Abstract: Batter piles are often designed as foundation of high-rise structures to resist large lateral loads. The sizeable overturning moment of the superstructure will be transferred to the foundation so that batter piles are ...

Abstract: The angle of repose (AoR) of sediments is an important parameter in the hydraulics of sediment transport. This study investigated the AoR (ϕ) of submerged cohesive sediments using a tilting plane. The results indicate that ...

Abstract: The efficiency of dredging, whether with a cutter suction dredger or hydraulic flushing, is closely related to the erodibility of the sediments. It is found that the erodibility of cohesive sediments, which is affected by ...
