Abstract: This paper describes a fundamental experimental study on the vertical, horizontal, and rocking dynamic behavior of single pile foundations in granular soils. Aimed at generating an extensive experimental database with ...

Abstract: For tackling high-gradient, localized, or singular boundary value problems, the concept of an adaptive-gradient (AG) element family is introduced to advance the utility of discretization methods. Capable of encompassing ...

Abstract: A half-scale field test was conducted on a pile group installed at a stiff clay site. The pile group consisted of eight steel H-piles, with a battered pile at each corner, and connected to a precast pile cap using preformed ...

Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to identify the most appropriate rehabilitation method for composite pavements and to evaluate the influence of different factors for the reflective crack development in composite pavement ...
