This paper describes a new method for evaluating the axial capacity of driven piles in
siliceous sand using CPT qc data. The method is shown to provide better predictions than …

Offshore and land-based structures represent large capital investments. They are designed
to withstand various types of environmental loads such as earthquakes, winds, ocean …

The expansion of urban development into increasingly marginal sites, and the invention of
new pile construction techniques, make the economics of deep foundations increasingly …

The paper presents the results of a series of field tests performed to study the causes of
friction fatigue experienced by displacement piles. Four instrumented model piles were …

Geotechnical engineering has matured sufficiently to contribute to resolving some of
society's grand challenges. The 56th Rankine Lecture considered one of the most pressing …

This paper describes a new approach to represent the effects of time on the shaft friction of
displacement piles in sand. The proposal is based on the findings from pile test programmes …

This book provides a comprehensive guide for the analysis and design of anchor systems
used for mooring offshore floating structures. Much of the experience is based on …

Establishing the stress conditions developed around displacement piles in sands is crucial
to improving the understanding and modeling of their behavior. High-quality experiments …

Since piles are one of the major geotechnical foundation systems, estimation of their axial
bearing capacity is of great importance. Employing different design methods, resulting in a …

This paper presents the results from a pile load testing program for a bridge construction
project in Louisiana. The testing includes two 54-in. open-ended spun cast concrete cylinder …
