Closure to “Bearing Capacity of Piled Rafts on Soft Clay Soils” by Luca de Sanctis and Alessandro Mandolini
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Bearing Capacity of Piled Rafts on Soft Clay Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The conventional design of a piled foundation is based on a bearing capacity approach, and neglects the contribution of the raft. As a consequence, piled foundations are usually designed by overconservative criteria. With ...
Analytical Solutions for Ultimate Limit State Design of Thermal Piles
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This work aimed at providing analytical closed-form solutions for the design of thermal piles. To this end, a model in which a cylindrical pile is attached along the shaft to a series of distributed vertical springs ...
3M Analytical Method: Evaluation of Shaft Friction of Bored Piles in Sands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents 3M, an analytical method to estimate the skin friction of bored piles in sands. It is based on the fundamental mechanic behavior of sands and keeps track of the major mechanisms occurring in the soil ...
Analytical Solutions for Lateral Bearing Capacity of Piles in Nonhomogeneous Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In routine design, the lateral bearing capacity of a single pile is commonly evaluated using analytical expressions which are derived under the hypothesis of rigid-plastic behavior of both the foundation soil and the pile ...
