Abstract: Pile installation leads to significant changes in soil state (i.e., void ratio and effective stress) around the pile, which affects stiffness and bearing capacity. Currently, the driveability of piles is analyzed using ...

Abstract: A series of plate loading tests on clay has been conducted in the centrifuge. The aim of the tests is to create a data set, which is freely downloadable, to validate numerical tools that account for geometrical nonlinearities. ...

Abstract: Flowslides and retrogressive slope failures are usually triggered from a significant drop of shear strength in loose coarse-grained materials, including static liquefaction and successive large deformations. A 4-step ...
