Research on Influencing Factors of Composite Foundation Settlement with Capped Pipe Piles Based on Centrifugal Model Test [PDF]
In order to study the influence of design factors of capped pipe pile composite foundation on differential settlement of expressways, using a geotechnical centrifugal model test platform, a centrifugal model of widen roadbed has been constructed.

An efficient 2-way shear grillage model solution for bridge RC four-pile caps under wall loading [PDF]
Reinforced concrete four-pile caps under wall loading occur in heavily loaded foundations in bridge construction. The failure mode of shear across the full width of the cap may occur in these deep structural elements.

Analysis of Dynamic Stiffness of Bridge Cap-Pile System
In order to investigate the applicability of dynamic stiffness for bridge cap-pile system, a laboratory test was performed. A numerical model was also built for this type of system. The impact load was applied on the cap top and the dynamic stiffness was

Mechanical Behavior Analysis of the Pile Cap for the Main Pylon of an A-Shaped Cable-Stayed Bridge [PDF]
To investigate the mechanical behavior of the pile cap for the main pylon of an A-shaped cable-stayed bridge without crossbeams, a realistic bridge of this type was selected as a case study.

Genome wide expression profiling reveals suppression of host defence responses during colonisation by Neisseria meningitides but not N. lactamica. [PDF]
Both Neisseria meningitidis and the closely related bacterium Neisseria lactamica colonise human nasopharyngeal mucosal surface, but only N. meningitidis invades the bloodstream to cause potentially life-threatening meningitis and septicaemia.

Behavior of pile caps on one steel pile
This paper reports the numerical analysis of several pile caps supported on one steel pile The variables studied were the column contact area the pile embedment into the cap and the presence of a bearing steel plate welded at the pile head The numerical analysis was based out from a three dimensional model set by the finite element method ...
