Small- and large-scale model tests on the buckling property of slender pile

摘要: ABSTRACTSlender piles embedded in soft ground or liquefied soil may buckle under vertical load. In this paper, both small- and large-scale model tests are conducted to investigate the buckling mechanisms of a slender pile lateral earth pressure acting on pile. To observe pile, strain-controlled loading method is adopted apply When two ends hinged, same. It should be noted that applies only system with small ratio bending stiffness stiffness. An applied load increases an increasing head settlement until it reaches critical By further settlement, measured approaches test, (i.e., active passive) varies linearly ...
