Abstract: In this study, the effect of load application point (zp) on the load capacity (Qu) of helical anchors under inclined loading condition was investigated. For this purpose, coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian finite element analyses ...

Abstract: Estimation of spudcan penetration resistance is an important design step to guarantee the stability and functionality of offshore mobile jack-up units. Dependence on in situ penetrometer test data to evaluate the stratigraphy ...

Abstract: In this study, the uplift load-carrying capacity of micropiles was investigated, focusing on the effect of various installation conditions including installation angle (θ), spacing (S), and group configuration. For this ...

Abstract: In this paper, state-dependent elastic characteristics of granular subgrade materials were investigated, assuming various field conditions. For this purpose, a series of resonant column tests were conducted. The test ...

Abstract: In the present paper, the estimation of limit unit bearing capacity

Abstract: The settlement of foundations under working load conditions is an important design consideration. Well‐designed foundations induce stress‐strain states in the soil that are neither in the linear elastic range nor in the ...

Abstract: In this study, the effect of pile surface roughness on the lateral load–carrying behavior of piles embedded in sand was investigated. Centrifuge tests were conducted on various model piles with different degrees of surface ...

Abstract: In this study, the resistance factors (RF) in the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) for the drilled-shaft foundation of transmission line structures subjected to lateral loads were investigated. Various load test ...

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 ...
