Abstract: The performance of three-dimensional (3D) cellular confinement over a geotextile-encased group of stone columns subjected to static loading was studied with the help of experimental and numerical studies. Laboratory tests ...

Abstract: Helical piles are commonly used as foundations under electrical transmission towers, bridge abutments, highway signs, and light poles. The present experimental investigation focused on the lateral resistance of vertical ...

Abstract: Laboratory model tests were conducted on an aluminum model pile embedded on a crest of soft clay. The slope angle and L/D ratio (L = embedded length, D = diameter of pile) were varied, and the pile was subjected to lateral ...

Abstract: Offshore wind turbines (OWTs) are used as renewable energy sources to generate electricity. Offshore, wind, and wave loads act as transverse loads on these turbines. Furthermore, the topography of the ocean is not always ...
