Abstract: The mechanical behavior and particle breakage of carbonate sand under a simple shear condition are a concern for many engineers. In this study, simple shear tests were carried out under constant-load and constant-volume ...

Abstract: Pile-supported embankments, with advantages of high bearing capacity and effectiveness, have been widely used for constructing embankments on soft ground. The long-term load transfer and cumulative deformation mechanism ...

Abstract: The application of load-transferring mechanism is significant in the design of rigid pile–net composite foundations. A three-dimensional (3D) analytical model is adopted in this paper to analyze the load-transferring ...
