● TC28 Rome 2011
On
May 17th 2011,
Dr Francesco Basile will be giving a
panel presentation on "Pile-group response due to tunnelling" at
the
7th International Symposium on
Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground,
to be held in Rome.
● Repute used for the Pentominium Tower (Dubai)
Pile
foundations of the Pentominium Tower, the tallest residential tower in the
world, have been designed using Repute.
When completed, the residential tower will be 516 m tall, with 122 floors
above ground. More details on the paper by Ibrahim et al (2009) "Foundation
design for the Pentominium tower in Dubai, UAE".
● Bratislava 2010
On
June 4th 2010,
Dr Francesco Basile has
given a presentation on "Pseudostatic analysis of pile groups under
earthquake loading" at the
14th Danube-European Conference on
Geotechnical Engineering "From Research to Design in European Practice",
held in Bratislava (Slovakia).
● DFI conference in London, 2010
Dr Francesco Basile has presented a poster on "Torsional
response of pile groups" at the
11th DFI & EFFC International Conference on
Geotechnical Challenges in Urban Regeneration, held in
London on May 26-28, 2010.
● Developments on piled rafts
Piled
rafts are often a cost-effective type of foundation as the applied loads
are carried partly by the piles and partly by the raft contact stresses. A
research project, under the direction of
Dr Francesco Basile, is currently
under way in order to introduce the effects of raft-soil interaction
within
Repute's calculation engine.
● Repute at the base of the Burj Dubai Tower
Repute has been used for the
pile-foundation design of the Burj Dubai Tower, the world's
tallest building.
