Abstract: To evaluate the uplift behavior of anchors installed by the blade underreaming system, a numerical model for anchors in silty sand has been developed in this study and the calculated results are compared to the results of ...

Abstract: Since different undrained shear strengths may be obtained from different laboratory or field tests, different cone factors are needed to calculate the undrained shear strengths from the results of a piezocone test in clay. ...

Abstract: In this paper we present monitored results of three tied-back excavations carried out in the alluvial soil of Taipei. All three cases involved large excavations and were supported by a diaphragm wall and multilevel tieback ...

Abstract: Base stability of a deep excavation in clay is affected not only by soil properties such as soil strength and strength anisotropy, but also by several construction factors, such as the stiffness and depth of the excavation ...

Abstract: Based on the full-scale test results of 29 shaft anchors installed in the silty alluvial soil of the Taipei basin, the anchorage behaviors of anchors having two different types of tendon assemblies, namely the singly ...
