Eventually, the bridge was replaced. Wick drains were installed for the replacement bridge embankments to accelerate settlements and pore pressure...

...Bipin K. Gupta; Mir Saqib A continuum-based formulation is reported for torsional dynamics of gravity-base, monopile and suction caisson foundations supporting offshore wind turbines (OWTs). The applicability of the formulation for OWT foundations is verified with rigorous formulations...

Using...

... of their energy transmission infrastructure. Overhead line equipment structures in the UK typically have pad and column or pyramidal foundations, with the critical loading case being tensile uplift. The design of new foundations and reassessment of existing structures often relies on simplistic and conservative...

..., and some dynamic tests. Response of the piled foundations comprising 399 bored piles supporting three 70-storey towers on a common mat was monitored. Records consist of results of a static loading test, dynamic tests of four piles, the development of load in 15 piles, and settlement of 40 points during...

...Priyanka Bhartiya; Dipanjan Basu; Tanusree Chakraborty A method for the estimation of the non-linear, time-dependent settlement of piled raft foundations (PRFs) embedded in saturated clayey soils subjected to uniformly distributed load under the single-drainage condition was developed. A total...
