Pull-Out Capacity of Granular Anchor Piles in Expansive Soils

Lateral Bearing Capacity of Piles in Cohesive Soils Based on Soils' Failure Strength Control

This paper presents the results of a series of numerical analysis carried out on piles in cohesive soils. Broms (1964a) proposed graphs to obtain ultimate lateral bearing capacity of such piles. However, the graphs do not cover all piles with different lengths. In this study, a finite difference program that is especially designed for piles is used. The investigations were carried out by varyin...

Chemical Amelioration of Expansive Soils

Expansive soils swell when they absorb water and shrink when water evaporates from them. Hence, lightly loaded civil engineering structures founded in these soils are subjected to severe distress. Therefore, there is a need to ameliorate or improve these swelling soils through some innovative methods. This paper discusses chemical stabilisation of expansive soils, a technique in which chemical ...

Numerical Solution for Heave of Expansive Soils

A numerical solution for heave prediction is developed within the context theories for both saturated and unsaturated soil behaviors. Basically, lowering the potential level of compressing on a saturated layer will cause heaving due to water absorption. This water absorption is in an opposite way, similar to water dissipation as what happens during unloading in consolidation process. However, i...
