Idealization of pile to pile-cap connection with respect to lateral loads
… thesis is concerned with study of behavior of pile to pile-cap connection with respect to lateral loads. In this connection prestressed precast concrete piles and reinforced concrete pile caps were given particular attention.

Dynamic analyses of pile driving
Several approaches to the dynamic analyses of pile driving are explored in this Thesis. These include pile driving formulae, single degree of freedom (SDOF) models, the wave equation approach and a finite element model. In the elementary models, the pile is modelled as a rigid mass while the soil …

Laterally Loaded Pile Cap Connections
… appropriate connection details between driven piles and pile caps. Prior research on the subject suggests that given a proper embedment length, a specialized reinforced connection may not be necessary. Eliminating these costly connection details could save thousands of dollars on both labor and …

The India-Asia pile up
… The most appropriate rotation data was compiled to build a new plate reconstruction of India's motion relative to Eurasia. This reconstruction implies the velocity of the Indian plate was episodic over the past 100 Ma. The episodes of plate acceleration and deceleration correspond with the …

Sustainable slow maintained pile load test
… by contractors in Malaysia to ensure the driven pile could accommodate the design load of the structure. Slow maintained load test is a test to determine load-settlement curve and pile capacity for a period of time using conventional load test. Conventional static pile load test equipment is …

Investigations of Pile Foundations in Brownfields
… to clean, improve and protect the environment. Piles foundations are often used in Brownfields to support structures. Regulators are concerned about the environmental safety of pile foundations in Brownfields sites. Piling in Brownfields may lead to transport of contaminants from the …

Seismic performance of pile-reinforced slopes
… of discretely spaced vertical precast concrete piles. This study focussed on permanent movement and dynamic response at different positions within the slope, especially at the crest, which would form key inputs into the aseismic design of supported infrastructure. In contrast to previous …

Seismic Behavior of Pile -Supported Bridges
… interaction in seismic analysis of pile-supported bridges. The proposed model is applied to perform seismic performance evaluation of the Cairo Bridge for different excitation intensities and to identify an appropriate retrofit strategy for the bridge. Applications of the pile group …

The Effect of Continuous Flight Auger Pile Installation on the Soil-Pile Interface in the Mercia Mudstone Group
… changes that occur to in situ soil at the soil-pile interface for continuous flight auger piles installed in the Mercia Mudstone Group. Four Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) piles were installed in the Gunthorpe Member of the Mercia Mudstone Group, central England. The effect on the soil-pile …

Behavior and efficiency of perimeter pile groups
Groups of piles are commonly used as high capacity foundations. It is recognised that the load distribution among piles in a group will vary and it is thought that the inner piles are likely to make a relatively small contribution to the total load carried. The essence of the research undertaken is …

Characterization of the MIT Graphite Exponential Pile
Subcritical graphite piles were originally built as an important tool for determining diffusion length and criticality in the early days of nuclear engineering. MIT still retains a graphite exponential pile, recently recommissioned back into service, and utilized by students for hands-on …
