The Dutch Design for geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported embankments had a major revise before publishing its second version in 2016 (van Eekelen and Brugman, 2016, hereafter called CUR226). This paper compares this new design... more
Firstly, I want to thank you because you have decided to buy this book, namely Concise Edition: Pile Foundation Basics. This book is not as great, nor is it comparable to other Pile Foundation related books. What I can say, this book... more

Using piles in the foundation had escalated as the number of high-rise buildings had increased through the past years. The main purpose of piles is to transmit loads from shallow weak layers to deeper and stronger layers of soil. That... more
"In this paper, a comparison study based on results of experimental lateral pile load tests was carried out between a new proposed method and widely used methods for predicting the ultimate lateral resistance of piles in sandy soil. The... more
Engineers are often faced with construction of pavement structures over soft and highly compressible subgrade. Such conditions render the structures unable to withstand the required design loads and susceptible to high settlements with... more
The Egyptian Code, part 4 (2005) recommends design parameters to estimate the design capacities of large diameter bored piles. This paper investigates the predictability of pile resistance components, (qsu, and qbu) following the... more
The piled-raft foundation systems have started to be a very popular design method that is commonly used for especially high-rise buildings. In this foundation system, both raft and piles share the applied loads coming from the supper... more
Background and results of derivation of axial pile resistances based on empirical values for „EA-Pfähle“. The basics of the derivation of axial pile capacity based on empirical values and selected results are presented, which are already... more
This paper presents a numerical analysis of a well-monitored pile–slab-supported embankment for the Beijing–Tianjin high-speed railway in China. Cement–fly ash–gravel piles were used in this project. A coupled twodimensional mechanical... more
Un elemento finito lineal con sección transversal constante puede adoptar cualquier orientación en el plano y sus extremos o nodos lo ligan al resto de los elementos. La energ a cinética (T ) y potencial (V ) de un elemento elástico... more
This research discusses seismic damage to multi-story frames supported by raft foundations on liquefiable soil as well as unrecoverable rigid-body motion. The engineering focus is directed to the constructed steel sheet pile walls (SSPW)... more
Rockfall bolting, barrier structure and protection system is geo-structural topic; the aim of it is to serve and protect the community from life risk, economic loss and environmental implications.Rock hazard vector and rock stabilizing... more
In design rules for the basal geosynthetic reinforcement (GR) of a piled embankment , the GR strips between each pair of adjacent pile caps are assumed to attract most load. Van Eekelen et al., (2015) and Zaeske (2001) showed that this is... more
Several structures resting on soft soils suffer from excessive settlements due to their low shear strength and high compressibility. The above problem has become a challenge to civil engineers in general and to geotechnical engineers in... more
RC piles are widely used to support structures built on soft deposited soil with high liquefaction potential. While the lateral spreading of liquefied soil during earthquakes may cause severe damage to the RC piles, the authors propose... more
The large and small scale shaking table tests, which was conducted for investigating damage evolution of piles inside liquefied soil, are numerically simulated and experimental verified by the 3D nonlinear finite element analysis. Damage... more
This paper investigates the effect of the active earth pressure and side shear resistance on the lateral pile capacity in sand soils. A simple proposed method, which considers into account the effect of both of net frontal earth pressure... more
The pile driving analyzer (PDA) was developed in the 1970’s as a method to directly measure dynamic pile response during driving. As the name implies, it was developed to analyze pile driving and evaluate pile driveability, including the... more
Greater confinement of the soil foundation may globally reduce the shear span length, which may raise the risk of shear failure of RC piles. On the other hand, soil confinement may improve the flexural ductility of the pile section... more
This paper is an attempt to discuss the nonlinear seismic responses, damage evolution and control of multi-story buildings supported by rafted piles or only raft in liquefiable soil foundation. Here, group piles driven in fully saturated... more
The Direct Shear test has been performed following an experimental approach in order to obtain more simplified and less time consuming method of performing direct shear test to evaluate the shear strength parameter of... more
This study investigates the effect of the location of an O-cell hydraulic jack along the length of a drilled shaft in a full-scale Osterberg test performed in soils containing layers of caliche. The location of the hydraulic jack with... more
