Finite Element Analyses of Granular Pile Anchors as a Foundation Option for Reactive Soils

Finite Element Analyses of Granular Pile Anchors as a Foundation Option for Reactive Soils

Laboratory and field studies have shown that granular pile-anchor foundations (GPAF) are a promising foundation system that can be used to reduce the detrimental effects of reactive soils. This paper presents results from finite element analyses undertaken on granular pile-anchor foundations in a re...
