Abstract: The results of a series of dynamic centrifuge tests on model pile groups in (level) liquefied and laterally spreading soil profiles are presented. The piles are axially loaded at typical working loads, which has enabled ...

Abstract: Remediation schemes for the treatment of liquefiable ground, such as vertical drains, have evolved over the last

Abstract: This research investigates the influence of pile spacing on the dynamic behavior of pile groups by performing a series of specifically designed dynamic centrifuge experiments on pile foundations embedded in a two-layered ...

Abstract: Global warming is causing sea levels to change and increasing the risk of flooding, leading to unexpected changes in the water table. An elevated water table changes the effective soil stresses that support structures, ...

Abstract: Correct evaluation of shear modulus and damping characteristics in soils under dynamic loading is key to both the fundamental understanding of soil behavior and the practical application of soil modeling programs. Dynamic ...

Abstract: Gravity wharf (GW) structures are gaining popularity in new port constructions, as well as expanding existing ports. When such structures are located on saturated alluvial seabed, their seismic performance needs to be ...

Abstract: A series of geotechnical centrifuge tests to investigate the long-term heave behavior of basements in over-consolidated clay was performed, and the profiles of the slab displacement and underslab pressure were measured ...

Abstract: This paper presents the experimental results and analysis from two centrifuge experiments that simulated the seismic response of a gentle slope in soft clay. The two models consisted of a three-degree and a six-degree slope ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results of a series of centrifuge experiments exploring the dynamic response of pile foundations. The model tested in a centrifuge at 50g consisted of an isolated pile and two pile groups embedded ...

Abstract: Despite the popularity of integral bridges, long-term field data are required to better understand the soil strain ratcheting behavior that occurs with thermal cycles. This work presents over 6 years of field data collected ...
