Winkler springs (p-y curves) for liquefied soil from element tests
Conference Proceeding
Rouholamin, M., Bhattacharya, S., & Lombardi, D. (2014)
Winkler springs (p-y curves) for liquefied soil from element tests. In K. Soga, K. Kumar, G. Biscontin, & M. Kuo (Eds.), Proceedings of the TC105 ISSMGE International Symposium on Geomechanics from Micro to Macro, IS-Cambridge 2014, (951-956). https://doi.org/10.1201/b17395-170
In practice, piles are most often modelled as "Beams on Non-Linear Winkler Foundation" (also known as “p-y spring” approach) where the soil is idealised as p-y springs. These ...
