Pile foundations are critical structural components that transfer building loads to deeper, more stable soil or rock layers. Research in this field encompasses both experimental studies and innovative ...

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 ...

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 ...

On many projects in the southeast, pile-supported footings are a staple. Numerous pile systems have been developed and utilized across the region, and one that is gaining increased attention in the ...

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 ...
