Simplified calculation method for settlement of necking piles accounting for pile-soil interaction in the necking zone

Existing calculation methods often neglect the pile-soil interaction within the necking zone, leading to inaccuracies in predicting the settlement of necking piles. Through transparent soil model tests, the deformation mechanism of the soil around necking piles was investigated....

The particle size effect on the uplift capacity of shallow circular plate anchors in sand using DEM

To address the inherent particle size effect (PSE) in physical and DEM modeling, 3D DEM models of shallow circular plate anchors in sand were developed using PFC3D. Following validation against centrifuge data, the influence of the effective plate diameter-to-mean particle size r...
