A number of studies report substantial increases in the shaft capacity of piles driven in sand, known as pile ageing. The offshore industry has been slow to implement ageing into practice because of uncertainty over the mechanisms...

To investigate the differences in failure mechanisms beneath vertically loaded shallow foundations on silica and carbonate sands by way of particle image velocimetry analysis, 1g and centrifuge model tests have been performed. A comparison of silica and carbonate sand behaviour at low stresses and low initial soil density was made possible by 1g...
