Abstract: In this study, the effect of pile surface roughness on the lateral load–carrying behavior of piles embedded in sand was investigated. Centrifuge tests were conducted on various model piles with different degrees of surface ...

Abstract: In this study, the resistance factors (RF) in the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) for the drilled-shaft foundation of transmission line structures subjected to lateral loads were investigated. Various load test ...

Abstract: Load and resistance factor design (LRFD) for serviceability limit state (SLS) of laterally loaded drilled shafts was explored for transmission line structures in sand, and the SLS resistance factor (RF) was proposed. ...

Abstract: In this study, the axial and lateral load-carrying behavior of encased micropile (MP) with perforated configuration was investigated. The perforated casing adopted in this study was a casing with holes on the casing surface ...

Abstract: In this study, the effect of fluctuating groundwater level (GWL) on the settlement of footing foundation placed on sand was investigated based on the results obtained from centrifuge tests. In the tests, rising and falling ...

Abstract: Micropiles are an effective option to enhance the load-carrying performance of buildings and infrastructure. In this study, the compressive load capacity and load-carrying mechanism of inclined micropiles in soil and rock ...

Abstract: In this paper, the lateral load-carrying behavior of inclined micropiles installed in various soil–rock layer conditions was investigated based on the results from the model load tests and finite-element analyses. The ...

Abstract: Piled rafts are increasingly used for various structures due to the enhanced load-carrying capabilities of raft and piles combined as a single structural unit. In this study, an experimental testing program using a full-scale, ...
