Sentence examples for groups of piles from inspiring English sources

The benefits of the new findings are demonstrated by means of a typical application from foundation-engineering: very well prepared dynamic stiffness coefficients for groups of piles are used in order to treat transient excitations caused by an unbalanced rotor during running-up.

Fifteen groups of piles support a continuous lattice girder, each set comprising four piles screwed into the river bed at an angle with an X-brace between each adjacent pair.

The variation of this rate for groups of pile threads is the basis for certain patterned effects resulting from the inclusion of both high and low pile areas or achieved by alternating two different coloured threads across the full width, emphasizing the pattern in one colour by hiding the other low-pile colour with higher adjacent loops.

Groups of piling installed in liquefaction- and lateral spreading-susceptible ground has been proven to be effective in reducing lateral displacements, but further investigation into the soil-structure interactions is required to elucidate the mechanisms for mitigation of displacement.

On the other hand, as the pile spacing increases the behavior of each pile in a group of piles will be as an individual pile.

In this method, the raft is considered as a plate supported by a group of piles and soil.

This comparison will inform design engineers of the difference in pile soil interaction between a single pile and a group of piles.

Current paper aims to study the response of a group of piles subjected to liquefaction-induced lateral spreading using a large scale 1-g shake table test.

In addition, distribution of lateral soil pressure on piles and displacement patterns around the piles are investigated in detail examining two main concepts affecting the lateral soil pressures on a group of piles, namely shadow and neighboring effects.

Pile-supported structures commonly found in both offshore (e.g. offshore oil and gas platforms) and coastal environments (e.g. sea bridges, piers and jetties) are generally built by means of a group of piles in different arrangements.

In this paper, an alternative attempt is made herein to develop adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) models for predicting scour depth as well as scour width for a group of piles supporting a pier.
