• EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON BEARING RESISTANCE OF SHORT DISPLACEMENT PILE GROUPS IN DENSE SANDS (2019) · 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) · 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.
