Abstract: Natural polymers (biopolymers) are discussed as environmentally friendly and sustainable grouting chemicals. This paper presents guidelines for selecting potentially useful biopolymers for strengthening cohesionless soil. ...

Abstract: Monopiles are the most commonly used foundation type for offshore wind turbine (OWT) structures and are characterized by relatively large geometric dimensions, compared with offshore pile foundations typically used in the ...

Abstract: The paper presents the results of a series of field tests performed to study the causes of friction fatigue experienced by displacement piles. Four instrumented model piles were installed at a dense sand test-bed site. The ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to determine necessary and sufficient conditions under which both discrete and continuous damped linear dynamic systems possess classical normal modes.

Abstract: This paper presents the results from an experimental investigation designed to examine the effect of soil-core development and cyclic loading on the shaft resistance developed by open-ended piles in sand. An instrumented ...

Abstract: The inclusion of granular columns in soft clay deposits leads to improvements in bearing capacity and overall stiffness, along with a reduction in consolidation settlement. Many laboratory investigations have focused on ...

Abstract: The contractive behavior and flow failure in saturated binary granular soils have been studied by many as functions of their physical properties [gradation, mean particle size, fines content (FC), and packing quality] and ...
