Empirical correlations for the compression index of Irish soft soils
(ICE Institution of Civil Engineers, 2014-09-08)
Numerous correlations have been developed in the literature relating the compression index Cc of soft soils to simple index properties that serve as a useful reality check on oedometer test results. However, many of these ...
A finite element-based approach for predictions of rigid pile group stiffness efficiency in clays
(Springer Verlag, 2013-08-17)
This paper presents a finite element parametric study of several variables that affect the stiffness efficiency of rigidly capped pile groups with a view to developing a solution for preliminary design purposes. Previous ...
Biaxial loading of offshore monopiles: numerical modelling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016-05-18)
In this study, finite-element (FE) modeling was used to examine the influence of biaxial lateral loading of a monopile foundation. Two different soil models were adopted to investigate the influence of state-dependent and ...
Pile group settlement estimation: suitability of nonlinear interaction factors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015-06)
In this paper, predictions of pile settlement determined by appropriate superposition of two-pile interaction factors are compared with those computed from continuum analysis. A finite-element package is used in conjunction ...
Numerical modelling of pile foundation angular distortion
(Elsevier, 2015-05-16)
In this paper, the PLAXIS 3-D Foundation finite element (FE) software package, in conjunction with the nonlinear Hardening Soil (HS) constitutive model, is employed in an extensive parametric study of the angular distortion ...
An analytical approach for the prediction of single pile and pile group behaviour in clay
(Elsevier, 2016-02-21)
In this paper, the 't-z method' is employed to describe the nonlinear behaviour of a single pile and is used to obtain simplified predictions of pile group behaviour by considering the interaction between two-piles in ...
Discussion: Interaction factor for large pile groups
(ICE Publishing, 2016-09-27)
The authors present an interesting paper on the use of the interaction factor method (IFM) for
settlement analysis of large pile groups.
