Abstract: A series of centrifuge model tests was conducted to investigate the behavior of pile groups of various sizes and configurations behind a retaining wall in very soft clay. With a 1.2-m excavation in front of the wall, which ...

Abstract: A series of centrifuge model tests has been conducted to investigate the behavior of a single pile behind a retaining wall that eventually fails due to soil excavation in front of the wall. All the piles are located at

Abstract: A series of centrifuge model tests have been conducted to evaluate the vertical and horizontal displacements of a gravity caisson supported on sandkey under construction and service loads. In-flight simulation of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of centrifuge model tests on unstrutted deep excavation in dense sand and its influence on an adjacent single pile foundation behind the retaining wall. It is found that, in the case of a ...

Abstract: A pile group consisting of four cast-in-place concrete piles was instrumented to measure the induced bending moment along the piles due to excavation of an adjacent slope. The green field lateral soil movement profiles and ...
