While design methods of deep foundations are mainly developed for homogenous soil
deposits, the presence of highly cemented layers could lead to underestimation of …

Although soil is typically an unsaturated (three‐phase) medium, previous studies on the
dynamic impedance of pile groups primarily considered the piles embedded in either the …

Pile groups for the bridge and jacket foundations in the marine or traffic geotechnical
engineering are significantly influenced by the current scour in service. Under the effects of …

The construction of most geo-structures like earthfill dams, roads, highways, embankments,
and airport runways deals with the compaction of unsaturated soils under anisotropic …

The torsional dynamic response of a pile embedded in transversely isotropic saturated soil
is investigated while allowing for the construction of disturbance effect. The dynamic …

In shale gas development, fracture density is an important lithologic parameter to properly
characterize reservoir reconstruction, establish a fracturing scheme, and calculate porosity …

This paper first develops the closed-form solution of a layered halfspace subject to circular
ring concentrated loads. The layered halfspace consists of finite layers and a lower …

The characteristics of bridge pile-group foundation have a significant influence on the
dynamic performance of the superstructure. Most of the existing analysis methods for the pile …

This paper presents a novel numerical-analytical method for dynamics of piles embedded in
non-homogeneous transversely isotropic soils. In the method proposed, the piles are …
