Influence of the pile stiffness on the ground slab behaviour
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2016 Just as other structural elements, ground slabs are an important unit of a building. It is especially true in the case of buildings, such as logistic centres, for which the primary purpose is storage of various goods.

The use of cement leftovers from the hollow of spun piles as an additive in self-compacting concrete [PDF]
, 2018 Spun piles have been used widely by developing countries, including Malaysia, to construct the foundation of most construction projects. A spun pile is a reinforced precast and prestressed concrete that is compacted in a mould through spinning compaction.

Static Load Tests, Short Series Interpretation
Studia Geotechnica et Mechanica, 2015 Statistic load test is the most commonly used method for estimation of the bearing capacity of piles. From the test we obtain the series a values: load-settlement, Q–s curve.

Revolving rivers in sandpiles: from continuous to intermittent flows
, 2007 In a previous paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 014501 (2003)], the mechanism of "revolving rivers" for sandpile formation is reported: as a steady stream of dry sand is poured onto a horizontal surface, a pile forms which has a river of sand on one side owing

The mixing time of the Thorp shuffle
, 2005 The Thorp shuffle is defined as follows. Cut the deck into two equal piles. Drop the first card from the left pile or the right pile according to the outcome of a fair coin flip; then drop from the other pile. Continue this way until both piles are empty.
