<p>A comprehensive literature review was conducted to examine the current state of knowledge regarding passive piles which specifically focused on the recently adopted design methods for landslide prevention. Of all the publications compiled and reviewed for ...

<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>A histrorically slopw moving embankment fill landslide on Secondary Highway 682:02 accelerated to failure in the spring of 2007. The landslide was translational with the failure plane cocated between 4.5 and 6.5m depth within native lacustrine clay. The ...

The purpose of this article is to outline some essential properties of concrete that allow drilled shafts to be constructed with high quality and structural integrity. A good chef pays close attention to quality ingredients, carefully measured and mixed to ...

This paper describes problems associated with cracked or damaged wedge splices based on dynamic monitoring and uplift loading tests.

Static and dynamic tests compared with CAPWAP analysis of restrike data and analysis of static data investigation set up time, toe resistance mobilization and settlement.

Two brief case histories are presented, where damage to concrete piles was discovered by means of dynamic measurements using the Pile Driving Analyzer.

Bellow hose settlement gauges were used to measure vertical soil heave during the installation of concrete piles in sensitive marine clay. The equipment is described and the sources of error are discussed.

The composite concrete piles and the issues in design are described in this paper.

The results reported are of an investigation of a group of thirteen 30cm diameter precast concrete piles diven through 18m of sensitive marine clay followed by 3m of silt and sand and 4m of very dense silt to end bearing in glacial till.
