Abstract: The nonlinear response of shallow foundations has been studied experimentally and analytically. However, the engineering community is not yet convinced of the applicability of such concepts in practice. A key prerequisite ...

Abstract: This paper uses a hybrid method for analysis and design of slope stabilizing piles that was developed in a preceding paper by the writers. The aim of this paper is to derive insights about the factors influencing the ...

Abstract: Piles are extensively used as a means of slope stabilization. Despite the rapid advances in computing and software power, the design of such piles may still include a high degree of conservatism, stemming from the use of ...
