SEISMIC AND QUASI-STATIC LATERAL LOAD BEHAVIOR OF PILE GROUPS IN IMPROVED SOFT CLAY: CENTRIFUGE AND NUMERICAL MODELING
(2015-12-18)
In the design of pile foundations subjected to lateral loading, one of the objectives is to restrict the lateral displacements. Improving the soil surrounding the pile foundation is an innovative and cost-efficient solution ...
DEVELOPMENT OF A PROTOTYPE IN-SITU FATIGUE SENSOR FOR STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING OF HIGHWAY BRIDGES
(2010)
Fatigue damage to bridges has been identified as a threat to bridge safety. Fatigue cracks usually occur at stresses lower than the anticipated design stress levels. Unlike yielding or corrosion, fatigue cracks are seldom ...
Soil-Structure Interaction Studies for Understanding the Behavior of Integral Abutment Bridges
(2013)
Integral Abutment Bridges (IABs) are increasingly being used to eliminate undesirable effects of bridge joints on the long-term performance of bridges. Behavior of abutments in IABs is, however, poorly understood. ...
