The results of the test pile program established driving criteria for production piles that included end of- drive blow counts and pile tip elevations with an appropriate allowance for setup. The program also confirmed that the planned installation equipment ...

<p>A shake-table series of experiments has provided valuable data for liquefaction-induced lateral spreading effects on pile foundations. In this paper, this data is employed to estimate peak soil pressure on single piles embedded in a laterally spreading ...

<p>The horizontal arching mechanism transfers horizontal earth pressures acting on flexible retaining wall panels to stiffer neighbouring elements via soil shear stresses. In this research, the horizontal arching mechanism and lateral displacements of fixed ...

Geological evidence suggests that during a future eruption, Cumbre Vieja Volcano on the Island of La Palmamay experience a catastrophic failure of its west flank, dropping 150 to 500 km3 of rock into the sea. Using a geologically reasonable estimate of landslide ...

<p>As a material, soft clay poses many challenges to geotechnical engineers. The<br />material responds in a spectacular manner to stress changes. The paper describes the behaviour of five embankments constructed on lightly overconsolidated soft Malaysian ...
