<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 ...

Lateral load tests were performed on a full-scale pile cap in clay before and after construction of shallow soilcrete walls produced by soil mixing and jet grouting on either side of the pile cap. This relatively simple approach increased the lateral resistance ...

This paper describes a method of conducting rapid lateral loading tests of deep foundations in which the load is applied to the foundation with a time duration of less than one second. For purposes of this paper the loading is applied using a pyrotechnic loading ...

This paper describes within a case history that the appropriate factor of safety does not guarantee acceptable settlements of pile groups.

In certain regions of the world, designing deep foundations to withstand seismic loading is a reality. Seismic loading of structures and foundations reaches its most critical state as a cyclic lateral force. The response of soils and foundations to repetitive ...

A unified design of piles and pile groups is proposed where in capacity, residual compression, negative skin friction and settlement are related.

<p>Soil disturbance due to the driving of two groups of 16 concrete piles each in sensitive marine clay was studies on a construction project in eastern Canada. Pore pressures, heave and lateral movement of soil and piles and tests of strength, compressibility ...
