Sentence examples for length of pile from inspiring English sources
The effect of various design parameters and the free length of pile, which could be either by design or caused by scour, are studied.
The development of steel sheetpiling has kept ahead of the development of hammers capable of driving it, probably because the stiffer the section is, the greater the length of pile that can be incorporated in a design.
The pile was discretised with 14 elements of same size along the length of pile.

Also, the optimal length of piles for higher speed moving loads is shorter than that for lower speed moving loads.
From the accomplished studies, it has been concluded that as the length of piles and number of piles decrease, the load carried by raft increases.
The theoretical capabilities of the Parallel Seismic (PS) test for determining the length of piles and characterizing possible defects are investigated in this paper.
Importantly, the plastic hinge length of piles extending through liquefiable layers is observed to be much larger than that of non-liquefiable conditions (on an average 1.4 times).
The distributed strains along the full length of piles were measured using fiber optic sensor (FOS) system based on Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) technology.
A parametric study was subsequently conducted to examine the effect of the soil shear strength parameters and wind speed (random variables) on the design parameters (number and length of piles and radius of raft).
These parameters include number of granular piles, modular ratio (i.e., stiffness of granular piles/stiffness of the weak soil), stiffness of granular layer, diameter of granular piles, length of granular piles, arrangement of granular piles, and granular piles of different diameters.
