Pile Load Test

Different methods have been used to determine the pile bearing capacity such as static equations, dynamic equations, empirical methods (EMs), numerical methods, computer software programs, and the pile static load test, these methods were giving different values for pile bearing capacity. In this paper, three empirical methods (Ems) have been selected (Brinch-Hansen, Chin-Kondner, and Decourt) and (AllPile 6) software (AP) has been applied to determine the capacity load of piles for six cases study of drilled concrete piles with a diameter ranging from 800 mm to 1500mm and embedded length ranged 10.5m to 26m. Four of those six piles are located at Portsudan city near the red seacoast and two piles are located in Khartoum city. The results of the pile bearing capacity (PC) calculations obtained using the above-mentioned different methods were compared with results produced by the pile load test. In all six cases study, the settlement of piles was limited, settlement failure was not reached. The results show that the AllPile 6 (AP) and the three mentioned empirical methods (Ems) gave reasonable piles bearing capacity, the (AP) and (BHM) gave the better result than the CKM and DM. While (DM) gave results similar to results determined using the (CKM). However, it was not preferred to use the (CKM) and (DM), unless the failure settlement has occurred in the pile load test.

Pile Load Test

This study aims to improve the shaft with hexagon joints to be a type not requiring welding or bolts in the static load test . In order to evaluate the bearing capacity of helical piles, two sites were selected to conduct pile installation for the field test and the pile load test. For the pile load test, the static pile load test and the dynamic pile load test were carried out, and torque was measured during pile installation for the field test to compare and analyze expected bearing capacity and thus assess the feasibility of the method for estimating the bearing capacity. The field pile load test revealed the bearing capacity of the gravity grout pile was the same or greater than 600kN in the static pile load test in accordance with AC 358 Code. The non-grout pile showed the bearing capacity the same or smaller than 600kN, suggesting gravity grouting is required. Moreover, the field pile load test was used to establish the bearing capacity equation considering the torque in pile installation, and a small number of samples were used to establish the equation which can be used as a basic data.

Test Pile

Vertical static load test is widely used in the determination of pile bearing capacity, the mathematical model used to fit test pile data in determining the bearing capacity is essential. From the perspective of analytic geometry, the paper analyzes the traditional method of hyperbola, of which the asymptotic line of equilateral hyperbola was used to determine the ultimate bearing capacity. By extending the equal-axed conditions, a more general form of hyperbolic equation is derived and feasibility of such method is also analyzed, which indicates that the maximum point of curvature in such hyperbolic curve can determine the ultimate bearing capacity and such method is proved to be reasonable in practical projects.

Shallow Footing

The Spider Net System Footing (SNSF) is a raft foundation system that commonly used in Indonesia. It contains a plate, downward ribs system for reinforcement, and the compacted filled soil. The ribs are in longitudinal and transversal, called as settlement rib and in diagonal direction, named as construction rib. This paper explores the load transfer mechanism along the plate, the ribs, filled soil and the base soil under the footing system. The mechanism is investigated by conducting full scale static load test on SNSF. Strain gauges were installed to monitor the strain increment of each footing elements during loading. 3D numerical analysis was also conducted to verify the experimental results. To analyze the results, Load-Ultimate Ratio Factor (L-URF) was proposed. L-URF was a ratio between ultimate soil bearing capacity of the SNSF and the applied loading at specific element. Higher the L-URF value means higher loading applied at its associate element. Both experimental and numerical results show that at the first stage the loading was fully carried out by the tip of the ribs and transferred to the soil stratum under the footing system. Increasing the loading, the ribs, plate, and filled soil altogether sustain the loading and then transferred to the soil stratum below the footing system. The results also affirm that SNSF generate higher bearing capacity compare with simple shallow footing.

The bearing capacity characteristics and side friction characters of post-grouting pile were studied in the static load test which included two piles with post-grouting or not. When the pile head settlements were same, the loads applied on the pile top were used to analyze the bearing properties of post-grouting pile. We got the ultimate side friction of post-grouting pile after fitting test curves of relations between friction resistance and displacement. The tests indicate that both the bearing capacity characteristics and side friction of post-grouting pile are increased in various degrees.

Prestressed high-strength concrete (PHC) pipe piles have been widely used in engineering fields in recent years; however, the influencing factors of their ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) in multilayer soil need to be further studied. In this paper, a static load test (SLT) and numerical analysis are performed to obtain the load transfer and key UBC factors of pipe piles. The results show that the UBC of the test pile is mainly provided by the pile shaft resistance (PSR), but the pile tip resistance (PTR) cannot be ignored. Many factors can change the UBC of pipe piles, but their effects are different. The UBC of the pipe pile is linearly related to the friction coefficient and the outer-to-inner diameter ratio. Changes in the pile length make the UBC increase sharply. Low temperatures can produce freezing stress at the pile–soil interface. The effect of changing the Young modulus of pile tip soil is relatively small.

<p>Collapse and falling of columnar structures such as road illumination poles installed on a bridge have been confirmed in the past earthquakes. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the seismic resistance of columnar structures from the viewpoint of securing the function as an emergency transportation route in the event of disaster. In this study, the destruction order and destruction form of the road illumination pole in the external force action were analyzed and verified, and the model specimen was produced to carry out the static load test. As a result of the experiment, it was shown that anchor bolts and wall concretes of the base were damaged antecedently.</p>

Bayesian Statistic

In static load test, most of piles do not destroy, the piles still exist capacity, which reduce the reliability index of pile foundation. This paper employs Bayesian Statistic method to update the measured capacity of piles. Meanwhile, based on updating data, the reliability index is calculated considering the destruction of piles. The case study shows that the reliability index of capacity becomes large when the time of pile destruction increases. Therefore, when judging the safety of pile foundation, it is highly necessary to consider the influence of pile destruction on reliability of piles.
