Uplift capacity of circular piles in sands is one important design parameter for many pile
foundations supporting important structures subjected to tensile forces. Even though a …

Skins with asymmetric kirigami scales and soft spikes are integrated to the surface of a base
self‐burrowing robot, which consists of a soft one‐segment extending actuator. Friction …

A large volume of research reporting the pull-out behaviour of root systems is available, but
no study has considered the effects of soil drainage. This work implemented a modified …

The stability of tunnel-type anchorages is related to the stratum lithology and geological
conditions of the anchorage sites. The bearing behavior of tunnel-type anchorages in soft …

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 …

This paper presents an application of two advanced approaches, Artificial Neural Networks
(ANN) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in predicting the axial pile capacity. The …

The caisson foundation has evolved into a suitable alternative foundation for offshore
structures, specifically for offshore wind turbines (OWT). The OWT caisson foundations are …

Field pull out test results of 500 kV double‐circuit line of Luping‐Fule are presented in this
paper to investigate the uplift bearing behavior of rock‐socketed belled short piles. A …

The construction of steel pipe piles combined with side grouting is regarded as an effective
way to improve the uplift bearing capacity of piles for transmission towers in rugged …

The study of ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) of uplift piles in combined soil and rock mass is
of great significance in engineering. In order to study the UBC of uplift piles in combined soil …
