The One

The work at hand attempts to propose a local pile design method based on pile load test results for a reference site. Such LPDM is simply based on the identification of three dimensionless quantities, such as the capacity ratio CR, the stiffness ratio SR, and the group settlement ratio Rs. To prove the LPDM reliability, experimental data collected during years in the Neapolitan area (Italy) have been used to obtain the abovementioned coefficients. Then, LPDM has been applied, as a preliminary design method, to three well-documented case histories applying capacity and settlement-based design (CBD and SBD) approaches. The satisfactory agreement between the geometry in the original design of piles and the one obtained by applying the LPDM proves that the proposed methodology may be very helpful for preliminary design, allowing for reasonable accuracy while requiring few hand calculations.

The results of a comprehensive pile load-test program and observations from field monitoring of helical piles with either a single helix or double helixes installed in oil sand are presented in this paper. Eleven full-scale pile load tests were carried out including axial compression, uplift, and lateral load tests. The results of the full-scale load tests are used to develop a theoretical design model for helical piles installed in oil sand. Test results confirm that the helical pile is a viable deep foundation option for support of heavily loaded structures. The test results also demonstrated that circular-shaft helical piles can resist considerable lateral loads.

Sonic Logging

AbstractQuality of concrete for pile can be checked using Cross-hole Sonic Logging (CSL) Test. A processing method wide-band CSL data is presented herein. First Time Arrival (FTA) is an important consideration. In pile capacity analysis or CSL analysis, it is assumed that pile cross section is uniform with uniform value of elastic modulus of concrete but in real practice both are non-uniform. The procedure identifies the location accuracy and further characterizes the features of the defect. FTA is used to find out the location of the distress in the pile. This method identifies the exact location of any void or defect inside the rebar cage of a drilled shaft. This method provides a significant improvement to current techniques used in quality control during construction of bridges. In this present paper, the analysis has been carried out based on uniform and non-uniform values of pile cross section and E value of concrete. Cross hole sonic and pile load test using O-Cell were carried out on same pile at 7 and 28 days of concreting. Same pipes were used for base grout after cross hole sonic test. These results were used to analyze O-cell test results based on a case study and presented in this paper. The distribution of skin frication and skin friction force has also been presented herein with both uniform and non-uniform cross section and E values of concrete. Based on the field test results and analysis a simplified methodology, has been proposed in this paper, for development of Equivalent Top Down Loading with consideration of elastic shortening of pile and surrounding soil for both cases i.e., uniform and non-uniform E values and pile cross sections.

Pile Load Test

The main task of pile foundation is the reduction of settlement and ensure the safety of the building. These two factors are in strongly relationship. In practice pile load capacity is calculated based on ultimate resistances including factor of safety. The load-settlement relationship is non-linear, so it would can happen that despite the applied load (several times smaller than ultimate pile load capacity), the settlement exceeds the allowable value, and in consequently it might cause damage of the structure. In the paper the method of determining ultimate resistances and mobilization of these resistances with settlement was presented based on the static pile load test results. The proposed method can be applied in pile load capacity verification.

Pile Load Test

A building and its foundation were constructed in sandy ground using a reverse construction method. The main difference between a reverse construction method and a conventional construction method is that the piles are cast in place and are partially loaded by the superstructure early during the construction process. It is only later that the raft (mat foundation) is constructed to combine with the piles to bear the full building load. Therefore, the foundation is regarded as a pile group in early stages of construction, while the foundation behaves as a piled raft after completion of the raft construction. A simple conservative design approach was used for the design of the foundation. To examine the validity of the design method, settlements of the foundation were observed during construction. The measured settlements were smaller than those predicted in the design stage, satisfying the design requirements for the building. Post-analysis of the deformation of the foundation was carried out using the results of the pile load test at the construction site, and the results of the analysis are compared with the observed settlements of the foundation, aiming at an improvement in pile foundation design.
