Two methods are prescribed for identifying the location of the neutral plane and determining the amount of downdrag and resulting drag load. These two methods include Method A, an analysis method ...

Caves affected the load transfer mechanism of bridge pile foundation, and then the safety of the bridge was threatened. This study was to investigate the effect of karst cave under bridge pile ...

Several studies have extensively explored the axial (uplift and compressive) behavior of helical piles, while lateral behavior—an equally critical aspect in the design of foundation systems— remains ...
