The apparent phase velocity of open-ended pipe piles after installation is difficult to predict
owing to the soil-plug effect. This paper derives an analytical solution to calculate the …

This paper presents a new method for estimating the base capacity of open-ended steel
pipe piles in sand, a difficult problem involving great uncertainty in pile foundation design …

A DEM simulation of the installation process of open-ended pile is conducted by means of
the particle flow code PFC 2D. Focus is placed on the investigation of the soil plug behavior …

Plugging of open-ended pipe piles affects the drivability and the capacity of the pile.
Depending on their geometrical and geotechnical properties, as well as the driving …

The development of a soil plug inside an open-ended pile with respect to the installation
method is examined using numerical simulations. In this paper, the penetration process of …

This paper provides a rational method for evaluating a realistic lower bound for the base
resistance of pipe piles in siliceous sand. Separate expressions are developed to represent …

This investigation is concerned with the mathematical analysis of a viscoelastic prestressed
pipe pile embedded in multilayered soil under vertical dynamic excitation. The pile …

During the last decade the offshore wind industry grew ceaselessly and engineering
challenges continuously arose in that area. Installation of foundation piles, known as …

Large open-ended pipe pile has been found to be advantageous for use in transportation
projects. The current design method, however, is not adequately developed. To close this …

Large-diameter open-ended pipe piles typically refer to pipe piles with diameters larger than
0.91 m. These piles, when properly designed and constructed, could provide high load …
