The research focus of this paper is directed to investigate the behavior of a single model pile
and pile groups in sand under both saturated and unsaturated conditions. Forty different …

Foundations of some structures such as transmission towers, mooring systems for ocean
surface or submerged platforms, tall chimneys, jetty structures are subjected to uplift loading …

The purpose of this research is to determine the capability of (and the factors which affect the
performance of) an enlarged base pier in resisting uplift capacity. Experiments were …

Pile foundation is an economic foundation system for supporting overhead power lines and
resisting the large uplift force under high-intensity wind effects. However, the failure mode …

Granular pile anchor (GPA) is a relatively new foundation technique that is found to be
effective in resisting uplift forces in expansive soils. GPA can be utilized as an economical …

Although belled piles have been widely applied to structures subjected to large horizontal
loads, such as coastal structures, high chimneys, and transmission towers, their uplift …

The thick sandstone with an upper layer of clay (2 m to 3 m) was identified at the
transmission line projects in western China. Tower foundations are affected by extreme …

Anchor piles are widely used in marine aquaculture, and the safety is largely determined by
the uplift resistance capacity, especially in harsh ocean environments. However, there are …

The design and construction of cast-in situ piles rely heavily on the proper evaluation of the
end-bearing and skin friction behavior of piles by in situ loading test. In this study, distributed …

This article illustrates experimentally the effect of the groundwater level rising on the soil pile
interaction under uplift load. A series of model test for piles embedded in partially …
