Abstract: Dynamic response of a railway embankment to a high-speed train is simulated for two cases: the soft ground is improved by cast–in situ concrete pipe (PCC) piles, and the soft ground is not improved. The obtained results ...

Abstract: Large-diameter cast-in-place concrete pipe (PCC) pile is widely used for pile foundation and pile-supported embankment over soft clay in China. However, studies on PCC pile-soil reactions (

Abstract: This paper presents a constitutive model for simulating the stress–strain behavior of overconsolidated structured soils. The model extends the scope of a previous 10-parameter constitutive model proposed by the authors for ...
