Abstract: The behavior of axially loaded piles in layered soil is investigated in terms of effective stresses, using a rigorous elastic load transfer theory. Following the technique of Muki and Sternberg, the problem is decomposed ...

Abstract: The identification of key factors for construction project success enables appropriate allocation of limited resources. Most of the related past work only identified critical success factors for construction projects in ...

Abstract: A numerical procedure is presented for the settlement analysis of group piles that penetrate an upper soil layer to socket into a firm bearing stratum of finite stiffness. An extensive parametric study is carried out to ...

Abstract: A neural network approach is used to identify the key management factors that affect budget performance in a project. Field data of project performance has been used to build the budget performance model. This approach ...
