Batter piles are most commonly used to resist large lateral loads caused by winds, tidal waves and soil pressure as experienced offshore structures, bridges, towers in general. The details literature on the dynamic behaviour of these batter based in-situ tests limited. present study focused single pile groups subjected machine induced vibrations using 3D finite element (FE) analysis. coupled so...

The settlement of a group pile foundation is the result elastic-plastic and rheological soil. Unfortunately, most research only considers elasto-plasticity piles or soils. Classical theories like Poynting-Thompson model provide some prediction for behavior groups, which cannot satisfactorily reflect total characteristics foundation. In current paper, we presented method to study behaviors in li...

The pile foundation cutting and underpinning process during shield tunnelling significantly impacts the stability of bridge substructures. In this paper, tunnel area from Hongguzhong Avenue Station to Yangming Park Nanchang Metro Line 2 was taken as research subject, which crosses project south approach section Bayi Bridge. Through numerical simulation on-site monitoring analysis, influence act...

The following game is considered. The 0rst player can take any number of stones, but not all the stones, from a single pile of stones. After that, each player can take at most n-times as many as the previous one. The player 0rst unable to move loses and his opponent wins. Let f1; f2; : : : be an initial sequence of stones in increasing order, such that the second player has a winning strategy w...

A macroscopic elastic description of stresses in static, preloaded granular media is derived systematically from the microscopic elasticity of individual inter-grain contacts. The assumed preloaded state and friction at contacts ensure that the network of inter-grain contacts is not altered by small perturbations. The texture of this network, set by the preparation of the system, is encoded in ...
