Abstract: In situ measurements of stresses and pore pressures on a model pile shaft, the Piezo‐Lateral Stress (PLS) cell, are combined with theoretical analyses to reconstruct the conditions of a large‐scale pile load test at a site ...

Abstract: Design charts for performing total stress stability analyses of cohesive slopes subjected to strip loads and square loaded areas are developed. The charts for strip-load provide solutions for different load widths and thus ...

Abstract: New challenges in offshore work have stimulated research in the analysis and design of friction piles. While different concepts have been presented over the last few years for analyzing the behavior of pile shafts, there ...

Abstract: The piezo‐lateral stress (PLS) cell is an in situ testing device that is capable of providing simultaneous measurements of the total horizontal stress, the pore pressure, and the shear stress acting on cylindrical pile ...

Abstract: A method for three-dimensional stability analysis has been developed and applied to 18 case histories of embankment failures. Results show that end effects generally increase the conventional plane strain factor of safety ...

Abstract: The “ideal sampling approach” (ISA) for elucidating, formulating, and predicting minimum disturbance effects in deep tube samples of saturated clays is proposed. The ISA relies on approximate solutions based on the strain ...

Abstract: A new method is proposed for elucidating, formulating, and predicting the axial capacity of friction piles in moderately overconsolidated clays
