Model Uncertainties in Foundation Design is unique in the compilation of the largest and the
most diverse load test databases to date, covering many foundation types (shallow …

The last 25 years have seen exponential growth in the use of helical piles and tiebacks.
Helical piles and tiebacks are now considered a standard of practice in the deep foundation …

The use of helical piles as a deep foundation option has considerably increased in the
recent years to support a variety of loads, from small loads for several applications such as …

Geotechnical design codes have been migrating toward reliability-based design (RBD)
concepts. ISO 2394 identified the characterization of model uncertainty as one of the critical …

An industry survey suggests an increasing application of high-displacement helical piles
with greater shaft and helix diameters to support various structures. In this paper, a database …

This study compiles 320 static-load tests to quantify the model factors in reliability-based
limit-state design of drilled shafts under axial loading. At ultimate limit-state, the model factor …

To account for uncertainties of load and resistance in a more rational way, reliability-based
design (RBD) concepts have been increasingly applied to design bridge foundations. One of …

This paper compiles 162 reliable field load tests for axially loaded driven piles in sand from
previous studies. The L 1–L 2 method is adopted to interpret the measured resistance from …

In this paper, a comparison is made of the axial bearing capacities estimated with pile load
tests and empirical methods for seven rock-socketed single cast-in-place piles constructed …

Even though the energy pile is known as an efficient dual-purpose system nowadays, the
interactive response under simultaneous mechanical and thermal loads requires further …
