Abstract: The finite element computer program RDPIL.FOR for laterally loaded piles in a viscoelastic layered soil is developed. The program uses a Maxwell model to accommodate the initial elastic subgrade modulus, which is independent ...

Abstract: Finite-element simulations using a large-strain thaw-consolidation model, formulated by the writers, are presented and compared with the data obtained from a warm-oil test pipeline at Inuvik, Northwest Territory, Canada. ...

Abstract: The approach for designing a single vertically and laterally loaded pile rests primarily on the local moment capacity and on the overall instability of the pile section. Design codes generally recommend interaction formulas ...

Abstract: The analysis and design of buried chilled pipelines in frost heaving soils warrants a study of the complex pipe‐soil interaction. Stress gradients are generated at the interface between frozen and unfrozen ground because ...

Abstract: This paper describes a study undertaken at Umiujaq, in northern Québec, on laterally loaded piles in permafrost subject to a constant displacement rate. Test results of bending moments, shear load, soil reaction, and pile ...
