In the past several years, there have been several fire incidents that have dramatically compromised the structural integrity of two heavily traveled New Jersey roadways: I-80 and …
To this end, in order to observe the effect of shaft spacing on the lateral load capacity of the individual shafts, two types of shaft groups were analyzed. The first group (I) includes two …
CONCLUSIONS A three dimensional finite element continuum model was developed for the lateral response of drilled shafts. The developed model included most of the parameters that …
➢ Physical properties of the modeled elements.➢ Interactions between the elements.➢ Loading and support conditions.➢ Possible geometric or physical imperfections. Two FE …
