Abstract: The prediction of the pile response near a slope has not been fully explored and remains challenging for designers. In this study, an experimental investigation is planned to explore the behavior of laterally loaded pile ...

Abstract: This study aims to predict the effect of liquefaction on an embankment resting on liquefiable foundation soil. A numerical model has been simulated in PLAXIS 2D with plane strain idealization. An effective stress–based ...

Abstract: Liquefaction-induced ground displacements resulting from earthquake shaking are a major cause of damage to earth structures comprised of, or underlain by, loose saturated granular soils. The present paper describes the ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) finite-element program has been developed for the dynamic analysis of pile groups. Soil and pile media have been discretized into 3D isoparametric continuum elements. To simulate the stress transfer ...

Abstract: Installation of a stone column in loose soil is one of the robotics ground enhancement techniques that reduce the risk liquefaction and related ground deformation. However, the experimental investigation is costly and it ...

Abstract: A vertical cut reinforced with inclined nails subjected to seismic loading was analyzed using the modified pseudodynamic approach, assuming a log-spiral failure surface. A novel calculus-based methodology has been devised ...

Abstract: The granular anchor pile (GAP) system is one of the relatively new innovative ground-improvement techniques used to sustain the tensile loads. This paper presents the behavior of a GAP system in a loose sandy soil. The ...
