Abstract: The use of p-multipliers in the analysis of the lateral loading behavior of pile groups is based on the concept of modifying the single-pile p-y curve to obtain the p-y curve for a pile in a group. The p-multipliers account ...

Abstract: This engineering educational module on the behavior of piles in soft clays during earthquake loading sought to introduce engineering as a viable career to eighth graders and teach students how geotechnical engineers design ...

Abstract: A series of centrifuge tests were performed to investigate the behavior of laterally loaded pile groups in improved and unimproved soft clay. The soil profile consisted of four lightly overconsolidated clay layers overlying ...

Abstract: Several modes of bridge distress related to interactions with approach roadways have been observed in Oklahoma through routine maintenance inspections. Upon closer review it was found out that there are two main mechanisms ...

Abstract: Thermally induced stresses can build up in rigid pavements without pressure relief joints. The pressure created becomes a problem for adjacent structures such as bridges. The pressure can cause the pavement to push on the ...
