Simplified design methods – Mitigation of lateral spread

Posted on March 18, 2018January 4, 2021

This article outlines the common design procedures used to evaluate the performance of geotechnical systems that are proposed for mitigation of lateral spreading. The design of any type of retaining structure generally includes; (i) global stability analysis, and (ii) internal stability analysis. In the former, general mass movement of a retaining structure as well the… Read More

Calculation of pile downdrag force based on Neutral Plane Method – C++ Code

Posted on March 6, 2018April 25, 2018

Long-term consolidation, seismic dry sand and liquefaction-induced settlements of a soil deposit can impart significant amount of downward load to piles. This load, called downdrag or negative skin friction, is caused by the friction between the pile and the downward moving soil. The magnitude of this force can be estimated by using neutral plane method… Read More
