Increasing the Available Soil Rotational Stiffness using Rammed Aggregate Piers for Wind Turbine Foundations Applications
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2015)Wind turbine foundations must be designed to limit the angular rotation of the tower. Rammed Aggregate Piers (RAPs) are commonly used as a mean for increasing the available soil rotational stiffness by taking advantage ... -
Micropiles Performance Based Design: Evaluation of Current Design Methods Applied to Puerto Rico Soils
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2018)Micropiles have been used mainly as foundation support elements to resist static and seismic loads. The use of micropiles have been increased not only in locations with poor soil conditions, but also in congested areas and ...
