Abstract: Pile installation leads to significant changes in soil state (i.e., void ratio and effective stress) around the pile, which affects stiffness and bearing capacity. Currently, the driveability of piles is analyzed using ...

Abstract: A constitutive model formulated within the multilaminate framework is described in this paper. The basic model, incorporating deviatoric and volumetric hardening, was developed for normally consolidated or slightly ...

Abstract: Climate change is expected to alter statistics of extreme events in the future. Adapting geotechnical infrastructure to a changing climate necessitates quantitative assessment of the potential climate change impacts on the ...
