Abstract: Piled raft foundations are often used when the supporting soil has adequate bearing capacity but the raft settlements exceed allowable values. In traditional practice, long piles with high load capacity are usually used ...

Abstract: An experimental study of the lateral behavior of vertical pile groups embedded in reinforced and nonreinforced sandy earth slopes was carried out. The model tests include studies of group configurations, pile spacing, ...

Abstract: An experimental and numerical study of the behavior of an eccentrically loaded strip footing resting on geosynthetic-reinforced sand is presented. Particular attention was given to simulate footings constructed on unsymmetrical ...

Abstract: An extensive program of laboratory tests was carried out to study the effect of reinforcing an earth slope on the lateral behavior of a single vertical pile located near the slope. Layers of geogrid were used to reinforce ...
