TL;DR: Hong Kong University (HKU) method as discussed by the authors is a new method for estimating the base capacity of open-ended steel pipe piles in sand, a difficult problem involving great uncertainty in pile foundation design.
Abstract: This paper presents a new method for estimating the base capacity of open-ended steel pipe piles in sand, a difficult problem involving great uncertainty in pile foundation design. The method, referred to as the Hong Kong University (HKU) method, is based on the cone penetration test (CPT), and takes into consideration the mechanisms of annulus and plug resistance mobilization. In this method the annulus resistance is properly linked to the ratio of the pile length to the diameter—a key factor reflecting the influence of pile embedment—whereas the plug resistance is related to the plug length ratio, which reflects the degree of soil plugging in a practical yet rational way. The cone tip resistance is averaged over a zone in the vicinity of the pile base by taking into account the failure mechanism of the piles in sand, the condition of pile embedment (i.e., full or partial embedment), and the effect of soil compressibility. The predictive performance of the new method is assessed against a number ...

TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of a shallow tunnel in soft soil under seismic conditions by using the finite element (FE) analysis was analyzed and a series of parametric studies were carried out by varying the tunnel embedment ratio, soil-tunnel interface conditions, lining thickness, shape of the tunnel, and input ground motion.
