The emergence of the discrete element method (DEM) provides a powerful tool to
investigate the macro–micro mechanism of soil-structure interface (SSI). Understanding the …

Corner breakage was less analyzed in pile–soil interaction research, causing the
mechanism of particular pile load behaviors in coral sand to remain unclear. This study …

Although particle corner breakage has been proved to be the primary mode of particle
breakage for coral sand, current studies of pile penetration have continued to present the …

Although particle corner breakage has proven to be the major breakage mode of irregular
grains, most pile–soil interaction analysis has focused on particle fracture breakage, thus the …

The study presents an innovative hybrid machine learning model tailored for predicting the
load-displacement characteristics of bored piles, specifically those integral to high-rise …

The effect of breakable particle corners is often overlooked in research on pile–soil
interaction, which hinders the understanding of the uplift pile behaviors in calcareous sand …

The traditional design method for drilled shafts rarely considers the influence of construction
effect and tip resistance on side resistance, and lacks attempts to improve the performance …

The micro-to macro-scale pipeline-soil interaction mechanism in unsaturated granular soil
remains unclear. This study investigates the unsaturated suction effect on the pipeline-soil …

The capacity of open-ended piles strongly depends on the potential plugging occurring
during installation. The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is particularly suitable to the study …

The micromechanical mechanism of upward pipe-soil interaction in unsaturated soil remains
unresolved. This study investigates the upward pipe-soil interactions in dry and unsaturated …
