Abstract: Many forensic studies conducted after catastrophic earthquakes revealed severe damages to pile foundations caused by bedrock fault movement. The mechanism behind these pile foundation failures is not yet fully understood. ...

Abstract: Vegetation reduces soil pore-water pressure (PWP) through root water uptake. There are limited studies about the effects of vegetation on PWP distributions in layered soil, such as multilayered earthen landfill cover. New ...

Abstract: A 267-m-long, 54-m-wide, and 14.9–16.4-m-deep multipropped deep excavation with three cross walls in Shanghai soft clay was constructed at a side of an existing metro station. To investigate the performance of this deep ...

Abstract: This paper reports a field study on the downdrag and dragload of two pairs of bored piles installed in consolidating ground in the Zhejiang coastal area, China. During and after the construction of a 2.5-m-high embankment, ...
