Abstract: Model sheet pile wall tests were conducted in sand to investigate the effect of surcharge strip loads on wall behavior. Bending-moment graphs are presented for several values of strip load intensity and distance from the ...

Abstract: A series of tests were carried out on instrumented model piles to investigate the effect of interaction on the axial and lateral responses of piles in clay. The effect of lateral loading proved to be significant on the ...

Abstract: A new numerical method for evaluating the bearing capacity of shallow foundations on layered soil which may contain any combination of cohesive and cohesionless layers is presented. Several potential failure surfaces are ...
