Effects of existing piles on lateral resistance of new piles

Dynamic Response of Single Piles Under Lateral Loads and Earthquakes

Lateral Load Tests on Small-Diameter Piles for Slope Remediation

Slope reinforcement and the use of structural pile elements can be an effective slope remediation alternative when conventional remediation practices (e.g., improved drainage) fail to consider the causal factors leading to slope instability (e.g., strength loss due to weathering). An experimental research program was aimed at developing a rapid, cost-effective, and simple remediation system tha...

Dynamic Response of Single Piles Under Lateral Loads and Earthquakes

Experimental Load Transfer of Piles Subject to Lateral Soil Movement

Remediation of slope failures requires stabilization alternatives that address causes of slope instability. Slope reinforcement and pile stabilization systems, if properly designed, are effective in preventing slope movements in weak soils. Soil load transfer to pile elements from the lateral soil movement as occurs in slope failures is a complex soil-structure interaction problem, and the sign...

The Treatment of Piles

The aetiology of this ' universal and distressing complaint' which is very common in India is variable and need not be discussed in detail, though heredity, constipation, sedentary habits, child-bearing, middle age and drastic methods of cleaning the anus are all important factors, while in later life carcinoma of the rectum and enlarged prostate must never be forgotten. On looking at a patient...
