Winkler springs (p-y curves) for liquefied soil from element tests (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rouholamin, M., Bhattacharya, S., & Lombardi, D. (2014, September). Winkler springs (p-y curves) for liquefied soil from element tests. Presented at International Symposium on Geomechanics from Micro and Macro

In practice, piles are most often modelled as "Beams on Non-Linear Winkler Foundation" (also known as “p-y spring” approach) where the soil is idealised as p-y springs. These p-y springs are obtained through semi-empirical approach using element test... Read More about Winkler springs (p-y curves) for liquefied soil from element tests.
