| Abstract: |
The Damietta Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) tank farm is situated in the lower Nile Valley, in an area prone to earthquakes. The design of the piles was based on a combination of various in situ surveys, using mainly Ménard PMT. The results of vertical and horizontal load tests showed good agreement with predictions based on Ménard PMT direct design methods. |
