Piles are a common choice of foundation in high-rise buildings and heavily loaded
structures due to the requirement of a higher-capacity foundation system to withstand the …

To study the vertical compressive bearing characteristics of large-diameter rock-socketed
cast-in-place piles, eight manually-excavated rock-socketed cast-in-place piles were …

We investigated the dynamic characteristics and pile-soil interaction of a heavy-haul
embankment reinforced by micro-piles. First, the vibration of a heavy-haul railway under a …

Rock-socketed pile is widely used in coastal wharf, Marine bridge, and Marine power
engineering, and the end bearing function is considered more in the design process …

Uplift loading is imparted on piles when subjected to overturning moment on the supporting
structures, seismic stresses or hydrostatic pressures. Although several experimental and …

Rocks are heterogeneous materials usually associated with geological discontinuities
making them weak for sustaining the loads due to civil and mining engineering structures …

Large diameter rock socketed piles were preferred for the purpose of transmission of a huge
volume of both vertical and lateral load from superstructure to a deeper depth safely without …

Cracks develop in concrete piles under lateral static loading as the tensile stress exceeds
the concrete strength, causing a decrease in the pile's flexural rigidity and influencing the …

Bored piles (drilled shafts) socketed in weathered rock mass are frequently used to transfer
higher lateral loads from superstructures to competent underlying rock mass. A common …

This paper presents the findings from a model experimental setup designed and fabricated
for conducting single gravity (1-g) model experiments on model aluminum instrumented …
