The results of the Proctorsville project showed that our understanding of the mechanics of pile driving—and of the load transfer mechanism between pile and soil during and after installation—left a great deal to be desired. The solution to the problem was to instrument the pile driving process. Such an effort was documented in the 1908 … Continue reading Goodrich (1908): The First Instrumented Pile?
It's my custom to review papers which cite my own work. This pair of papers, whose lead author is Tu Yuan from Zhejiang Sci-Tech University in Hangzhou, China, is interesting because it take an approach whose basic concept goes back a long way in pile dynamics and which needed some basic advancement. The two papers … Continue reading Comments on “Nonlinear fictitious-soil pile model for pile high-strain dynamic analysis” and “Fictitious soil pile model for dynamic analysis of pipe piles under high strain conditions”
