Detailed particle breakage adjacent to a pile has great influence on the settlement and
bearing capacity of a pile foundation. Before the pile test, coral sand was divided into …

Prediction of base resistance for long piles is usually challenging because of the complex
mobilization of load over the depth. This study hence proposes a novel machine learning …

A series of high-pressure compression tests with various stress paths under monotonic and
cyclic loadings were performed to examine the compression and particle crushing …

Nondestructive imaging techniques enable the study of failure mechanisms within physical
models for a wide range of geotechnical problems. This paper presented an innovative …

This technical paper investigates the bearing performance of precast concrete piles
embedded within calcareous sands with biogrouting at the pile toe. Loading tests of biogrout …

In order to explore the jacked pile penetration mechanism, in this study, a series of
laboratory model tests of jacked pile in homogeneous cohesive soil were carried out. Based …

An attempt is made to establish an analytically based estimate of the influence zone
surrounding the tip of a loaded pile in sand. In the framework of the cavity expansion theory …

Particle breakage is a common occurrence in granular systems when the external stress
exceeds the individual particle strength. A large number of experimental evidences …

On the basis of the mechanism of tapered piles and evidence obtained from small scale
model tests, this paper proposes cylindrical and spherical cavity expansion theories to …

The optimization of the inter-helix spacing is a key issue of the axial bearing capacity of
helical piles. In this paper, based on the cavity expansion, an analytical approach …
