Abstract: Abstract This paper analyzes the effects of loading rate on the axial shaft capacity and stiffness for piles driven in the low-to-medium density chalk, taking advantage of a series of field maintained load (ML) tests. As ...

Abstract: AbstractThe prediction of driving resistances and long-term axial capacities for piles driven in chalk suffers from considerable uncertainty that impacts many offshore and onshore projects. This paper assesses the reliability ...

Abstract: The quality of the Antarctic operational analyses that were distributed over the Global Telecommunications System during the First Regional Observing Study of the Troposphere project special observing period of July 1994 ...

Abstract: AbstractObtaining high-quality undisturbed sand samples remains a challenge. In this paper, a ground freezing for sampling campaign is presented in detail. The campaign, was performed at a sandy–silty research site, known ...
