ASCE ( American Society of Civil Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 150,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment.

Field Behavior of Driven Prestressed High-Strength Concrete Piles in Sandy Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Driven piles are used widely both offshore and onshore. However, accurate axial capacity and load-displacement prediction is difficult at sand-dominated sites, and offshore practice is moving towards cone penetration test ...
Mechanisms of Shaft Friction in Sand from Instrumented Pile Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Comprehensive measurements of the effective stresses developed during the installation, equalization, and load testing of displacement piles in a loose to medium dense quartz sand are presented. The results shed new light ...
Effects of Time on Capacity of Pipe Piles in Dense Marine Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Investigations into pile behavior in dense marine sand have been performed by the Institut Français du Pétrole and Imperial College at Dunkirk, northern France. In the most recent series of tests, strain-gauged, open-ended ...
Axial Capacity of Offshore Piles in Dense North Sea Sands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: After describing the predominantly dense sand site conditions encountered in the Leman field of the southern North Sea, attention is focused on a 38.1-m long, 660-mm-diameter steel pipe conductor driven from the Leman BD ...

Large Deformation Finite-Element Simulation of Displacement-Pile Installation Experiments in Sand
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Displacement piles are driven to support a wide range of structures. Predicting their axial limiting capacities and load-displacement behavior is critical to many such engineering applications. Although field load tests ...
Undrained Cyclic Response of K0–Consolidated Stiff Cretaceous Clay under Wheel Loading Conditions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Optimal whole life design for railways, highways, runways, and metro lines requires an accurate assessment of how their underlying geomaterials respond to large numbers of wheel-loading cycles. This paper presents an ...
