Abstract: Research performed on pile foundations installed over sloping ground has consistently reported a reduction in the lateral load capacity. Therefore, identifying ideal solutions for the related circumstances is imperative. ...

Abstract: Use of pervious concrete piles is a ground improvement technique to improve soft soil’s load-bearing capacity by accelerating radial consolidation. With improved stiffness, pervious concrete piles perform well even under ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a laboratory study on evaluating the behavior of highly expansive clay that was treated with copper slag and lime under static and cyclic loading. The copper slag, obtained as a by-product ...

Abstract: Pile foundations are usually used when heavy superstructural loads have to be transmitted through weaker subsoil. Piles are also subjected to significant amounts of lateral loads and overturning moments besides axial loads. ...

Abstract: Laboratory model tests were conducted on an aluminum model pile embedded on a crest of soft clay. The slope angle and L/D ratio (L = embedded length, D = diameter of pile) were varied, and the pile was subjected to lateral ...
