Abstract: This paper describes kinematic seismic interaction analysis of square pile groups in homogeneous soil deposits, focusing on bending moments induced by the transient motion. Analyses were performed by means of a three-dimensional ...

Abstract: This paper describes the development and application of design charts for piled embankment designs. It outlines the computational approach adopted, the geotechnical profiles used, and the application of the design procedure ...

Abstract: A simple method is outlined for analyzing the residual stresses in a single pile following driving or jacking and for determining the subsequent axial load‐deformation behavior. It is found that the stiffness of the pile ...

Abstract: A procedure that allows for the influence of the greater soil-mass stiffness between piles is described for calculating group settlement interaction factors. For the calculation of the settlement of a pile due to the ...

Abstract: This paper develops an analysis for the behavior of a single pile or symmetrical pile group in sand under cyclic axial loading. The analysis allows consideration of the effects of degradation of skin friction, base resistance ...

Abstract: This paper develops the idea of a cyclic stability diagram in which the mean and cyclic axial loads on a pile are plotted and three regions are identified: (1) A stable zone in which cyclic loading has no effect on pile ...

Abstract: This paper identifies some of the causes of imperfections in real pile foundations and then examines their possible effects on pile behavior. The imperfections considered arise from two main sources, natural imperfections ...

Abstract: This technical note examines some of the characteristics of behavior of pile groups containing raked piles, via a simplified and hypothetical example. Three cases are examined: (1) a group subjected to vertical and lateral ...
