Fibre composites have been a viable option in replacing traditional pile materials such as
concrete, steel and timber in harsh environmental conditions. However, driving composite …

This paper presents the results of axial load tests performed on instrumented model piles
pre-installed in a large-scale, half-circular chamber with a viewing window in its flat-side …

This paper presents the results of tensile load tests performed with instrumented model piles
with different surface roughnesses jacked into sand samples in a half-circular calibration …

This paper presents a new composite confinement system of FRP wrap and PVC tube with
and without an impact absorption medium (compressible foam) in between. The …

The use of basalt fiber–reinforced polymers (BFRP) in construction applications is relatively
new and, although its mechanical performance is expected to be similar to that of glass fiber …

The formulations for the lateral load–displacement (p–y) springs conventionally used for the
analysis of laterally loaded piles have been based largely on the back-analysis of the …

In their recent work Fakharifar and Chen (2016)[1] have introduced and validated a new
ductile design concept of confined concrete-filled polyvinyl-chloride tubular (CCFPT) …

Polymer-matrix composite structures in service may be affected by different environmental
conditions that modify their mechanical performance, thermal stability, and flammability …

Abstract On May 5, 2019, a truck-tractor-trailer loaded with six coils of steel crashed into a
pier column of the Dongguofenli Bridge located on the Yongjin Highway in Shengzhou …

The evaluation of the load-settlement behavior of piles is crucial in meeting the strength and
serviceability criteria for pile analysis and design. The most reliable approach for estimating …
