Abstract: Methods for the estimation of groundwater level (GWL) are often based on knowledge- and data-based approaches, which are largely affected by the representativeness of input parameters and the quantity and quality of ...

Abstract: In this study, the coefficient of lateral earth pressure at rest (K0) for sand subject to freezing and thawing was investigated, focusing on the effect of pore water volume. Unfrozen (UF), frozen (FR), and thawed (TH) ...

Abstract: In this study, the axial and lateral load-carrying behavior of encased micropile (MP) with perforated configuration was investigated. The perforated casing adopted in this study was a casing with holes on the casing surface ...

Abstract: In this study, the effect of fluctuating groundwater level (GWL) on the settlement of footing foundation placed on sand was investigated based on the results obtained from centrifuge tests. In the tests, rising and falling ...

Abstract: Micropiles are an effective option to enhance the load-carrying performance of buildings and infrastructure. In this study, the compressive load capacity and load-carrying mechanism of inclined micropiles in soil and rock ...

Abstract: In this paper, the lateral load-carrying behavior of inclined micropiles installed in various soil–rock layer conditions was investigated based on the results from the model load tests and finite-element analyses. The ...

Abstract: Piled rafts are increasingly used for various structures due to the enhanced load-carrying capabilities of raft and piles combined as a single structural unit. In this study, an experimental testing program using a full-scale, ...
