Abstract: A two-surface bounding surface plasticity model for the undrained axial pile response in fine-grained soils is described and used in the back-analysis of full-scale pile tests using the empirical one-dimensional t-z spring ...

Abstract: The lateral soil resistance available to pipelines partially embedded in a seafloor is of interest in evaluating pipeline lateral buckling capacity, stability under forces resulting from current loads, or route pullout ...

Abstract: Three analytical methods are used to evaluate the lateral buckle capacity of perfectly straight pipelines supported by a seafloor foundation: the beam-on-elastic-foundation method, the Kerr thermal buckling method, and the ...

Abstract: A bounding surface plasticity p − y model is used to examine the internal energy responses of a laterally loaded pile in static and dynamic simulations. The model response is first compared with those observed in physical ...
