Abstract: In this study, the seismic stability of a slope containing a laterally loaded pile under seismic conditions is evaluated by the finite-element limit analysis (FELA) approach. The seismic action is idealized as a horizontal ...

Abstract: Due to its near-real-time crowdsourcing nature, social media demonstrates a great potential of rapidly reflecting public opinion during emergency events. However, systematic approaches are still desired to perceive public ...

Abstract: In this paper, the performance of a laterally loaded single pile located in a mountainside was predicted by a modified strain wedge (SW) technique and, in particular, the emphasis is on quantifying pile–soil interactions ...
