TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive experimental study of pile cap resistance under lateral load is presented, and the parametric study of the pile-soil-cap interaction under lateral loads is performed on different pile groups.
Abstract: The pile foundation resists not only the loads from the superstructure, but also the large lateral forces from other sources such as earthquakes, wind, wave, etc. The pile cap is a crucial structural element in a pile foundation that is often massive and deeply buried, and design to provide significant resistance under the lateral loads. In this paper, a comprehensive experimental study of pile cap resistance under lateral load is presented. The parametric study of pile–soil–cap interaction under lateral load is performed on different pile groups. This study shows that the pile cap contributes approximately good amount of lateral resistance.

TL;DR: In this paper, preliminary results from a series of blast tests within a buried pipeline are reported, mainly focused on the characterization of the site, providing an insight into the effects of different basting events in terms of soil mechanical parameters.
Abstract: Preliminary results from a series of blast tests within a buried pipeline are reported. The paper is mainly focused on the characterization of the site, providing an insight into the effects of different basting events in terms of soil mechanical parameters. The blasts have been monitored by means of accelerometers embedded in the ground and placed on the ground surface. The recorded acceleration time histories show a strong attenuation as the wave travels away from the source.

TL;DR: The Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) as mentioned in this paper is the world's most powerful solar research telescope with a 4 m off-axis aspherical primary mirror, integrated adaptive optics, low scattered light, infrared coverage and state-of-the-art post focus instrumentation.
Abstract: With a 4 m off-axis aspherical primary mirror, integrated adaptive optics, low scattered light, infrared coverage, and state-of-the-art post focus instrumentation, the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) will be the world's most powerful solar research telescope. In order to achieve the required performance specifications of the telescope, the ATST project selected an alt-az telescope mount to support and position the major optic assemblies. In addition, the telescope incorporates a large diameter (16.4m) coude rotator lab that is capable of supporting multiple large instrument assemblies. This lab can rotate about its azimuth axis independent of the alt/az mount above it. In this paper, we describe an overview of the telescope structure, discuss the basic design parameters, and summarize the results of initial finite element analyses. The results include static analyses (gravity and average static wind loading), telescope natural modes, dynamic response to wind loadings, and a seismic loading analysis. Image motion at the instrument focal plane is also calculated based on line of sight (LOS) sensitivity equations integrated into the finite element models.

TL;DR: In this article, a finite element computer program was used and the pile was modeled as a beam-on-elastic foundation, where the stiffness of each spring was considered to be linearly variable with depth.
Abstract: In this study, the necessity of reinforcement in concrete pile (bored or driven) is assessed. The soil was assumed to be unsaturated and homogeneous sandy soil. Throughout the study, a finite element computer program was used and the pile was modeled as a beam-on-elastic foundation. The soil is represented by discrete spring. The stiffness of each spring is considered to be linearly variable with depth. The moment loading, lateral loading, pile length, pile diameter, in addition to the angle of internal friction and soil density were taken as parameter to study their effect on the extent of reinforcement along the pile shaft. It is concluded that for piles embedded in sand, a length of reinforcement not less than 40% of pile length for bored piles and 20% for driven piles is needed.

  • ...Bowles (1988) stated that, for bored piles, the reinforcing bars may be required only in the upper region for moments that are carried by the shaft, because these moments dissipate with depth are hence the shaft load is primarily axial at about L/2. At this depth, temperature changes are not great; therefore, longitudinal and spiral reinforcements are not required. Tomlinson and Woodward (2008) stated that reinforcement is not needed in bored piles unless uplift loads are to be carried (uplift may occur due to the swelling and shrinkage of clays)....
