Pile foundations support vital structures in regions prone to seismic activity, yet their performance in liquefiable soils remains complex and critical for safe design. Seismic shaking can induce ...

Negative skin friction (NSF) is an important phenomenon in geotechnical engineering, referring to the additional axial drag imposed on piles as a result of differential soil movement relative to the ...

Kelly is back on the job site today! Structural Systems, Inc. (SSI) recently utilized a helical pile deep foundation system to address significant structural concerns at a local residence, and ...

Below-grade waterproofing systems can be critical features of building enclosure design, particularly when the structure has a deep foundation. As the foundation goes deeper, there is a greater ...

His current work is conducted in avenues of basic research relevant to granular material behavior as well as applicable research related to pile design and construction. The basic research ...

A new thesis shows that wooden pile foundations show visible damage after only a year if the groundwater level lowers. This can cause settlements of buildings in a matter of a few years. As early as ...
