Abstract: Analyzing piles subjected to lateral loads significantly depends on soil resistance at any point along the pile as a function of pile deflection, known as the p-y curve. On the other hand, the deformation characteristics of soil defined as “the soil strain at 50% of max...
Abstract: A Knowledge of soil types and their properties is highly important in determining constraints and potential as well as better utilization of soils. For example, clay minerals are important fractions of the soil's solid phase, and many soil physical and chemical characteristics are contr...
Abstract: Use piles in recent years, a significant increase in sand beaches that are often saturated grain soil structure, has been found. Earthquake tensions in areas such as soil structure, increase pore pressure and decrease soil resistance and ultimately create the liquefacti...
Abstract: Pre-casted lightweight concrete (LWC) provide an attractive alternative to conventional pile materials such as steel and concrete by improving the durability of deep foundations. In this paper, the drivability of cylindrical piles with lightweight concrete is investigat...
Abstract: The study on micro piles for seismic improvement and reduction of structure settlement has received much attention from structure theorists. This is due to the performance of these piles in the improvement of seismic performance of bed soil and soil density and reduction in s...
Abstract: This paper describes a new one-dimensional finite element model for pile driving in soft rock. The approach of Smith (1960) is used to simulate the pile driver system. The pile is assumed to be elastic, linear, and vertical. It is also discretized into a number of...
Abstract: Austrian Tunneling is mainly applicable to big-section tunnels. The tunnel is excavated step by step in this technique. Furthermore, foreboding, jet grouting and freezing are the techniques applied to construct falling tunnels; however, Austrian tunneling should not be used a...
Abstract: Mud drilling is a combination of organic and inorganic chemicals made in the form of liquid and used in the drilling industry to move the piles to the surface, to control the pressure, to make unbonded walls, and to lubricate, etc. [1]. Developing the advanced digging, ...
Abstract: Construction of railway embankments on loose beds without using any methods of soil improvement (e.g. stone columns in silt and clay beds, deep soil mixing method, jet grouting and also using micropiles individually or in groups form) leads to the reduction of embankmen...
