<p>The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE), in particular the Geotechnical Division (GD) and the Hong Kong Geotechnical Society (HKGES) promote close collaboration with other Professional Engineers&rsquo; Institutions within the region to enhance sharing ...

The paper describes the design of pile foundation on the site of the Elektrenai power plant, Lithuania. The foundation is aimed to support equipment of the power plant consisting of the gas turbine, the steam turbine and the generator. Besides high loads, ...

Since its introduction in 1973, the Davisson Offset Limit has been widely used in the United States for interpretation of axial compressive load tests on pile foundations and is one of three methods explicitly accepted by the 2006 International Building Code. ...

<p>This paper presents a summary of design methodologies commonly adopted in Malaysia for bored piles under axial compression together with a brief discussion on the construction aspects of bored piles.</p>

A program of field loading tests was conducted to measure the axial response of drilled foundations constructed using a variety of different drilling techniques. The research was performed at the Auburn University National Geotechnical Experimentation Site ...

Design methods for axial and lateral loads on rock socketed piles are summarized. The key factors which influence design for axial loading are presented and detailed descriptions are given of three appropriate design methods, together with worked examples. ...

This document commences with design sections covering the basic assumptions relating to construction that are involved with modern design methods.

<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 ...
