The dynamic behaviour of pile foundations under seismic loads has become a pivotal research focus in civil engineering, particularly in regions prone to earthquakes. Recent investigations have ...

Below-grade waterproofing systems can be critical features of building enclosure design, particularly when the structure has a deep foundation. As the foundation goes deeper, there is a greater ...

Yusuff Saidat, a mathematician and researcher, has made a groundbreaking discovery in foundation analysis, developing a novel method for pile foundation design that takes into account the complex ...

His current work is conducted in avenues of basic research relevant to granular material behavior as well as applicable research related to pile design and construction. The basic research ...

In the finished upgrade, problem areas are fully encapsulated with corrosion-protection systems from the concrete cap bottom to about 4 ft below the mud line. A 2013 inspection revealed a series of ...

An optimal coal pile design takes into account the site-specific (and often conflicting) needs of a new power plant early in its design — rather than using whatever land is available after the plant ...

The effect of sea level changes due to tidal action influences the design and operation of offshore water-disposal piles on offshore platforms. A disposal pile provides a last treatment step for ...
