Flexible scour protection around cylindrical piles

This research focuses on the behaviour of a granular scour protection around piles when the bed is subjected to bed degradation. Furthermore, engineering guidelines are provided to account for bed degradation in the design of the initial scour protection. To address the behaviour of the protection, a physical model is used and to obtain the...

Laterally Loaded Piles, Models and Measurements

A thesis presented on the comparison between different geotechnical models for single piles, which are loaded laterally at the top, on the basis of field measurements. The considered models are Blum, Brinch Hansen, Broms, the Characteristic Load Method, the Nondimensional Method, the Single Pile Module of MSheet, p-y Analysis by MPile and Finite...
