Although the levels of ground strain are less than that associated with earthquakes, man-made ground vibration can have wide reaching consequences for the serviceability and durability of structures. While there are a number of publications in the areas of soil dynamics, earth...

Changes in vehicle weight limits and revisions to safety standards inevitably increase the demands placed on bridges. Increases in traffic flow seen over the past years also mean that many bridges are carrying much greater loads than their designers ever anticipated. Followi...

During the 1980's a number of high quality, large scale pile tests, sponsored by the offshore industry, Department of Energy and EEC, were performed at onshore locations in clays similar to those encountered in installations in the North Sea. At the same time research was bei...
