<p>Pile used as the foundation in many cases may be subjected to inclined compressive loading condition. In such cases, overall behaviors of the piles are estimated from available conventional theoretical approaches. As there are limited experimental studies ...

<p>Eurocode 7(EC7) introduces the characteristic and design values with partial factors to reduce uncertainties associated with soil parameters, applying load, etc. The characteristic and design values of soil parameters according to this code were determined, ...

<p>A comparative study of pile design is presented using Eurocode 7 and an expanded reliability - based design (RBDE) method that is recently developed by the authors. A design example that has been used in the literature to illustrate Eurocode 7 is re-designed ...

The classical problem of a beam on an elastic foundation (BOEF) has long been of practical interest to geotechnical engineers, because it provides a framework for computing deflections, not only of foundations, but also of vertically oriented laterally loaded ...

The axial and lateral monotonic and cyclic behavior of helical pile foundations was investigated and new helical screw systems suitable for seismic loadings were developed. More than one hundred full scale field load tests were conducted on instrumented helical ...

On the basis of load tests undertaken during the course of major projects, it has been established, that drilled shafts show particular behaviour with respect to skin friction in Cyprus alluvial formations. In general, skin friction and pile capacity as determined ...

<p>The Foundation Manual is intended to provide the field engineer with information that may be of some assistance in solving foundation problems and in making engineering decisions.</p> <p><br />Although the field engineer is required to make engineering ...

The coexistence period of old geotechnical standards based on a global safety system parallel to Eurocodes ended in Austria by June 2009. Therefore specific case histories of projects designed according to Eurocodes, especially to EC 7-1 are not yet available. ...

<p>Geotechnical constructions are sophisticated structures due to the non-linear soil behavior and the complex soil-structure interaction, which entails great exigencies on the liable engineer during the design process. The process can be schematized as a ...

<p>Shanghai&rsquo;s subway construction has entered a new period of rapid development. A notable characteristic of subway network construction is that the construction environment is increasingly complex. Take Shanghai subway line 10 as an example, in the ...
