Model Tests on Y-Shaped Piles under Compressive and Lateral Loading in Saturated Sand

Centrifuge modelling of long piles subjected to lateral loading with high load eccentricity in sand

In this research paper, five centrifuge lateral loading tests of long piles with a considerable load eccentricity were carried out in the sand to investigate the impacts of the load eccentricity and pile length changes on the lateral behavior of a flexible pile beside the determination of experimental p-y curves. Comparing experimental test results with the recommended API (American Petroleum ...

Pullout Capacity of Model Piles in Sand

A large scale experimental program using vertical and batter model piles in sand subjected to pull out loads has been carried out in a model tank of size 1m x 1m x 1m. Mild steel pipes of varying diameters, lengths, and shapes are used as model piles. A poorly graded river sand having specific gravity G= 2.67, Uniformity coefficient= 3.53, emax = 0.81, emin = 0.54 has been used as foundation me...

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...

Structure of some sand piles model

spm (Sand Pile Model) is a simple discrete dynamical system used in physics to represent granular objects. It is deeply related to integer partitions, and many other combinatorics problems, such as tilings or rewriting systems. The evolution of the system started with n stacked grains generates a lattice, denoted by SPM(n). We study here the structure of this lattice. We rst explain how it can ...
