedded in sand deposits. Among these factors, the installation method is of great importance. The objective of this study was to ...

Abstract: The long-term performance of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars under high levels of sustained load combined with real field conditioning has not yet been thoroughly investigated. Our experimental investigation ...

Abstract: A high number of old buildings are currently being demolished and also volumes of waste are produced every year. The aggregates obtained from construction and demolition waste (CDW) can be exploited as a renewable resource ...

Abstract: Replacing steel reinforcement with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement is an effective solution to avoid the corrosion problem in precast concrete tunnel-lining (PCTL) segments. In addition, using high-strength ...

Abstract: The cone penetration test (CPT) is used as a complementary approach for determining the bearing capacity of piles. Via direct CPT methods for pile capacity prediction, correlation coefficients smaller than unity are used ...
