Abstract: Large structures, such as offshore platforms, wind turbine foundations, wide buildings, bridges, and railway granular embankments, are often supported by pile foundations. These structures are usually subjected to large ...

Abstract: Installing stone columns is a convenient method of soft ground improvement. Although several analytical and numerical solutions are available to predict the performance of stone column–improved soft ground, these models ...

Abstract: Installing stone columns is a convenient method of soft ground improvement. Although several analytical and numerical solutions are available to predict the performance of stone column–improved soft ground, these models ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an efficient hybrid approach for analysis of the responses of piled-raft foundations subjected to coupled loads (combination of vertical loads, horizontal loads, and moments) in layered soils. The ...

Abstract: Rheological characteristics are one of most important properties needed to be considered in the design and construction for the long-term stability and serviceability of underground structures in the rock mass. To date, ...

Abstract: Soft-soil reinforcement with stone columns is a popular ground improvement method. Installation of columns modifies the surrounding soft soil properties; this phenomenon is termed “smear.” Although several previous ...

Abstract: Ground vibrations initiated by the passage of vehicles in public transport infrastructure including railways and highways are likely to produce an adverse influence on adjacent structures. Under extreme conditions, this ...

Abstract: Mitigating the ground vibration initiated by the passage of trains to safeguard the surrounding structures is a challenge for geotechnical engineers. Among various existing methods, open trenches are one of the most common ...
