• Dynamic p-y Model for Laterally Loaded Piles near Clay Slope (2026) · Applied Sciences · doi

  Further studies can investigate the effects of other loading parameters and pile parameters on the dynamic response of piles near slopes. The dynamic p-y curve model can be extended to consider other types of soils and loading conditions.

• Analysis of Tension Piles Supporting Large Structures Using Parabolic Soil Model and Elastic–Perfectly Plastic Pile Material (2026) · Infrastructures · doi

  The inability of the soil to resist tensile stress and the importance of downward skin friction and self-weight of the piles are not well understood. Prior numerical models have limitations in capturing the behavior of tension piles. There is a need for a numerical model that can accurately analyze the response of vertical piles subjected to tensile loads.

• EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON BEARING RESISTANCE OF SHORT DISPLACEMENT PILE GROUPS IN DENSE SANDS (2019) · Journal of Civil Engineering and Management · cited 13× · doi

  Resistance predictions for pile group foundations is a complex problem, which may be the reason for scattered and insufficient information available despite numerous experimental and numerical studies, predominated by the focus on partial empirical relationships.

• Experimental investigation of ultimate lateral resistance of superstructure–steel pipe pile foundation–soil systems considering local buckling–induced strength deterioration of pile members (2026) · Engineering Structures · doi

  Although the lateral resistance of single piles and pile groups has been widely studied, a rational framework for evaluating the ultimate lateral resistance of superstructure–pile foundation–soil systems while accounting for local buckling–induced strength deterioration is still lacking.
