... bearing factors. model tests pipes & pipelines soil/structure interaction Oil and gas pipelines have been constructed across slopes in the western Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. They are buried in compacted soil at shallow depths with covers of 1–4 m in thickness. Due...

...Hendrik Louw, MEng (Pret); Elsabe Kearsley, PhD (Leeds); Schalk Willem Jacobsz, PhD (Cantab) The design of pile foundations to accommodate horizontal loads is a complex soil−structure interaction problem. Current small-scale laboratory testing of pile foundations is mostly focused on metal piles...
