Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the soil-arching phenomenon between piles by adopting two different numerical methods: the discrete-element method and the finite-difference method. The discrete-element method, in ...

Abstract: Dynamic penetration tests (DPT) are largely applied for soil in situ characterization. Cone resistance assessment from DPT is usually based on driving formulas derived from Newtonian approach. These are nevertheless often ...
