The installation of such piles is generally made by equipment which records several significant installation parameters, as the torque M<sub>t</sub> and the axial force N, applied during the auger advancing step. In the auger retrieval stage other parameters that can influence the load-settlement performance of the pile are monitored. The paper presents a case study dealing with the CFA piles adopted as a foundation for a water treatment basin. In the paper first the equations governing the kinematical analysis of the augering and concreting stages of the pile construction are introduced. After the description of the test site with the subsoil conditions and the presentation of a typical sets of parameters recorded during pile installation the results of two pile loading tests to failure are reported. A new approach for determining the depth of the soil layers boundaries, based on the statistical analysis of CPT profiles with depth, is proposed and successfully applied confirming the qualitative geological analysis of the site. A further statistical analysis is carried out to find a robust correlation between the q<sub>c</sub> of the CPT and the torque M<sub>t</sub> needed to screw in depth the auger for pile construction. Finally, virtual CPT profiles generated from the torque M<sub>t</sub> recorded during the tested piles installation are used for piles bearing capacity calculations which are compared with the results of pile loading tests. The successful comparison reported in the paper is a first step to validate the proposal to use parameters recorded during augering to calculate and/or to confirm design values of the bearing capacity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21857,"journal":{"name":"Soils and Foundations","volume":"65 3","pages":"Article 101631"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144170332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the cyclic resistances appeared to fall into three bands: (a) little apparent reduction in cyclic resistance for pumice contents up to 40%, (b) a reduction in cyclic resistance of approximately 20% at pumice contents of 80% and higher, and (c) a transitional zone.

This study employs 3D-finite element (FE) analysis incorporating virtual interface elements to simulate the mobilised skin friction and plastic failure (slippage) of pile under ultimate loading. Static pile load tests on 4 different long and large bored piles (1–1.5 m in diameter and 70–80 m in length) embedded in the soft soil region of Mekong Delta are studied in detail through extensive instrumentation along the piles. The results are then used to not only explore load-transfer process, but also validate numerical modelling through a comprehensive process combining multiple-soil layers and −loading stages.

While foam is extensively utilized for soil conditioning in earth pressure balance (EPB) tunneling, the effects of organic and inorganic flocculants on the in–situ recycling potential of waste EPB shield muck containing residual foams remain underexplored. To bridge this gap, laboratory experiments were conducted using four flocculants: cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), nonionic polyacrylamide (NPAM), anionic polyacrylamide (APAM), and polyaluminum chloride (PACL), with an enhanced flocculation and press–filtration apparatus. The defoaming–flocculation–dewatering behavior of waste EPB shield muck was systematically investigated by evaluating key parameters, including residual foam height, defoaming ratio, antifoaming ratio, total suspended solids, turbidity, moisture content, and zeta potential, while accounting for both muck dry mass and fines content. Moreover, the microscopic structure of flocculates and filter cakes was characterized using nanoparticle size analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results reveal that CPAM exhibits constrained flocculation and dewatering efficiency, primarily attributed to diminished charge neutralization resulting from residual anionic surfactants. In contrast, PACL demonstrates superior dewatering performance compared to NPAM and APAM, but exhibits the lowest flocculation and foam–suppression efficiency. Additionally, a consistent linear negative correlation is identified between the flocculation and dewatering indices of EPB shield muck, independent of the flocculant type, whether organic or inorganic.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21857,"journal":{"name":"Soils and Foundations","volume":"65 3","pages":"Article 101625"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144069222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response to this, the present study introduces an advanced bi-axial apparatus designed for testing under both dry and submerged conditions, employing circular plastic rods to enable an analysis with detailed images. Furthermore, discrete element method (DEM) simulations are conducted to replicate analogous environments under varying gravity conditions. The results demonstrate that the configuration of the apparatus, which utilizes lighter materials, significantly diminishes the gravity-induced stress gradient, achieving near-zero effective mean stress in the submerged condition. Both laboratory tests and DEM simulations consistently show similar trends under different gravity settings, such as enhanced contractive behavior, reduced remaining mean stress, and reduced remaining stiffness during the liquefied state in lower gravity environments, resulting in a reduction in liquefaction resistance. These characteristics are attributed to the stimulated loss of inter-particle contacts and an increased number of unstable particles, resulting in weakened void- and contact-based fabrics against cyclic loading under lower gravity conditions.

Increasing the hydraulic loading amplitude leads to a larger eroded mass and more changes in permeability. Compared to non-eroded specimens, eroded specimens exhibit reduced shear strength and stiffness during compression tests, increased strain-softening, and contractive behavior. A post-test particle-size distribution analysis shows a significant increase in particles smaller than 0.425 mm within the eroded specimens’ midsection, in contrast to a reduction in the top section.
