Abstract: In this study, analysis of real-scale field pile loading test results on 20 fully instrumented steel pipe test piles will be carried out, to propose a modified empirical formula to estimate the bearing capacity of the steel ...

Abstract: A fundamental study of pile-soil systems subjected to lateral loads in clay soil was conducted by using experimental tests and a lateral load-transfer approach. The emphasis was on an improved wedge failure model developed ...

Abstract: The load-settlement behavior of rock-socketed drilled shafts under axial loading is investigated by a load-transfer approach. Special attention is given to the shear load-transfer function and an analytical method for ...

Abstract: Liquefied soils are considered as soils devoid of any strength or having only limited strength. Post-liquefaction shear behavior of soil before the drainage of excess pore pressure is important in predicting the immediate ...

Abstract: The load distribution and deformation of drilled shafts subjected to axial loads were evaluated by a load-transfer approach. The emphasis was on quantifying the load-transfer mechanism at the interface between the shafts ...

Abstract: Piled rafts are increasingly used for various structures due to the enhanced load-carrying capabilities of raft and piles combined as a single structural unit. In this study, an experimental testing program using a full-scale, ...
