Abstract: The use of lime to improve the behavior of marine clays has been in practice in several parts of the world over a long period. In this paper, the beneficial changes occurred in a marine clay due to the diffusion of lime ...

Abstract: Lime has been successfully used as an additive to the soil to improve soil behavior. Cation exchange is considered to be one of the important reactions responsible for the improvement in the soil characteristics. This ...

Abstract: The type of cations present in the adsorbed double layer of any clayey soil can significantly control the soil's compressibility. This technical note examines the influence of exchangeable cations on the compressibility ...

Abstract: There are many onshore and offshore situations where the lateral cyclic loading may affect both the pullout and lateral capacity of pile anchors. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the effect of lateral cyclic ...

Abstract: Currently, helical anchors are being extensively used in the construction of transmission tower foundations, pipelines, and braced excavations. To arrive at the uplift capacity of these anchors, it is necessary to assume ...

Abstract: In this paper, the behavior of helical piles under lateral loads in clayey soils is examined through an experimental investigation on model piles. Tests were conducted on rigid helical piles with different numbers of plates. ...

Abstract: Pile-supported marine structures are designed for significant amounts of lateral load. In this paper, the influence of parameters like flexural rigidity of pile material, embedment length of pile, and arrangement of piles ...

Abstract: Pile-supported dolphins are designed for significant amounts of lateral loads. In this paper, the results obtained from tests carried out on model groups of piles to support dolphin-type structures are presented and ...
