An analytical solution for integrity detection of a floating pile embedded in saturated viscoelastic half-space

A new mathematical model of a floating pile embedded in a viscoelastic saturated soil for low-strain integrity detection is proposed using the theory of porous media. The saturated surrounding soil is divided into Novak’s thin layers along the pile length and a homogeneous half-space underlying the...
