Abstract: The numerical simulation of boundary value problems involving a high number of pile-type structures, such as pile foundation systems of high-rise buildings, represents a standard task in computational geotechnics. Due to ...

Abstract: Most natural soils exhibit a certain degree of soil structure which, in general, leads to increased strength and stiffness properties. However, the mechanical characterization of these soils based on conventional laboratory ...

Abstract: In geotechnical engineering, interference effects caused by the construction of closely spaced footings have a significant influence on the system behavior of each individual footing. As the mutual impact of two footings ...
