Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for predicting the mobilized response of axially loaded piles in sands in the states of pre-liquefaction and post-liquefaction. The proposed procedure calculates shaft and skin resistance ...

Abstract: A general approach has been established to assess the undrained stress-strain curve and effective stress path under monotonic loading from drained triaxial tests. An appropriate formulation of a drained and drained rebounded ...

Abstract: This paper provides a new analysis procedure for assessing the lateral response of an isolated pile in saturated sands as liquefaction develops in response to dynamic loading such as that generated during earthquake shaking. ...

Abstract: A mechanism analysis of shear failure of simply supported reinforced concrete deep beams is presented. Concrete and steel reinforcement are modeled as rigid perfectly plastic materials. The failure modes are idealized as ...

Abstract: With the widespread use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in the construction sector as a strengthening technique, the development of design guidelines for the field application of externally bonded FRP systems ...
