Abstract: In situ measurements of stresses and pore pressures on a model pile shaft, the Piezo‐Lateral Stress (PLS) cell, are combined with theoretical analyses to reconstruct the conditions of a large‐scale pile load test at a site ...

Abstract: Design charts for performing total stress stability analyses of cohesive slopes subjected to strip loads and square loaded areas are developed. The charts for strip-load provide solutions for different load widths and thus ...

Abstract: New challenges in offshore work have stimulated research in the analysis and design of friction piles. While different concepts have been presented over the last few years for analyzing the behavior of pile shafts, there ...

Abstract: The piezo‐lateral stress (PLS) cell is an in situ testing device that is capable of providing simultaneous measurements of the total horizontal stress, the pore pressure, and the shear stress acting on cylindrical pile ...

Abstract: A multiplatform simulation of a highway overcrossing bridge is introduced where the embankments, abutments, and pile groups are modeled in a powerful finite-element (FE) package with nonlinear soil material model while the ...

Abstract: In this paper, modeling approaches describing the hysteretic behavior of reinforced-concrete columns subjected to cyclic deformation reversals are investigated. The inelastic flexure and shear response of a reinforced-concrete ...

Abstract: Motivated by the observation that existing damage indices do not take into account the bidirectional and torsional response effects, a new three dimensional damage index is proposed in this paper. The derivation is based ...

Abstract: This paper aims to examine the effectiveness of near-surface-mounted (NSM) glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite rebars in combination with external confinement with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite ...

Abstract: Nonuniform seismic excitation has been shown through previous analytical studies to adversely affect the response of long-span bridge structures. To further understand this phenomenon, this study investigates the response ...
