A micro-scale (DEM) investigation on driven pile cycle behaviour Mar 1, 2014 - Jan 31, 2016
Structures such as bridges or wind turbines develop loads that have to be transmitted to the ground.
The loads can be static (self-weight) or dynamic (wind, wave or traffic loads) and may be significantly
large. Long piles are normally used to carr... Read More about A micro-scale (DEM) investigation on driven pile cycle behaviour.
