Three-dimensional numerical analyses using the discrete element method are conducted to investigate several fundamental aspects related soil-structure interaction and mobilization mechanisms in geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported embankments. The contributions of soil arching, tensioned membrane effect, friction interaction, subsoil support, punching failure investigated. results indicated t...

Abstract Pile foundations are adopted if a soil of low bearing capacity extends to considerable depth or the structure is heavy settlement due large. It transfers load strong, stable stratum soil. The behaviour in slope and piles embedded it an elaborated soil-structure interaction problem. This paper presents results experimental investigations on single pile subjected lateral by varying relat...

The analysis of the behavior soil and foundations when piles in offshore areas are subjected to long-term lateral loading (wind) is one major problems associated with smooth operation superstructure. strength pile-soil system influenced by variations water content soil. At present, there no studies carried out analyzing mechanical deformational both material laterally loaded groundwater level a...

Under most engineering conditions, soil disturbance due to pile installation may cause properties vary within the region adjacent in radial direction. This paper derives a rigorous solution investigate kinematic response of end-bearing piles under excitation vertical P-waves considering construction effect. The displacement responses and soil, governed by dynamic equilibrium equation, are theor...

Micropiles are routinely used in the United States for foundation support and stabilization of slopes. In recent years, several retaining walls have been constructed using micropiles in an A-frame type configuration to support temporary and permanent excavations at sites with limited access and limited right-of-way. Typical A-frame micropile walls consist of a row of vertical micropiles at the ...

The construction of offshore wind power pile foundations on artificial islands is a challenging task due to soil consolidation and additional loads that result in negative skin friction (NSF). In this study, comprehensive pile–soil interaction model established investigate the development NSF under action self-weight fill surcharge load. one-dimensional theory an ideal elastoplastic load transf...
