The thermal response of an energy field scale pile that is part a pair piles spaced at centre-to-centre distance 3.5 m (i.e., 6D, where D the diameter), was examined experimentally and numerically. Three tests were conducted to assess axial radial responses pile: (i) heating alone, (ii) both simultaneously, (iii) other while considered not heated. Good agreement obtained between experimental nu...

bearing capacity prediction of axially loaded piles is one of the most important problems in geotechnical engineering practices, with a wide variety range of methods which have been introduced to forecast it accurately. machine learning methods have been reported by many contemporary researches with some degree of success in modeling geotechnical phenomena. in this study, a fairly new machine l...

In this study, a coupled model is developed to address the dynamic response of an offshore pile to linear water waves. In the coupled model, the pile and the seabed are treated as a saturated poro-elastic medium described by Biot’s dynamic theory, while the seawater is considered as a conventional acoustic medium. To establish the coupled model, boundary element formulations for saturated porou...

Because of the deltaic nature Netherlands, deep soft soil deposits are widespread. Due to population density exploitation underground space is vital for commercial developments and transport networks. Piles used as primary support elements in excavations, cut cover tunnels, quay walls, flood defences provide uplift resistance base tunnels basements. This paper examines empirical correlations li...

Tailored gradation in elastic–plastic properties is known to offer avenues for suppressing surface damage during normal indentation and sliding contact. In tribological applications, sliding contact analysis provides a more representative mechanism for fundamental understanding and design as it offers a tool to test materials under conditions of controlled abrasive wear. However, no such study ...
