Abstract: The steelmaking industry in the United States generates 9–16 million metric tons of steel slag every year. The excess steel slag (

Abstract: Most of the current design methods for driven piles were developed for closed-ended pipe piles driven in either pure clay or clean sand. These methods are sometimes used for H piles as well, even though the axial load ...

Abstract: This paper reviews the energy-based solutions that have been proposed for boundary value problems involving pile foundations subjected to lateral loads and presents semianalytical solutions that are applicable to both ...

Abstract: This paper presents a semianalytical solution for axially loaded pile groups in multilayered, linear-elastic soil profiles. The piles in the group can have circular, square, or rectangular cross sections. The soil displacement ...

Abstract: Class F fly ash and bottom ash are the solid residue byproducts produced by coal-burning electric utilities. They are usually disposed of together as a waste in utility disposal sites with a typical disposal rate of 80% ...

Abstract: Because only limited research has been done on base geometry effects on pile base resistance, design methods used in practice for full-displacement, partial-displacement, and nondisplacement piles in sand do not consider ...

Abstract: Schmertmann’s method is one of the traditional methods for estimating the settlement of axially loaded footings in sand using cone penetration test (CPT) data. The method was developed for footings on a single, uniform ...

Abstract: The shear strength and stiffness characteristics of steel slag indicate that it can potentially be utilized as a competent base/subbase material of bound and unbound pavement layers. However, concerns with respect to the ...
