Abstract: This paper describes a simplified hybrid load‐transfer approach for analyzing the response of pile groups under negative skin friction. The response of single piles is evaluated by a discrete‐element approach. The interaction ...

Abstract: This paper describes a simplified hybrid layer approach for settlement analysis of axially loaded pile groups. The shaft and base interactions are considered separately in individual piles in a group. Semianalytical ...

Abstract: This paper presents a total stress hybrid load‐transfer analysis for the response of pile groups in clay under either uniform or irregular cyclic loading. The soil mass may be arbitrarily layered and the nonlinear pile ...

Abstract: A simple and practical approach is presented for the analysis of settlement of large pile groups embedded in an isotropic elastic half‐space with adequate accuracy but without the expense of a complete rigorous analysis. ...

Abstract: In this paper, a method is presented that may be used for the analysis of axially loaded piles in isotropic or cross‐anisotropic soils. The method employs the finite‐layer theory for the analysis of the soil, and because ...

Abstract: This paper describes the results of tests on model instrumented grouted pile shafts installed into beds of an offshore calcareous sand. This calcareous sand was obtained from the North‐West Shelf of Australia, at the site ...

Abstract: A series of model tests on grouted pile shafts in reconstituted calcareous sand is reported, in which the effective stress state is controlled by altering the back pressure in the soil and keeping the total pressure constant. ...
