Failure of a corroded pile closed Larivot bridge and divided French Guiana
The Larivot highway bridge is 1225m long and carries a two-lane road over the Cayenne tidal river in the department of French Guiana. Following the discovery in... -
Experimental study of the effect of inclined pile on the seismic behaviour of...
Seismic behavior of inclined piles has been considered detrimental for years. However, recent researches show that battered piles can have a beneficial effect. In this... -
Numerical modeling of centrifuge cyclic lateral pile load experiments
To gain insight into the inelastic behavior of piles, the response of a vertical pile embedded in dry sand and subjected to cyclic lateral loading was studied... -
Centrifuge modelling of raked piles
Inclined piles are prohibited by many codes in seismic areas. Nevertheless the battered effect has not yet been clarified because very few data are available. The... -
Centrifuge Modelling of foundations subjected to cyclic loading
Soil-structure interaction is one of the main topics that may be studied using centrifuge modeling technique. Small-scale models of instrumented foundation subjected... -
Pieu sous charge latérale : Développement de lois de dégradation pour prendre...
A l’origine, le dimensionnement des pieux sous une charge latérale supposait que le sol est entièrement à l’état de rupture (calcul aux états limites). Les méthodes de...
