Piled rafts are increasingly being used to support different heavy infrastructure facilities. The
total resistance of piled raft is cumulative of shallow component, ie, raft and deep …

In piled raft foundations, the bearing capacity is the result of the combination of the
resistance of the pile group and the contribution of the contact between the pile cap and the …

This paper presents a field study on the axial behavior of new configuration of steel pipe
micropiles in tropical lateritic soil. The micropiles were installed following a two-step grouting …

Building foundations using pile groups generally assume that the piles absorb the entire
load of the structure. However, it is known that pile caps rest not only on the piles but also on …

In recent years, the study of piled foundations has gained increasingly more attention within
the geotechnical community. There are different methods in the literature for calculating this …

Nesta pesquisa investigou-se o comportamento de fundações assentes em solo tropical de
Uberlândia, compostas por sapata estaqueada e seus elementos isolados de sapata e …

This article explores the behaviour of single piled raft units and their components (raft and
pile) under axial compression through experimental and numerical analysis. Prototypes …

The use of micropiles has been increasing in recent years, mostly for horizontally loaded
cases. Given the little information about this foundation type under lateral top-loading …

Calibrating a numerical model is an indispensable step in ensuring the reliability of
numerically derived results. The constant evolution of highly advanced computational tools …

This article presents a numerical model and analyses of the dynamic response of structures
supported by groups of piles. The model uses a finite element discretization to represent …
