Abstract: This paper describes an experimental investigation designed to assess the impact of pile end condition on the capacity of piles installed in soft clay. A series of field tests are described in which instrumented open-ended ...

Abstract: Offshore piles are subjected to complex loading regimes that include both rapidly applied static and cyclic loads. This paper describes an experimental investigation conducted to assess the factors influencing the response ...

Abstract: In recent years, there has been a significant push to develop optimized pile designs in the offshore industry, driven by the growth of offshore wind. One of the largest remaining uncertainties governing axial pile design ...

Abstract: There are clear advantages in the establishment of reliable, direct cone penetration test (CPT) based methods for assessment of the axial capacity of driven piles. These advantages motivated the formation of a joint industry ...
