Abstract: The behavior of axially loaded piles in layered soil is investigated in terms of effective stresses, using a rigorous elastic load transfer theory. Following the technique of Muki and Sternberg, the problem is decomposed ...

Abstract: Dredged seabed sand and hill‐cut soil are economical fill materials for coastal land reclamation. Wherever these materials are scarce, the possibility of using other available materials such as marine clay should be studied. ...

Abstract: A one‐dimensional wave equation model for pile‐driving analysis is presented. In this model, the pile is represented by discrete elements, while the soil is represented by a series of springs and dashpots, the coefficients ...

Abstract: For many geotechnical projects in both the field and the laboratory, there is a trend toward using automatic data acquisition systems to collect information. This usually leads to the generation of a large volume of data, ...

Abstract: Prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) normally consist of a core and a filter (sleeve) made with polymeric materials. Modern installation rigs are capable of installing them at considerable speed in soft soil deposits. This ...
