The standard finite element method (SFEM) can model stiffened deep cement mixing
(SDCM) columns, which are soil-cement columns reinforced with a stiff core, by discretizing …

The numerical analysis of many geotechnical problems involves a high number of structural
elements, leading to extensive modelling and computational effort. Due to its exceptional …

The numerical simulation of boundary value problems involving a high number of pile-type
structures, such as pile foundation systems of high-rise buildings, represents a standard task …

To figure out the influence of soft-hard layer thickness ratio on specimens' mechanical

The batter rock-socketed pile (BRSP) groups have been gradually introduced in practice to
support not only the vertical load caused by overlying infrastructures but also the horizontal …

Seismic retrofitting of existing bridges has been in practice for years to meet the stringent
seismic requirements set forward by revised design codes. For retrofitting, however, bridge …

The performance of passive battered piles resisting the embankment-induced lateral soil
movements may differ from that of the active battered pile and axially loaded existing vertical …

Micropiles possess a remarkable adaptability that allows them to function effectively as both
a novel foundation and a sustainable solution for existing foundations, offering numerous …
