Abstract: A procedure that allows for the influence of the greater soil-mass stiffness between piles is described for calculating group settlement interaction factors. For the calculation of the settlement of a pile due to the ...

Abstract: This paper develops an analysis for the behavior of a single pile or symmetrical pile group in sand under cyclic axial loading. The analysis allows consideration of the effects of degradation of skin friction, base resistance ...

Abstract: This paper identifies some of the causes of imperfections in real pile foundations and then examines their possible effects on pile behavior. The imperfections considered arise from two main sources, natural imperfections ...

Abstract: This technical note examines some of the characteristics of behavior of pile groups containing raked piles, via a simplified and hypothetical example. Three cases are examined: (1) a group subjected to vertical and lateral ...

Abstract: An analysis based on a simplified form of the boundary element method is used to analyze the interaction between a piled raft and a soil subjected to consolidation or expansive movements. The analysis allows for such factors ...

Abstract: An approximate numerical procedure to compute the vertical response of a vertical pile in a linearly elastic homogeneous soil medium in the time domain is presented. The approach combines Novak's concept of energy dissipation ...

Abstract: A brief outline is given of the basis of analysis used in two computer programs, PIGLET and DEFPIG, for analysis of pile group response. A comparison of the capabilities of each program is presented and then a parametric ...
