Abstract: As a common natural phenomenon in clayey soil, drought-induced desiccation cracks impose danger to soil structures by degrading soil mechanical strength and hydraulic properties. In this study, through a series of field ...

Abstract: This paper examines the effect of lattice leg–soil interaction on the horizontal force and bending moment on deeply embedded lattice legs of jack-up rigs in soft clay. Centrifuge model tests results showed that there is ...
