Abstract: A numerical method is presented for the analysis of general three‐dimensional pile groups. The features of the pile‐group model may include battered piles, different pile sizes, non‐uniform pile sections, soil nonlinearity, ...

Abstract: A numerical method of analysis is presented to study the behavior of vertically loaded pile groups embedded in a nonhomogencous soil with the pile caps in contact with the ground. The considered soil profiles consist of ...

Abstract: A series of centrifuge model tests was conducted to investigate the behavior of pile groups of various sizes and configurations behind a retaining wall in very soft clay. With a 1.2-m excavation in front of the wall, which ...

Abstract: To study the statistics of the settlement of pile foundations, the uncertainty in the Young's modulus of the soil must first be estimated. This paper considers the practical aspects of estimating the uncertainty in the ...

Abstract: A series of centrifuge model tests has been conducted to investigate the behavior of a single pile behind a retaining wall that eventually fails due to soil excavation in front of the wall. All the piles are located at

Abstract: A series of centrifuge model tests has been conducted to investigate the behavior of a single pile subjected to excavation-induced soil movements behind a stable retaining wall in clay. The results reveal that after the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a practical method that can be used to evaluate the settlement of pile groups. This method is developed based on variational solutions for pile groups embedded in soil modeled using a load-transfer curve ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of centrifuge model tests on unstrutted deep excavation in dense sand and its influence on an adjacent single pile foundation behind the retaining wall. It is found that, in the case of a ...
