The current practice for the design of large-diameter bored piles in residual soils in Singapore is based on the calculated static capacity of the piles. Insufficient consideration of the load-transfer mechanism and overreliance on pile load tests have led to conservative designs. A better alternative is to adopt a load–displacement analysis method that provides information on the load distribution along the pile and the complete load–displacement relationship. Results of full-scale load tests on instrumented piles indicate that bored piles in residual soils in Singapore behave in the same way as in stiff clay and weak rocks elsewhere in that the load transfer at the working load is dominated by shaft friction. Simple correlations exist between the standard penetration resistance and the load-transfer parameters. An example illustrates that the proposed design procedure that uses these simple correlations and the load-transfer method is an improvement over present design methods.

Bored Piles

Field test data from three instrumented large diameter bored piles in Pattaya city of Thailand were analyzed to study the behavior of load transfer mechanism from the pile to soil. The pile load test data were obtained from conventional static load test. These bored piles used for conventional static load test have the same diameter of 0.80 m and different length in the range of 25 m to 32 m. Results from back-analysis found that the skin friction resistance, β, has the value between 0.20 and 0.64 and the bearing capacity at end of piles, Nq, which is in the range of 10 to150, is much lower than the theoretical values proposed by other researchers before.

Axially Loaded

The behavior of single axially loaded large-diameter and super-long bored piles have large difference to single small diameter short piles. The article analyzes the load transfer characteristic of single axially loaded large-diameter and super-long bored piles in deep soft clay in the Yangtze River Delta region. And the hybrid method of finite element analysis of rod structure coupling with the shear displacement method for single pile was utilized to simulating and predicting the single pile performance. It is verified that the settlement calculation hybrid method in this paper is reliable.

Deep Soft Soil

Based on the experimental study of rotary filling piles with large diameter subjected to axial load in deep soft soil, the bearing capacity behavior and load transfer mechanism were discussed. Results show that in deep soft soil foundation, the super–long piles behave as end-bearing frictional piles. The exertion of the shaft resistance is not synchronized. The upper layer of soil is exerted prior to the lower part of soil. Meanwhile, the exertion of shaft resistance is prior to the tip resistance. For the different soil and the different depth of the same layer of soil, shaft resistance is different.

At the present time, in Astana city is going on works by construction public transport system LRT (Light Railway Transport). LRT is an overhead road with two railway lines. The first stage of construction is including construction of overhead road (bridge) with 22,4 km length and 18 stations. The foundation of bridge is the bored piles with cross-section 1.0HL5 m and length 8-КЗ 5 m. In these conditions, very important to control integrity of concrete body of each bored piles. For checking integrity- applying two methods - Low Strain Method and Cross-Hole Sonic Logging. The aim of this paper is to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method using the examples of a real application. The article presents loading tests of large diameter and deep boring piles on the construction site in new capital city of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Finally, some recommendations for testmg methods suitable for problematical ground conditions of Kazakhstan are introduced. Traditionally, pile load tests in Kazakhstan are carried out using static loading test methods. Static pile loading test is the most reliable method to obtain the load-settlement relation of piles. Results of static pile tests using the static compression loading test (by ASTM). static loading test (by GOST) and bi-direction static loading test (by ASTM) methods are presented in this paper. Experienced bored piles with length of 31.5 m. diameter 1000 mm. Hereafter the results of underground testmg by the piles with the methods of vertical static tests of SLT. BDSLT and SCLT are presented, which had been made on Expo 2017 projects, buildings of Pavilion m Astana. Kazakhstan.
