Rapid expansion of the offshore wind industry has stimulated a renewed interest in the
behaviour of offshore piles. There is widespread acceptance in practice that pile design …

The interpretation of in-situ geotechnical test data needs a unified approach so that soil
parameters are evaluated in a consistent and complementary manner with laboratory …

Scour around bridge foundations is one of the leading causes of bridge failure. Up until
recently, the monitoring of this phenomenon was primarily based around using underwater …

In this study, the effects of cementation on the stress–dilatancy and strength of cemented
sand are investigated through experimental characterizations using triaxial tests and …

NCHRP synthesis 368 explores the current practices of departments of transportation
