This paper demonstrates the influence of pile head freedom on the thermomechanical
performance of a belled pile. Field tests on the belled pile response to a cooling–heating …

This paper describes the displacement and force behavior of a braced deep excavation
under unsymmetrical surcharge effect. The horizontal displacements and bending moments …

The present study is about under-reamed pile subjected to uplift forces. They are known to
be very effective especially against uplift forces. The objective is to develop a simple design …

The recent surge of interest towards the mechanical response of rock mass produced by
tunnel‐type anchorage (TTA) has generated a handful of theories and an array of empirical …

Plate anchors are frequently used to provide resistance against uplift forces. This paper
describes the reinforcing effects of a geocell-reinforced soil layer on uplift behavior of anchor …

Bored root piles are a new type of pile in which the load-bearing capacity can be
significantly improved by jacking prefabricated roots into the soil through reserved holes. In …

This study examines the behaviour of square footings located on unreinforced, single-, and
double-layer geocell-reinforced sand slopes through a series of reduced-scale model tests …

Belled and multi-belled piles are cast-in-place piles with one or several bell-shaped
enlargements. In this study, centrifuge model tests were conducted to explore the bearing …

Screw-shaft piles have seen extensive adoption in construction and railroad engineering,
due to their superior enhanced bearing capacity and cost-effectiveness. While monopiles …

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 …
