The calculated response from a numerical model will deviate from the measured one given
the presence of modelling idealizations and real world construction effects. This deviation …

The behaviour of stone columns has yet to be captured fully by analytical and numerical
techniques, and predicting column behaviour in soft cohesive soils brings specific …

Piling is a fast-moving field and recent years have seen major advances in theory, methods,
testing procedures and equipment. Some of these changes have been driven by the need …

Scientific approaches to pile design have advanced enormously in recent decades and yet,
still, the most fundamental aspect of pile design—that of estimating the axial capacity—relies …

Comprehensive measurements of the effective stresses developed during the installation,
equalization, and load testing of displacement piles in a loose to medium dense quartz sand …

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 …

This paper describes a new method for evaluating the axial capacity of driven piles in
siliceous sand using CPT qc data. The method is shown to provide better predictions than …

Particle crushing, shear banding, interface abrasion and migration of crushing products all
have the potential to influence the behaviour of displacement piles in sands. This paper …

To evaluate the capability of a centrifuge physical model to catch the main aspects of the
shaft friction mobilisation of non-displacement piles in sand, a series of centrifuge tests was …
