Abstract: A brief presentation is given of a previously proposed criterion for long-life fatigue under combined alternating and combined static stress. A new criterion is proposed for long-life fatigue ...

Abstract: Simplified analytical models are developed for the lateral harmonic response of single piles and pile groups in layered soil. Pile-to-soil interplay is represented by a dynamic Winkler formulation based on frequency-dependent ...

Abstract: An analytical solution based on a rod-on-dynamic-Winkler-foundation model is developed for the response of piles in a soil layer subjected to vertical seismic excitation consisting of harmonic compressional waves. Closed-form ...

Abstract: There have been several numerical models developed to represent the phase-averaged flow in the surf zone which is characterized by kD less than unity where k is wave number and D is the water column depth. The classic ...

Abstract: An analytical elastic continuum model is developed for the settlement of end-bearing piles in a two-layer soil over a rigid stratum. The model has its roots in the point-load solution of Westergaard, which was later extended ...
