Abstract: Anchor pull-out tests were performed on seven instrumented full-scale low-pressure grouted anchors installed in weathered soil at the Geotechnical Experimentation Site at Sungkyunkwan University. Anchors were 165 mm in ...

Abstract: The beam-column method for the design of tieback walls is of intermediate complexity between the pressure diagram methods and the finite-element method (FEM). A set of recommended

Abstract: This study evaluates the studies by Kim, Yoo, and Yoo and Ha on the sampling of soil moisture to show if their studies are applicable to field experiments. The objective of this study was accomplished by a simulation of ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an analysis of the spatial distribution of the excess pore-water pressure induced by piezocone penetration into overconsolidated clays. From the experimental results obtained for moderately ...

Abstract: This study discusses the new earth retention system with prestressed wales. The prestressed wale provides a high flexural stiffness that resists bending caused by lateral earth pressures. The prestressed wale system consists ...

Abstract: This paper describes the results of a model testing of the piles embedded in Nak-Dong River sand, located in south Korea, under monotonic lateral loadings. A number of features were studied, including the lateral resistance ...
