Abstract: Project delivery is often subject to uncertainties and disruptions throughout the entire process. The ability of project delivery to resist and recover from disruptions is a measure of the resilience of the process, which ...

Abstract: Highway project delivery is a disruption-prone process in which resilience is essential to project success, because different project stages experience disruptions and struggle to reach desired project outcomes. A process ...

Abstract: This paper reviews the energy-based solutions that have been proposed for boundary value problems involving pile foundations subjected to lateral loads and presents semianalytical solutions that are applicable to both ...

Abstract: This paper focus on parameter identification of the main cables of cable suspension structures. Based on the dynamic stiffness theory, an inverse analysis characteristic function (IAC function) for identifying the main ...

Abstract: Pile response in unsaturated soils is an area of interest due to its prevalence in real-world scenarios. Significant differences exist in the lateral behavior of single piles in partially saturated soils due to increased ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a static load test (SLT) and two dynamic load tests (DLTs) performed on a closed-ended steel pipe pile (CEP) with an outer diameter B=610  mm (24 in.) driven into a gravelly-sand ...

Abstract: When subjected to axial loading, the response of a pile in a pile group is different from that of an isolated single pile, all other factors being the same. Three-dimensional finite-element analyses were performed to study ...

Abstract: Most of the existing design methods for laterally loaded monopiles were developed for uniform soil profiles. The application of such design methods in cases involving layered sand profiles can lead to incorrect capacity ...
