Safety and reliability of anchored bulkhead walls
TL;DR: In this paper, the Coulomb theory of lateral earth pressure was applied to the design of anchored bulkheads to provide a safe penetration depth, reduced moment and anchor force based on reliability theory, and the results indicated that in some cases, depending on the variabilities of the design factors, a safety factor of 1.5 produced a low reliability and thus an unsafe design.

Analysis of interaction factors between two piles
Ming Cao,Longzhu Chen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a rigorous analytical method is presented for calculating the interaction factor between two identical piles subjected to vertical loads, where the problem is decomposed into an extended soil mass and two fictitious piles characterized respectively by Young's modulus of the soil and that of the difference between the pile and soil.
