The concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) pile is a type of composite pile that offers a preferable
alternative to the traditional pile owing to its exceptional advantages. In this study, a new …

The growing tendency to study the behaviour of tapered piles in the last two decades has
made it necessary to gain a deeper insight into this specific kind of deep foundation …

Vertical impedance of a tapered pile embedded in the saturated viscoelastic half-space is
theoretically investigated with the consideration of construction disturbances in radial …

This paper presents a new mathematical approach for the analysis of a harmonically
vibrating, linear, elastic, tapered pile. The soil consists of a number of horizontal elastic …

In this article, the drivability of stepped and tapered offshore piles with the same length and
volume has been investigated under hammer blows. To justify the obtained results from field …

Tapered piles are used in place of cylindrical piles for their improved geotechnical
performance. When tapered piles are subjected to axial dynamic loading, as is the case with …

The tapered pile offers sustainable use of construction materials due to its higher axial and
lateral capacity and better performance owing to its geometry. This paper develops a semi …

A simplified model is proposed for predicting the nonlinear dynamic response of vertically
loaded tapered piles in the time domain, in which the tapered pile is divided into several …

A tapered pile (TP) is a new type of pile with a good bearing capacity, and scholars have
conducted in-depth research on its static bearing characteristics. However, there is relatively …

The theoretical models currently reported in the literature idealize a uniformly tapered pile as
a step-tapered pile to facilitate dynamic analysis. The step-taper idealization produces …
