Abstract: The paper examines the mechanism of pile installation by vertical jet fluidization in saturated sand in order to define the constitutive parameters that control installation geometry and pile depth of embedment. A series ...

Abstract: Torpedo piles installed by dynamic penetration have been used as anchors in the Brazilian offshore oil production infrastructure practice for two decades. Dynamic penetration aided by fluidization of the soil during pile ...

Abstract: The drainage conditions during cone penetration is a critical factor in the assessment of tailing properties, as the sedimentation process produces deposits that are spatially variable, and often include materials in the ...

Abstract: Pile installation by water jetting relies extensively upon empirical methods. For more scientific approaches, improvements have to be made in identifying the erosion processes that occur within the zone of soil adjacent ...

Abstract: The study of the geomechanical behavior of marine clays is a basic requirement for project optimization of the oil and natural gas industry. As part of a large-scale project, this study explored the effects of moisture ...

Abstract: The study presents a numerical methodology for minimizing the bone loss in human femur submitted to total hip replacement (THR) procedure with focus on cemented femoral stem. Threedimensional computational models were used ...
