Abstract: This research investigates the influence of pile spacing on the dynamic behavior of pile groups by performing a series of specifically designed dynamic centrifuge experiments on pile foundations embedded in a two-layered ...

Abstract: Gravity wharf (GW) structures are gaining popularity in new port constructions, as well as expanding existing ports. When such structures are located on saturated alluvial seabed, their seismic performance needs to be ...

Abstract: A series of geotechnical centrifuge tests to investigate the long-term heave behavior of basements in over-consolidated clay was performed, and the profiles of the slab displacement and underslab pressure were measured ...

Abstract: This paper presents the experimental results and analysis from two centrifuge experiments that simulated the seismic response of a gentle slope in soft clay. The two models consisted of a three-degree and a six-degree slope ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results of a series of centrifuge experiments exploring the dynamic response of pile foundations. The model tested in a centrifuge at 50g consisted of an isolated pile and two pile groups embedded ...

Abstract: Monopiles are the favored foundation type for offshore wind turbines due to a relatively simple design and installation process. This paper investigates using coupled three-dimensional finite-element analysis the ...

Abstract: Despite the popularity of integral bridges, long-term field data are required to better understand the soil strain ratcheting behavior that occurs with thermal cycles. This work presents over 6 years of field data collected ...

Abstract: In recent decades, research on renewable energy has been boosted by the emerging awareness of energy security and climate change and their consequences, such as the global cost of adapting to the climate impacts. Both ...
