Abstract: The behavior of step tapered bored piles in sand, under static lateral loading, was examined by field tests at one site in Kuwait. A total of 14 bored piles including two instrumented piles were installed for lateral ...

Abstract: The lateral load‐deflection response of bored piles in cemented sands was examined by field tests on single piles, and on small groups consisting of two piles. All 12 piles were 0.3 m in diameter and had a length of 3 m ...

Abstract: The skin friction mobilized along the shaft of driven precast concrete piles in dense calcareous sands was determined by field tests on two piles at one site in Kuwait. The results are compared with data obtained from tests ...

Abstract: The ultimate oblique pull of bored piles in sand was examined by a field testing program. Tests included axial uplift tests, lateral load tests, and oblique tests at an angle of 30° with the pile axis. The piles used were ...

Abstract: The ultimate bearing capacity of short, precast concrete piles driven into calcareous sands was examined by pile-load tests carried out at two sites in Kuwait. The piles had a 0.3 m × 0.3 m square cross section and extended ...
