Abstract: This paper presents the results of a centrifuge model test performed to study the behavior of a plumb-pile-supported wharf under yard-heaped loads. A bent composed of a slab, girders, and six rows of equally spaced plumb ...

Abstract: Soft soil foundations are often encountered in engineering construction. To make the foundation meet the engineering strength and deformation requirements, the soft soil foundation must be treated. Based on bucket foundation ...

Abstract: In-depth investigations into the effect of water saturation on the damage and failure mechanisms of rock have significance for analyzing the stability of the surrounding rock in water-rich rock masses. Uniaxial compression ...

Abstract: The thermal conductivity of soil is an important parameter in many engineering problems involving heat transfer, such as in ground source heat pump systems and freeze-thaw prevention projects. In these projects, not only ...
