Abstract: This note presents a method for predicting nonlinear response of pile groups in clays, subjected to vertical loads. The method is based on mobilizable strength design (MSD) concepts, in which the mobilized strength is ...

Abstract: Conventional semiempirical predictive models for seismically induced slope displacement (D) are generally developed based on as-recorded orthogonal ground motion components. Considering orthogonal records reveals that the ...

Abstract: This study investigated the behavior of a 38-m deep twin circular peanut-shaped cofferdam interconnected with a rectangular section for cut-and-cover tunnel construction using distributed fiber-optic sensors (DFOSs) based ...
