This study aimed to optimize Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inferences System (ANFIS) with two
optimization algorithms, namely, Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization …

This practical guide provides the best introduction to large deformation material point
method (MPM) simulations for geotechnical engineering. It provides the basic theory …

The installation of displacement piles in sand leads to severe changes in the stress state,
density and soil properties around the pile tip and shaft, and therefore has a significant …

Preliminary pile tests are becoming increasingly routine in piling projects, some of which are
instrumented to help optimise working pile design. However, the execution of a successful …

A number of field studies suggest that the axial capacity of driven piles in sand increases
with time. Field test programmes were performed by a number of research groups to …

Because of the deltaic nature of the Netherlands, deep soft soil deposits are widespread.
Due to the population density exploitation of underground space is vital for commercial …

The design of axially loaded piles has been an area of focus for the offshore industry in
recent years. A number of studies report substantial increases in the shaft capacity of piles …

Stress history is an important measurement in soils as it affects strength, stability, stiffness,
and flow characteristics. The evaluation of the in-situ preconsolidation stress, or effective …

Screw displacement (SD) pile and continuous flight auger (CFA) pile are two similar deep
foundation technologies, and new developed SD piles are used for the first time in Anhui …

Full-scale axial load tests were performed on five screw injection piles founded in medium-
dense to dense sand at a site in Delft, the Netherlands. Each pile was instrumented with …
