Abstract: A state‐of‐the‐art, three‐dimensional, nonlinear finite element algorithm is developed and used to study piling stresses and pile‐soil interaction in integral abutment bridges. The finite element idealization consists of ...

Abstract: An algorithm based on a nonlinear finite element procedure previously developed by the writers is modified and used to study the effect of thermally induced lateral movement on the vertical loadcarrying capacity of piles ...

Abstract: A state‐of‐the‐art nonlinear finite element algorithm for pile‐soil interaction has been developed and implemented in a modular computer program to study the effects of predrilled oversize holes and layered soils on the ...
