In the recent years, non-connected piled raft foundation has been considered as an economical and practical deep foundation in the situation that high shear and concentrated loads may occur at the connection of the raft and pile head. This paper was presented an experimental study of a square foundation on the effects of parameters such as S/D, L/D and etc. in two cases of connected or non-conn...

This supplementary material presents details of the experiments addressed in the main paper. Results for individual steps of the pot configuration pipeline are illustrated for real and synthetic datasets. Four experiments show the reassembly of a computer generated axially symmetric pot from 10, 17, 23 and 30 unorganized broken pieces, respectively. Gaussian noise was added to make the problem ...

When English speakers successively pile-sort colors, their sorting recapitulates an independently proposed hierarchy of color category evolution during language change (Boster, 1986). Here we extend that finding to the semantic domain of spatial relations. Levinson et al. (2003) have proposed a hierarchy of spatial category evolution, and we show that English speakers successively pile-sort spa...

S: A series of centrifuge model tests were performed to assess the tunneling-induced ground deformations and their detrimental effects on the neighboring single pile in the saturated sandy ground. The relative elevations between the pile tip and the buried depth of new driven tunnel dominated the distributions of bending moment and axial force along the depths. A load transfer mechanism is prop...

Explosion occurs due to sudden release of energy. Common examples of explosion include chemical, atomic, heat, and pressure tank (due to ignition) explosions. Petroleum, gas, and petrochemical industries operations are threatened by natural risks and processes. Fires and explosions are the greatest process risks which cause financial damages. This study aims at designing a single-floor structur...

Original scientific paper In this paper, based on the overlapping deformation mode of load transfer law of uplift belled pile, and the theory of elastic mechanics, the elastic-plastic analytical solutions of uplift belled pile were derived, and the nonlinear elastic-plastic deformation analysis method was established, which made the deformation analysis theory of uplift belled pile more reasona...

Impact pile driving is a multi-component problem which is associated to multi-directional ground vibrations. At first, vibration is transferred from the hammer to the pile and then to the common interface of pile and soil. This is then transferred to the environment and has great impact on the adjacent structures, causing disturbance to residents and also damage to the buildings. It is of high ...

Numerous techniques have been presented by different researchers to analyze piled raft. In order to analyze pile foundation, soil can be modeled as spring, continuous medium, or porous media. Pile can also be modeled as spring or continuous medium. This study includes three main stages: a short description of different types of analysis methods of pile foundation, writing a computer program bas...
