Field experiments have demonstrated that piles driven into sand can respond to axial cyclic loading in Stable, Unstable or Meta-Stable ways, depending on the combinations of mean and cyclic loads and the number of cycles. ...

This paper presents and discusses Ménard Pressuremeter test results used to predict bearing capacity of pounded piles installed in a tropical sandy soil. Fifteen pre-bored pressuremeter tests were carried out at the ...

Helical piles have advantages over other foundations systems, like high productivity and the possibility of receiving loads immediately after installation. These piles can be integrated into reaction systems for static ...

Concrete soldier piles anchored in multiple levels are the most common method for supporting deep excavations in gravel. Their static design is based on limit equilibrium principles, although these procedures were originally ...

Non-prismatic piles are typically used in cases where large lateral loads must be resisted. In many applications, these elements are implemented in partially and fully-embedded layered soils to improve the load transfer ...

Le facteur empirique de correlation du torque K(T), qui represente la capacite de soulevement du torque d`installation de pieux helicoidaux, est generalement utilise comme instrument de controle de la qualite sur le terrain ...
