Abstract: A method of computing settlement of foundations on weak subsoil deposits reinforced with granular piles is developed. Full‐scale in situ tests on skirted granular piles are carried out at four different sites consisting ...

Abstract: An analysis to predict the critical pullout load, the breakout load, and load‐deformation characteristics of anchors using hyperbolic stress‐strain curves of soils as the constitutive law is proposed. The analysis incorporates ...

Abstract: The influence of surcharge and submersion of sand on the uplift performance of a single helical screw anchor is presented. An experimental investigation is conducted on shallow anchors installed in dense dry and submerged ...

Abstract: A series of triaxial compression tests were carried out on cohesionless soils reinforced with discrete, randomly distributed fibers, both synthetic and natural, to study the influence of fiber characteristics (i.e., weight ...
