A Study of the Influence of Soil Layer Arrangement On the Oblique Pull-out Capacity of a Pile

Effect of the Degree of Saturation on the Behavior of a Single Sand Column in Clay

Researchers have extensively studied the Use of granular piles (sand columns) as a ground improvement technique under fully saturated conditions, but have paid limited attention to the influence of the unsaturated zone, which reflects soil conditions in arid and semi-arid regions. However, their behavior in partially s...

Pullout Behavior of Granular Anchor Pile in Layered Soil Profile

Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations in Homogeneous and Layered Soils under Varying Ground Water Table Conditions by using PLAXIS 2D

This present study focuses on the numerical analysis of the UBC of shallow foundations subjected to different soil layers and GWT case. A finite element-based analysis was examined by PLAXIS 2D to study the response of foundations placed on both homogeneous and layered soil profiles. The investigation considered founda...

Experimental Investigation of Seismic Bending Moment Amplification in Pile Groups Embedded in Layered Clay

This study experimentally investigates the seismic bending-moment response of a five-pile group embedded in layered cohesive soil comprising soft clay overlying stiff clay. A series of 1-g shaking-table tests was conducted using a 0.8 × 0.6 × 0.84 m laminar shear box and a 1:50-scale physical model to examine the effec...

Model Test Study on Soil-Carrying Effect of Shallow-Buried Rectangular Pipe Jacking

Due to the cross-section characteristics of rectangular pipe jacking, the “soil-carrying effect” of overlying soil migration with the pipeline is prone to occur during jacking in shallow strata, resulting in a sharp increase in jacking resistance and large deformation of the strata. In this paper, a visual similarity m...

Interface shear mechanisms in concrete–cement soil composite piles revealed by ring shear testing

Composite piles consisting of an inner precast concrete core and an outer cement soil column have been increasingly used in soft ground, whereas their load-transfer mechanism is governed by two interfaces, namely the concrete-cement soil interface and the cement soil-surrounding soil interface. In this study, ring sh...
