Helical piles are used mainly to resist tension forces generated by uplift and overturning
moments of various structures, therefore they have been suggested as a potential alternative …

This paper presents and discusses the measured responses of single and grouped helical
piles to strong ground motions during a large-scale shake table testing program. The effects …

The offshore deployment of floating offshore structures such as wind turbines or wave
energy converters is expected to strongly increase during the next decade, to face the …

The use of piles, helical anchors, in general, helical foundations has considerably increased
in the last 30 years. The adoption of this technology in the international and domestic codes …

Upscaled screw piles have been proposed as anchors for offshore floating wind
applications, but this upscaling can result in a significant increase in vertical installation …

This paper investigates the behavior of geocell-reinforced beds combined with extra vertical
elements embedded into the geocell pockets at their joints. During repeated loading, the soil …

Helical foundations used in transmission towers, wind turbines, solar panel systems and
other similar structures must exhibit adequate performance under cyclic loading. Although a …

Plate anchors are commonly used to resist static, cyclic, and monotonic post-cyclic uplift
loads. Under cyclic loading, progressive sudden failure may occur, characterized by …

Full-scale shake table testing was conducted to evaluate the seismic performance of single
and grouped helical piles. Eight circular and one square helical piles with different …

Geotechnical properties can evolve throughout the design life of a structure due to actions
imposed during installation, the operational life or late and end of life management of an …
