This book was released on 2004 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study has extended the capability of the SW model in order to predict the response of laterally loaded large diameter shafts considering 1) the influence of shaft type on the lateral shaft response; 2) the nonlinear behavior of shaft material and its effect on the soil-shaft interaction; 3) developing liquefaction in the surrounding soil profile based on far and near-field induced water pressure; and 4) vertical side shear resistance along the shaft wall that has a significant contribution to the lateral shaft response
