Abstract: AbstractDriven or jacked foundation elements typically mobilize similar interface shear strengths when loaded in tension and compression, leading to challenges associated with hard installation conditions when the skin ...

Abstract: The response of soil–structure interfaces is of primary importance for the construction and design of infrastructure because all loads, whether static or dynamic, are transferred to the ground through these interfaces. ...

Abstract: This paper presents results from an experimental study on the undrained behavior of sand–structure interfaces subjected to cyclic undrained torsional shearing. The goals of the study are to develop understanding of the ...

Abstract: AbstractSoil penetration is a critical aspect of geotechnical site investigation, sensor installation, and foundation construction that often face challenges due to the large vertical reaction forces required to penetrate ...

Abstract: AbstractThe interface friction angle is an important design parameter in geotechnical engineering applications, such as onshore and offshore foundations, retaining walls, and landfills, necessitating its accurate estimation. ...
