Abstract: Abstract The present study utilizes the coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian finite-element modeling technique to simulate three-dimensional piles with true helices in sand under axial compression. The aim is to develop a numerical ...

Abstract: Uplift resistance is a key parameter against upheaval buckling in the design of a buried pipeline. The mobilization of uplift resistance in dense sand is investigated in the present study based on finite-element (FE) ...

Abstract: This study conducted finite-element (FE) modeling of uplift resistance from dense backfill sand. The prepeak hardening, postpeak softening, density, and confining-pressure-dependent soil behavior were implemented in FE ...
