This paper reports the results of a series of centrifuge experiments exploring the dynamic response of pile foundations. The model tested in a centrifuge at 50g consisted of an isolated pile and two pile groups embedded ...

The computations of the bearing capacity of foundations have generally been

The response of an inhomogeneous soil layer with exponentially varying stiffness with depth is explored using one-dimensional viscoelastic wave propagation theory. The governing equation is treated analytically, leading ...

Large-diameter open-ended piles (LDOEPs) are increasingly being used for support of infrastructure projects. Yet, many of the methods in current use for predicting their capacity are based on studies involving small-diameter ...

River embankments and small earth dams are linear retaining structures commonly used to protect densely populated areas from flood phenomena and to provide water reservoirs for human or agricultural use. Their continuity ...
