Abstract: The research reported is concerned with the load transfer behavior of rock‐socketed bored piles. Several large‐diameter instrumented piles were load tested to at least twice their working/design loads. The piles were ...

Abstract: The stress displacement behavior of vertical anchor plates and continuous anchor walls in dense sand when subjected to horizontal pull‐out forces is presented. Results of a large number of centrifugal tests on 1 in. (25 ...

Abstract: Design methods for vertical anchors subjected to horizontal pullout forces are reviewed. Theoretical predictions are compared with results from conventional tests on 2 in. (50 mm) models and centrifugal tests representing ...

Abstract: The research reported is concerned with the behavior of precast reinforced concrete piles driven through soft marine clay and founded in residual soil and weathered rock of sedimentary origin; to study the load‐transfer ...
