Abstract: The plane strain compression and sliding of an elastic rectangle is considered whose one set of parallel edges are free from tractions. The remaining set of parallel edges is simultaneously ...

Abstract: The plane-strain compression of an elastic rectangle by rigid, rough planes with finite coefficient of friction between the surfaces is considered. The contact area is divided into an inner ...

Abstract: The present study investigates the two-dimensional stresses and displacements in a finite rectangle whose one set of parallel edges is given a relative tangential displacement by means of rigidly ...

Abstract: A general formulation is given for the problem of torsion of a cylinder embedded in another cylinder in the presence of a cylindrical crack at the interface. The present formulation leads to ...

Abstract: There are many onshore and offshore situations where the lateral cyclic loading may affect both the pullout and lateral capacity of pile anchors. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the effect of lateral cyclic ...

Abstract: Currently, helical anchors are being extensively used in the construction of transmission tower foundations, pipelines, and braced excavations. To arrive at the uplift capacity of these anchors, it is necessary to assume ...

Abstract: This study presents the experimental results of one‐dimensional unsaturated water infiltration under two conditions: vertical columns of homogeneous soil and vertical columns of two‐layered soil. The purpose was to more ...

Abstract: In this paper, the behavior of helical piles under lateral loads in clayey soils is examined through an experimental investigation on model piles. Tests were conducted on rigid helical piles with different numbers of plates. ...
