title = "Effect of slenderness ratio on the environmental impact of piles bored in clayey soil-case study",
abstract = "A significant number of studies have addressed the environmental footprint of superstructures, however, the environmental footprint of substructures has only been investigated to a limited extent. This research focuses on the environmental impact of deep foundations and means of minimising their embodied carbon. An analytical model is used to examine the influence of the slenderness ratio (L/D) on the capacities and settlement of bored piles of different concrete volumes. An optimisation algorithm is proposed to minimise the total embodied carbon, the algorithm is then applied to a case study of a monorail project in Egypt and a 59.6% saving of the total embodied carbon is achieved.",
