The effect of the ratio of pile spacing to diameter (s/d) on behavior of tensile pile groups in dense sand

In this research, the behaviors of pile group models under uplift load have been investigated. The tests were conducted in two different models, laboratory (an experimental model) and numerical (by ABAQUS software). In both models, the load application method is strain-controlled. The goal is to evaluate pile groups' net final uplift force and efficiency while two determining factors change. For the first factor,...
