Abstract: In this paper, the compressive and tensile ultimate bearing capacity of helical piles, in the load range required for designing 63-kV transmission towers, are studied by conducting analytical and numerical investigations. ...

Abstract: In this paper, the axial ultimate bearing capacity of fixed-head concrete energy piles is studied considering various soils and thermomechanical loads, through numerical and analytical models. Accordingly, an axisymmetric ...

Abstract: A new analytical method for investigating the stability of unsaturated soil slopes was developed by considering a 3D failure wedge under different steady-state infiltration and evaporation. In this light, the general limit ...

Abstract: There has been limited research conducted to date on the role and significance of soil parameters in an unsaturated state on the amount of deformation and safety of reinforced deep urban excavations. This study investigates ...

Abstract: To characterize the role of specimen disturbance and structure in the hydromechanical behavior of collapsible soils, two sets of wetting-induced collapse and suction-controlled triaxial tests were conducted on intact and ...

Abstract: The ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations on unsaturated soils is investigated through the concept of suction-dependent effective stress. The first approach is a new analytical solution considering the influence ...

Abstract: Assessing the hydromechanical behavior of collapsible soils is always a challenging topic in an unsaturated soil mechanics context. Although numerous efforts have been made thus far to establish frameworks for explaining ...

Abstract: Aeolian loess deposits are among problematic collapsible soils whose substantial settlements due to the increase in moisture content, stress level, or a combination of both, frequently cause serious structural failures, ...
