Abstract: A comprehensive strut-and-tie model is a function of the nodes, struts, ties, model types, and pile reaction force. Because each element has more than one solution, the function is a problem of permutations and combinations. ...

Abstract: To better predict the response of laterally loaded caissons and the displacement distribution around the foundations, three different beam theories [Timoshenko beam theory with vertical (z) displacement in soil, Timoshenko ...

Abstract: The two main parameters of grouting volume and grouting pressure are the keys to ensuring the quality of postgrouting. However, there is no equation for predicting the main grouting parameters of long and large-diameter ...

Abstract: This paper establishes an approximate circular cone strain wedge model and proposes an analytical method that can effectively connect practice with theory for the behavior of laterally loaded flexible piles with both ...
