    • Appraising stone column settlement prediction methods using finite element analyses 

      Sexton, Brian G.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Castro, Jorge (Springer Verlag, 2014-09-26)
      Numerous approaches exist for the prediction of the settlement improvement offered by the vibro-replacement technique in weak or marginal soil deposits. The majority of the settlement prediction methods are based on the ...

    • Assessment of Tc-99 monitoring within the western Irish Sea using a numerical model 

      Olbert, Agnieszka Indiana; Hartnett, Michael; Dabrowski, Tomasz (Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2010-05-26)
      Water circulation patterns and associated material transport within a highly dynamic system such as the Irish Sea are complex phenomena. Although Tc-99 monitoring programme undertaken by the Radiological Protection Institute ...

    • Numerical modelling of pile foundation angular distortion 

      Sheil, Brian B.; McCabe, Bryan A. (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 ...

    • Pile group settlement estimation: suitability of nonlinear interaction factors 

      McCabe, Bryan A.; Sheil, Brian B. (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 ...

    • Stone column settlement performance in structured anisotropic clays: the influence of creep 

      Sexton, Brian G.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Karstunen, Minna; Sivasithamparam, Nallathamby (Elsevier, 2016-07-15)
      The recently developed elasto-viscoplastic Creep-SCLAY1S model has been used in conjunction with PLAXIS 2D to investigate the effectiveness of vibro-replacement in a creep-prone clay. The Creep-SCLAY1S model accounts for ...
