Abstract

Foundation on soft soil has always been a challenge for civil engineers and pile foundation is by far the most suitable and comprehensive idea for construction on soft soil. In this study, we produced a comprehensive overview of pile foundation research from 1992 to 2021 by making use of bibliometric analysis. This study was conducted based on the Web of Science Core Collection Database. In this analysis, data were retrieved and then sieved for different parameters to organize the data into various categories by means of Excel and VOS viewer. The objective of the research was to make an explanatory data set in order to help researchers in the pile foundation area. A database of 4803 publications has been retrieved. The analysis results show that the People’s Republic of China has yielded the greatest number of publications. Studies in this period are focusing on key factors associated with pile foundations such as soil structure interaction, pile group, settlement, liquefaction, bearing capacity etc. as suggested by the keywords analyzed in these publications. Analysis of the most cited articles in the field of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering reveals that the research area has expanded from analyzing axial behavior and strength of pile foundations to analyzing seismic responses, further moving to sustainable structure and artificial intelligence applications in the concerned field in the last 30 years.
