This research compares theoretical methods with static pile load test results to identify the most effective approaches for determining pile capacity across various soil and pile types, while also ...

This study proposes a millimeter-wave radar telemetry method for measuring bridge dynamic deflection, addressing limitations in traditional dynamic strain measurement methods. The method was validated ...

Civil engineers at Purdue University are leading a project with the Indiana Department of Transportation to learn how to use a type of bridge pile often seen in offshore applications, research that ...

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 ...

A review of the previous report prepared for NCHRP Project 12-116, “Proposed AASHTO Specifications for Design of Piles for Downdrag” (Rollins 2019), and the broader literature was completed by the ...
