Abstract: The main causes of soil setup effects on pile response are generation of excess pore water pressure (EPWP) due to installation of prefabricated piles in saturated soils and subsequent dissipation of EPWP and, hence, stress ...

Abstract: Even though the energy pile is known as an efficient dual-purpose system nowadays, the interactive response under simultaneous mechanical and thermal loads requires further investigation. An attempt has been made to evaluate ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the cyclic behavior of a sand-steel interface under constant normal stress and normal stiffness conditions. The experiments were performed by using an ...

Abstract: The rotational failure of backfills and embankments is known to be involved with inhering anisotropic effects resulting from different stress paths along the rotational shear plane. The granulated rubber–sand mixtures have ...

Abstract: Continuous bidirectional shear wave velocity measurements were performed in the vertical (V) and horizontal (H) directions to characterize fabric evolution of triaxial soil specimens during shear, wherein, in addition to ...

Abstract: Recent experimental findings highlight the impact of anisotropic consolidation on triggering flow liquefaction failures. Results of a series of undrained tests on isotropic and anisotropic consolidated Firoozkuh sand are ...

Abstract: The main objective of this study was to investigate the response of uniform sand under constant volume (i.e., undrained) conditions and how it is influenced by the initial anisotropy induced in the soil fabric due to ...
