Nonlinear settlement prediction theory for CEP piles considering the effect of the consolidated body
Researchers have developed a new nonlinear settlement prediction theory for Consolidated Expanded-Plate (CEP) piles used in construction. The model accounts for the consolidated soil body to improve accuracy in predicting pile-head settlement.
Why it matters
Improving structural engineering models for deep foundations increases construction safety and reduces the risk of foundation failure.
