Abstract: Schemes for the disposal of medium to high level atomic waste involve placing the spent material in repositories deep within stable rock formations. The waste will continue to generate heat ...

Abstract: In this paper, a method is presented that may be used for the analysis of axially loaded piles in isotropic or cross‐anisotropic soils. The method employs the finite‐layer theory for the analysis of the soil, and because ...

Abstract: This article presents a new method of analysis of piled raft foundations in contact with the soil surface. The soil is divided into multiple horizontal layers depending on the accuracy of solution required and each layer ...

Abstract: Differential settlements often occur between bridge abutments and the approach embankments either because the soil underlying the embankment consolidates or because the pavement and embankment materials are compressible ...

Abstract: This paper extends the design philosophy for piled rafts by exploring the factors that control the design of a published case history where the piled raft was instrumented. The case history studied differs from most published ...
