I am happy to announce that my final paper from the research project at Seoul National University has been successfully published! The project was funded by the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), and was carried out with: NGI - Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, The University of Western Australia, and Hongik University.
Please find the series of papers below, which consists of centrifuge studies and reliability analysis for the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) of transmission tower foundations under uplift loading.
