Abstract: Residual soils are products of chemical weathering and thus their characteristics are dependent upon environmental factors of climate, parent material, topography and drainage, and age. These conditions are optimized in ...

Abstract: An isolated single pile and a large-scale test group of 16 prestressed concrete piles spaced at 3 diameters were subjected to a static lateral loading using a fixed-headed production group for reaction. The foundation ...

Abstract: During the phosphate beneficiation process, substantial quantities of waste clays are produced that are typically disposed of in large impoundment areas. Due to the low permeability and self‐weight of these clay slurries, ...

Abstract: The available literature indicates that pile side shear increases almost linearly with the logarithm of time elapsed after driving, sometimes described using a dimensionless setup factor. A test pile program conducted by ...

Abstract: This paper analyzes the results of a driven pile side shear setup (SSS) test program performed at the University of Florida and described in a companion paper. All pile segments showed SSS, with similar magnitudes in both ...
