<p>Piles are extensively used as a means of slope stabilization. Despite the rapid advances in computing and software power, the design of such piles may still include a high degree of conservatism, stemming from the use of simplified, easy-to-apply methodologies. ...

<p>This paper uses a hybrid method for analysis and design of slope stabilizing piles that was developed in a preceding paper by the writers. The aim of this paper is to derive insights about the factors influencing the response of piles and pile-groups. Axis-to-axis ...

<p>This is the first in a series of two papers presenting a decoupled methodology for the design of slope stabilising piles. The proposed methodology combines the widely accepted analytical calculations to obtain the required stabilising force, with non-linear ...
