Foundation engineering has continually sought to understand the behavior of piles subjected to loads and their influence on the overall structural behavior. Recently, more load tests are being performed in construction due to the recommendations of the NBR6122/2010 Brazilian code. The available literature offers few reports on pile behavior in a faulty ...

Determining the damage of rocks after freeze-thaw cycles is an important subject for natural building rocks used in cold regions. Freeze-thaw test is an important method for determining the deteriorations of stones due to freeze-thaw action. To understand the mechanisms of rock deterioration in cold regions, the electrical impedance spectroscopy techniq...

Urban excavations are frequently performed using anchored retaining walls. Overall stability is an important stability verification in such walls and is significantly influenced by geometrical and mechanical characteristics of the wall, of the anchors and of the soil. In the present work, particular emphasis is given to the role of the embedded length i...

This paper advances understanding of the key parameters controlling unconfined compressive strength (qu) of lime stabilized fine-grained soils by considering distinct specimen porosities (η), different lime types and contents and several curing temperatures and time periods. A sole empirical relationship is proposed establishing the normalized unconfine...
