Abstract: Various multimegawatt capacity offshore wind turbines (OWTs) are constructed globally to fulfill increasing energy demand. Many of these structures have already been and will continue to be constructed in seismically active ...

Abstract: This article outlines the long-term dynamic behavior of the monopile-supported offshore wind turbine (OWT) in clay. A three-dimensional (3D) finite-element (FE) model was developed that uses viscoelastic material constitutive ...

Abstract: The present study proposes a procedure to determine partial factors in reliability based design format for pile foundations, considering bias as well as uncertainty in the parameters that represent soil-pile interaction. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the response of piles in liquefiable soil under seismic loads. The effects of soil, pile, and earthquake parameters on the two potential pile failure mechanisms, bending and buckling, are examined. The ...

Abstract: Combined piled raft foundation (CPRF) is an effective solution for supporting high-rise constructions. The traditional design philosophy of CPRF does not consider the capacity of foundation based on combined vertical (V), ...

Abstract: With the recent upsurge in the construction of new ballasted railway tracks and their maintenance, the high requirement of ballast and subballast materials has become an important challenge. The use of industrial by-products ...

Abstract: On January 3, 2017, adjoining states of Tripura and Bangladesh witnessed a moderate earthquake of a magnitude of 5.7 (Mwb) originating in the Dhalai district of Tripura with an intensity of IV to VI in Modified Mercalli ...
