Abstract: Dynamic response of anchored sheet pile quay walls embedded in liquefaction-susceptible soil was investigated numerically utilizing the strain space plasticity model for cyclic mobility available in DIANA finite element program. Based on the results, the extension of li...
Abstract: The soil layers in the southwest of Iran are mostly soft and fine. Raft foundations undergo excessive settlement on these soils. In these cases, using piled raft foundations can decrease the settlements to some extent. But because of the low stiffness of soft clay, sett...
Abstract: Today, natural colorants are emerging globally due to the fact that are safer and environmentally-friendly. Natural dyes have been employed in dyeing Persian carpet piles for many years. In this study, the dried Achillea was used&n...
Abstract: The construction of embankments on the soft or liquefiable ground is a common problem in road construction. An option gaining in popularity is to build the embankment on a grid of piles or columns that are constructed by ground improvement techniques like deep mixing and jet grout...
Abstract: In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of such piles are described. The dynamic loads may be harmonic, seismic, or impact due to a hammer drop in pile driving. The theoretical solutions reviewed involve a mathematical solution and a finite element approach for tapered pil...
Abstract: It is well known that driven piles in clayey deposits typically undergo a time-dependent increase in capacity following initial installation due to “s...
Abstract: Nowadays, CPT-based methods are vastly employed for predicting the bearing capacity of offshore piles. Previous experiences have shown that the pile capacity is time-dependent (setup and relaxation). The time effect on pile-bearing capacity is extremely important and is missing in most CPT-bas...
Abstract: Driven-pile foundations are frequently used in industrial projects in southwest lowlands of Iran. Static pile load test to failure is the ultimate procedure available to examine the capacity of piles. Being expensive and time-consuming, the procedure is often submitted fo...
Abstract: Micropiles are mainly used to increase the bearing capacity and reduce the settlements particularly for strengthening the existing foundations. Frictional resistance between the surface of the pile&...
