This paper investigates the effect of model scale on seismic response of prototype helical
pile (HP) groups employing finite element modelling approach verified by the results of …

The saturated sand surrounding an offshore pile foundation under quasi-static cyclic lateral
load can show the physical phenomena of macromechanical densification and convective …

abstract Different techniques have been proposed to increase the bearing capacity of open-
ended piles. Welding helices to the shaft and tapering the pile shaft could be used …

An increasing number of catastrophic progressive collapses of deep excavations have
occurred throughout the world. However, the research on progressive collapse mechanisms …

Monopiles are the most commonly used foundation type for offshore wind turbine (OWT)
structures and are characterized by relatively large geometric dimensions, compared with …

In this study, the Taguchi design of experiments (TDOE) is employed to enhance the bearing
capacity of geotechnical structures. To this end, two different case studies, including tapered …

The use of conduits for transportation of utilities is very common around the world. The safe
design and installation of these conduits depend upon the understanding of the soil-conduit …

Abstract Locking-steel-pipe (LSP) piles connect with adjacent joints to form a pile row
enclosure structure. Due to the advantages of quick construction, efficiency in installation …

Similar to free-standing pile groups, piled raft foundations are conventionally designed in
which the piles carry the total load of structure and the raft bearing capacity is not taken into …

Energy micropiles (EMPs) combine foundation systems with shallow geothermal energy
technology, offering the advantages of structural reinforcement alongside enhanced energy …
