Abstract:Under the action of vertical loading, batter piles rarely appear individually, as they undergo horizontal and vertical displacements at the same time and produce a sizeable additional bending moment. However, previous studies have mainly focused on a single batter pile, which is inconsistent with engineering practices. Although single pile tests can easily reveal its working behavior, they also ignore two important factors, namely, the internal force redistribution caused by the deformation limitation of the m… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
