Large-diameter open-ended piles (LDOEPs) are increasingly being used for support of
infrastructure projects. Yet, many of the methods in current use for predicting their capacity …

This work presents contributions to the numerical modelling of the installation process and
subsequent high-cyclic loading of piles, such as relevant for pile foundations for offshore …

The bearing capacity of shallow foundations is often calculated using the classical three-
term bearing capacity equation, containing bearing capacity factors and correction factors for …

This paper presents a new approach for measuring large deformations in geotechnical
experiments employing digital image correlation (DIC) or particle image velocity (PIV) …

Schmertmann's method is one of the traditional methods for estimating the settlement of
axially loaded footings in sand using cone penetration test (CPT) data. The method was …

This paper presents the results of a series of load tests performed on a half-strip model
footing (width B= 50 mm) placed on the surface of samples prepared with one of two uniform …

Bearing capacity calculation is an important part of shallow foundation design. The
expressions for the shape and depth factors available in the literature for bearing capacity …

The great challenge to study the application involving large deformations is a choice of
