...S. Yang; D. Huang; G. Wang; F. Jin The recent 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquakes have highlighted that liquefaction-induced settlements can lead to significant damage to overlying infrastructure. During the post-shaking stages, the excess pore water pressures dissipated at the end of the earthquake...

... in a centrifuge test. Validation work was carried out by comparing the ground settlement between the centrifuge model test results and the field results, and reasonable agreement was obtained. The experimental results show that grouting slurry with low fluid loss and high viscosity is more conducive...

... database’ for driven piles in sand piles & piling sands settlement A joint industry project (JIP) was set up in 2013 by the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) to examine the reliability of a range of existing methods employed for evaluation of the axial capacity of driven piles...

...J. J. Crispin; C. P. Leahy; G. Mylonakis Analytical closed-form solutions are developed for the elastic and elasto-plastic settlement of axially loaded piles in inhomogeneous soil. The soil is modelled by way of a bed of Winkler (‘t–z’) springs with stiffness varying as a power...

...H. Peiffer Axially loaded open-ended pipe piles can collapse in two fundamentally different ways, with or without plug formation. The factors that determine plug formation are generally not yet very well understood or described. A new model is developed to predict the settlement behaviour of large...

... characteristics and the measured time–settlement curve. The proposed method for the determination of smear zone extent can be carried out during consolidation with minimum disturbance to soil, provided a sufficient number of pore pressure transducers are installed. It also eliminates the need for a number of soil...

... elasto-plastic porous medium, is briefly introduced first. It is then used to analyse the field test, including a sensitivity analysis to study the uncertainty of the model in simulating the test. The results of the numerical analyses are found to be consistent with measurements of the ground settlement...
