Effects of Liquefaction on Lateral Pile Responses
The potential significance of the impact of liquefaction on the dynamic response of pile foundations has been studied through a numerical study. Results of this study demonstrated that...
Dynamic Parameters Analysis of Piles
This paper presents an analysis for the dynamic parameters of a single pile. The analysis allows consideration of pile-soil interaction, soil natural layered behavior and floating pile...
Soil-Pile-Superstructure System in Liquefaction
To obtain the dynamic behavior of the soil-pile-superstructure system in a liquefied sand layer, shaking table tests by using large scale shear bin (4m in length, 2m in width and 2m in...

Dallas Goes Trenchless
Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) has stopped relying solely on traditional open-cut trenching methods. Instead, we look to trenchless technologies to minimize costs and disruption to the public....
Rehabbing the Rails
In 1984, during a routine bridge inspection, a worker detected deterioration under the south abutment of a bridge that carried the main line of Philadelphia's commuter railroad....
Overlays on Deck
By the summer of 1993, a standard specification may be on the books for polymer concrete bridge-deck overlays�a high-tech rehab technique requiring a combination of plastic binder�such...
Minipile Milestone in Memphis
The maintenance/administration facility for Memphis, Tennessee's 300-bus fleet began displaying structural problems before it even opened for service in 1979. The 23 acre...
A Face-Lift for Lincoln
The 45-year-old Lincoln Tunnel is undergoing a sweeping rehab�from its ceiling on down to its roadway. Each of the three tubes (in the world's only three-tube underwater vehicular...
HOV Lessons
As traffic congestion worsens, transportation planners are struggling to squeeze out every last bit of available roadway capacity. High-occupancy vehicle lanes are one solution, but aren't...
Engineering Pre-engineered Buildings
Pre-engineered buildings have become more sophisticated. There are several manuals and guides on how to engineer the so-called pre-engineered structures, but none are complete. There are...
Improving Specifications
Ambiguous and unclear specifications cause confusion, disagreements, and, often, lawsuits. All too frequently the writer is at fault for not making clear exactly what he or she means....
Out with the Old
When the Sunshine Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay, Fla., was partially destroyed in an accident twelve years ago, officials at the Florida Department of Transportation decided to replace...
Gabions and Geogrids
The century-old gabion concept can be improved upon by adding geogrid reinforcement to the soil embankments the gabion wall is designed to support. The grids add stability to the embankment...
