Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Uplift Capacity of Membrane-Confined Stem-Grouted Piles

Abstract

Abstract Conventional deep foundations with high uplift resistance, such as enlarged base/belled/underreamed piles, pose significant challenges in terms of quality control and assurance. Specifically, the collapse of enlarged/reamed zones during the ... Practical Applications Foundations supporting tall lightweight structures, such as chimneys, windmills, transmission towers, and marine structures, are subjected to large uplift forces due to wind loads, line tension, wave action, etc. Enlarged base/...
