Abstract: Deformational control of structures has its greatest exponent in large dams monitoring, which, depending on their structural typology, can be subjected to movements generally based on both the pressure that they support and the temperature. The designer usually calculates the theoretical displacements that the dam will suffer considering the hydrostatic thrust and the temperature, but it is also true that these displacements are theoretical and they do not often fit to the real movements, due to the uncertainties that arise during the construction of any dam and make the final structure have changes which can be more or less significant with respect to the originally projected one. However, it is worth mentioning that they are usually lower than those theoretically calculated. The present research work focuses on a potential correlation and the subsequent determination of an empirical model that allows calculating the deformation by means of a polynomial fit, working on the basis of te

Abstract: The goal of this study is to prepare a new proposed method for the estimation of pile critical length in clayey soil for offshore structures. For this purpose the dolphin of Khor Al-Amaya berth No. 8 (in the Arabian Gulf, south of Iraq) is taking as a case study which subjected to dynamic load using the interface finite element method. A computer program has been written by Fortran 90 language to get the required solution. The (p-y), (t-z), and (q-z) curves which are adopted by American Petroleum Institute (API) are used to find normal, and tangential interface moduli and end bearing modulus. To get the required results, the Subspace Method is carried out for free vibration analysis and the Newmark method is adopted in direct integration time domain. The obtained results are compared with both elastic and Matlock and Reese solutions proved that the interface solution gives higher response values of vertical pile other than the two solutions because of the nonlinear effects of the inter
