PileBetaGR: An R-based integrative tool for predicting the geometric reliability index of piles using load-displacement curves by Xing Zheng Wu

“…The PileBetaGR package is a web application designed to enable accessible and reproducible computation of the geometric reliability index for piles using site-specific load-displacement curves. The application compiles a series of functions for analyzing load-displacement data: (i) a power law regression is used to fit each load-displacement curve, yielding a set of regression parameters for the site; (ii) a normal copula model is established to fit the joint distribution of these regression variables, allowing a geometric reliability index to be computed; (iii) the critical environmental contour is determined based on the joint probability density function and the limit state function. …”

“…The results indicated that: (1) The mechanical properties of RAC after carbonation were significantly improved, and the concrete prepared by the combined method of aggregate carbonation and overall specimen carbonation showed the highest strength. (2) The stress-strain constitutive models of RAC under different carbonation methods were built according to the experimental results. (3) The failure modes of the carbonated concrete SBTCSs were basically consistent and the precast layer and the cast-in-situ layer deformed coordinately during the loading process. (4) The SBTCS prepared by the combined method of aggregate carbonation and overall specimen carbonation showed the best bending performance, and the ultimate load bearing capacity increased by 16.2 % compared to the SBTCS made by non-carbonated RAC. (5) The load-displacement curves and damage contours of the SBTCSs obtained from the numerical analysis were in good agreement with the experimental results, and the maximum deviation between the simulated ultimate load and the experimental value was 8.8 %.…”

Experimental Study on Compressive Capacity Behavior of Helical Anchors in Aeolian Sand and Optimization of Design Methods by Qingsheng Chen, Wei Liu, Linhe Li, Yijin Wu, Yi Zhang, Songzhao Qu, Yue Zhang, Fei Liu, Yonghua Guo

“…The research findings demonstrate the following: (1) Compressive capacity exhibits significant enhancement with increasing helix diameter yet displays limited sensitivity to helix number. (2) Load–displacement curves progress through three distinct phases—initial quasi-linear, intermediate non-linear, and terminal quasi-linear stages—under escalating pressure. (3) At embedment depths of <i>H</i> < 5<i>D</i>, tensile capacity diminishes by approximately 80% relative to compressive capacity, manifesting as characteristic shallow anchor failure patterns. (4) When <i>H</i> ≥ 5<i>D</i>, stress redistribution transitions from bowl-shaped to elliptical contours, with ≤10% divergence between uplift/compressive capacities, establishing 5<i>D</i> as the critical threshold defining shallow versus deep anchor behavior. (5) The helix spacing ratio (<i>S</i>/<i>D</i>) governs the failure mode transition, where cylindrical shear (CS) dominates at <i>S</i>/<i>D</i> ≤ 4, while individual bearing (IB) prevails at <i>S</i>/<i>D</i> > 4. (6) XGBoost feature importance analysis confirms internal friction angle, helix diameter, and embedment depth as the three parameters exerting the most pronounced influence on capacity. (7) The proposed computational models for <i>N</i>_q and <i>K</i>_u demonstrate exceptional concordance with numerical simulations (mean deviation = 1.03, variance = 0.012). …”
